    Chocolate chip cookies
    David C.

    Presley's Kitchen + Bar is truly a standout for anyone looking for a sophisticated yet approachable meal in Detroit. For a solo traveler heading to the airport, the bar seating provides the perfect vantage point to appreciate the fast-paced, efficient service without feeling rushed. Garden and Goat Omelette: This is where the kitchen shines. The combination of creamy goat cheese layered within and sprinkled on top creates a rich texture that complements the savory, sautéed vegetables. The "fluffiness" of the eggs suggests a high level of technical skill behind the line. While the breakfast potatoes are a standard reliable staple, the fresh toast and house jam are the hidden stars, providing a sweet, crisp contrast to the savory omelette. The Atmosphere & Service The staff behind the counter manages the Saturday rush with impressive speed, maintaining a friendly demeanor that makes a solo visit feel intentional rather than just a quick stop. It has that classic Detroit energy--polished but grounded. The "Extra Mile" Touch What really sets this place apart is the hospitality. While lingering over coffee refills before heading to the airport, the staff surprised me with a thank-you bag containing two delicious chocolate chip cookies. It's a thoughtful, high-class gesture that proves they truly understand customer care and the art of the "parting gift." Pro Tip: The Latte Situation If you are used to a larger "Venti" style coffee, the lattes here may seem petite as they are served in traditional, smaller cups. The simple fix? Order two. The quality of the espresso is worth the double order, and it allows you to linger a bit longer before catching your flight.

    Immediately the experience wasn't great the but the manager is amazing and redeemed the experience. Our server didn't bring one of our meals out, fries were cold and drinks were wrong. But the manager fixed all of this. We ordered Caesar salads with salmon,truffle fries, burrata, the purse with wine, and a rock and rye old fashioned. All of the food was amazing 10/10. The manager also brought us out a carrot cake which was the best I ever had. We sat outside because it was a nice day and it was fun enjoying the busy street. I will give this place another shot for sure.

    PK Chicken Tender Platter

    Presley's Kitchen and Bar is a great restaurant bar connected to the David Whitney Hotel. We grabbed seats at the bar and ordered a couple appetizers to share, which turned out to be the perfect move. The spinach, artichoke, and feta dip was served hot and came with warm tortilla chips. When we were down to the last bit of dip, the bartender even brought us a few extra chips so we could finish it off -- a small touch that didn't go unnoticed. We also ordered the PK chicken tender platter, which was perfect for sharing and really hit the spot. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and what stood out most was that they remembered our names when we walked by the next day. It's little things like that that make a place memorable. Definitely more than just a typical hotel restaurant.

    Situated in the David Whitney hotel as one of its two bars and definitely it restaurant, Presley's Kitchen & Bar is a great bar to hit up before and after pretty much anything downtown. This is often where I stop walking back to the shuttle from the Lions games and I've never had a bad experience. Walking in from the Woodward side, you are immediately noticing the large modern bar in the center of the restaurant. Aesthetically, Leather seated booth and bar seats mimic the elegance the lobby of the hotel presents, but in a cleaner, leaner model. Being a more cocktail forward bar/restaurant the prices tend to run probably a little higher than typical for these similar items, but the quality and flavors that go into each item is noticeable. I will say, the time I was here for Happy Hour, it was one heck of a deal. Can get a double smashburger and beer for like $20. The food itself is good if not anything that might wow you. You are pretty much guaranteed a solid meal. Service here has always been friendly, but efficiency can be sporadic depending on how busy it is. I would suggest you get your food order ready by the time they ask for your drink order because it might be a while before they come back around. But honestly, expect for that hiccup it's always been a good expererience, although nothing I would go out of my way to get to.

    Shrimp tacos
    Chelsea Y.

    Absolutely gorgeous venue and great place to get drinks and hang out. Unfortunately the shrimp tacos I got were very average, would not get again for the price. Tortilla chips were also a bit stale. Flour tortillas were also too thick and overpowered the shrimp.

    I think my expectations were too high for this place. I've been twice now and the service is not it.. always slow and have an "I don't care" attitude. The interior feels a little cheaply made, but this is also a hotel restaurant so that's to be expected sometimes. The food wasn't bad but it took forever to arrive and wasn't amazing for the cost. I don't know I guess I'm just disappointed with this spot. I'm glad some people like it and I do appreciate that they are open before the work day for breakfast!

    Absolutely NOT! For tasted old and service was just horrible. Never coming back here! It truly wasn't that busy, but service took forever.

    Lobster roll
    Whitnee D.

    First thing I noticed was how beautifully laid out the restaurant was and how friendly the staff were from the moment we arrived. Our waitress was extremely knowledgeable about the menu and offered great recommendations. The Elvis French toast was excellent. It was the perfect sweet treat without being overly sweet. I also enjoyed the lobster roll, which was served on a delicious rendition of Texas toast. I typically do not eat cold lobster rolls, and they were happy to warm it for me. My friend ordered the salmon bowl and really enjoyed it as well. There was a small glitch with our order, but the service truly stood out. Our waitress remained extremely attentive, and the manager took time to personally check on us multiple times to make sure everything was made right. We truly appreciated the level of care and attentiveness shown throughout our visit.

    My group and I recently dined at Presley's before heading to a concert at Little Caesars Arena, and the location was absolutely perfect for a stress-free pre-show meal. The restaurant itself was cute and inviting, and we loved that it was situated within a nice hotel that boasted lovely holiday decor, which really added a festive touch to our evening! We started with the shared Street Corn Dip, and it was a great choice! It was tasty, and the accompanying tortilla chips tasted noticeably fresh, which we appreciated. For my main course, I ordered the Lobster Roll, and it was the star of the evening--truly very, very good. The lobster was the best thing I ate, and the presentation was excellent (it even had a nice piece of lobster meat on top!). The fries served alongside it were decent. For drinks, I enjoyed a split of La Marca Prosecco, which was delightful. My friends who ordered cocktails found them to be a little on the sweet side, but I certainly enjoyed my Prosecco selection. Finally, the service was speedy and efficient, which is exactly what you need when you have concert timelines to meet. Presley's Kitchen and Bar offers a great downtown dining option, especially if you're looking for a quick, convenient, and well-decorated spot before an event at LCA. Highly recommend the Lobster Roll!

    In the "D" for Maroon 5 concert at LCA tonite. Walking around the city seeing so much renewed life and activity. Decided to check out Presley's Kitchen & Bar for a cocktail. Great ambiance in this historic property, now a hotel and residences. Service was amazing from the minute we reached the door to our server at the bar. We only had cocktails but they were amazing. Definitely suggest checking them out. Ok so cocktail led to an appetizer......jalapeño Cornbread with whipped butter and local honey... yum

    From the time we walked in to everything about this place has my wife and I wanting to come back. It was Valentine's Day yesterday and our waitress was Lainey. She was spot on; one everything she did for us. From prompt service to attention to details. She was great. The food was valentines specials. Unique and very tasty! The ambiance was very nice and clean. Although our table top was loose. It didn't hinder our experience too much. We'll come back another day.

    Breakfast Sandwich
    Dave W.

    We went here for brunch ahead of a Saturday afternoon Tigers game. Fortunately, we arrived at the perfect time to secure an outdoor table, right along Woodward. Our server, Angelica, promptly greeted us and was an absolute delight throughout our entire dining experience. When we saw "homemade pop tarts" on the menu, we knew we had to give them a try. They were delicious and their only similarity to the pieces of cardboard called pop tarts that they sell in the grocery store was their name. We decided to split the breakfast sandwich and the garden & goat omelette. Both were good, although they were a bit bland. Definitely an enjoyable spot and I would go back again!

    Came here Saturday morning for brunch around 11. We made a reservation and were seated quickly. The restaurant was pretty busy, it was a tigers game day and Father's Day weekend. We started with bloody Mary's which were very good! For brunch I got a crab cake and a side of bacon. My mom got the "aunt lo's biscuits and gravy" my crab cake was almost all crab and the garlic aioli it was served with was great. Bacon was cooked perfectly. The biscuits and gravy were also delicious. The biscuits were warm and fluffy, the gravy was very sausage heavy which was great! Overall a good spot to visit for breakfast / brunch

Nate and I stopped in on our most recent visit to Detroit and had a lovely experience. The space is tucked away but had a surprising amount of outdoor space--we were there in January but I'd love to come back in the summer. We were greeted right away and given a spot near the bar. The menu includes cocktails, lots of wine, and several tasty food options. It was quite busy inside, so it took a bit of time for our server to come over to us, but we weren't in a rush. They had ten cocktails on their list and I tried the bullet proof soul and Nate got the negroni alla perra. The ingredients list for some of the cocktails include things I've never heard of, but at a place like this, I just know it's going to be good. Our drinks were perfectly balanced and very tasty. We also ordered the mortadella sandwich to split--this was delicious. It was pretty messy, but worth it. It was perfectly toasted and full of mortadella. Everything on the menu sounded delicious and I would love to try more of the food options. Can't wait to visit again!

There were friendly patrons all around and we chatted with other bar admirers. We checked out the coffee shop, Warda, but didn't purchase anything then, but have had several of their desserts since then and they did not disappoint. The atmosphere is wonderful, indoor/outdoor bar, great outside seating - not sure how this will work in the winter? They also have very pretty stone paths with multicolor stones mixed in for a very peaceful beautiful look. It inspired me to add some multicolored stones to my garden! I can't wait to return.

It's sleek, intimate, and effortlessly cool without feeling pretentious. The lighting, the music, the overall aesthetic -- everything feels intentional. It's the kind of place that works just as well for date night as it does for a night out with friends. Now let's talk about the drinks -- because that's where Standby really shines. The cocktails are creative, beautifully presented, and perfectly balanced. You can tell there's serious thought behind every ingredient. Whether you're into something bold and spirit-forward or smooth and refreshing, they nail it. The food matches the energy of the bar. Every dish feels curated, flavorful, and plated with care. It's not just "bar food" -- it's thoughtfully crafted and pairs perfectly with whatever you're sipping. Service has always been attentive and knowledgeable. The staff knows the menu inside and out and makes great recommendations without making you feel rushed. Standby is one of those places that feels like a hidden gem even though everyone knows about it. If you want craft cocktails, elevated bites, and a true downtown Detroit vibe, this is your spot. I'll definitely be back.

Downtown Detroit definitely feels different now, and the crowd has shifted a bit, but none of that took away from what The Standby is. That alleyway magic is still there. Walking in honestly felt like a little blast from the past, and it made me really happy. It ended up being a highlight of my trip home. The food was phenomenal. The crab was so buttery, the waffle situation was amazing, and the overall execution across the menu was impressive. We ordered a lot, basically half the menu and everything hit. * Short rib plate: delicious, rich, and comforting * Chicken schnitzel with curry mustard: WOW. Juicy, crunchy, fresh, perfectly seasoned. The curry mustard was everything, and that little pepper on top? 10/10. This was hands down my favorite dish. * Drinks: They had brand ambassadors for Wild Turkey, giving out free Old Fashioneds, which was honestly the perfect touch. We also had a small ounce pour of a mezcal that was beautifully smoked, super aromatic and smoky in the best way. Service was great too, we had two different servers, and both were attentive and kind. The only miss for me personally was the pastrami salmon toast. I wanted to love it so badly because I love salmon and I love smoked fish, but it just wasn't for me. I actually sent it back (which I felt bad about). I think the slight sweetness, (possibly from the tomato jam)threw it off for my palate. I was craving something fully savory with a bit of acidity. I think a thicker, crunchier toast and a more umami-forward, citrusy or pickled element might have taken it where it needed to go. That said, I know pastrami-style salmon is a thing right now, it just didn't work for me. Everything else? Truly amazing. The Standby will forever be a place I come back to when I'm home. I'm excited to return, see what's new on the menu, and relive that magic again. Highly recommend. 10 out of 10. Will absolutely be back.

Between the two of us we had the beet salad, burger and steak tartare. Burger was good, but not the best smash burger that I've had. Beet salad was fine, however the cream cheese was a bit overpowering against the orange oil. It was dying for some citrus. Steak tartare was a bit dry, meaning that a small dab of olive oil would have added to the richness and overall mouth feel. I did not really taste the egg although I did see a dab of yolk on the tartare. Needed a bit of salt also to enhance the taste Menu was small, but it did cover a cross section of French bistro dishes. All in all, I thought it was a bit overpriced. So I will have to consider returning for a full meal. I would come back for a burger and beer at the bar.
