    Guess who's back....our friends suggested we give Prime + Proper another try so We headed here on our bar stroll of the city! I was extremely curious about their Happy Hour/ Bar Menu. My friend raved about her experience here! I thought the bar menu was fantastic especially the champagne and caviar options! Wow!!!! I absolutely loved having a few bumps with my Veu bubbly! My bf ordered scallops which were delish but the true star of the show was the P + P Waygu Hamburger! OMG....amazing!!! Run don't walk on this Bar Menu! It is absolutely fantastic.

    Fabulous cocktail!

    Great food and even better service. He was busy, yet made us feel like we were the only ones in the place. We sat at the bar for their bar menu -- and it's still pricey but less "I need to wait for my birthday" type of check. The ribs...omg, to die for. Generous portions, fantastic drinks.

    This was delicious! I gave it 4 out of 5 because it was almost perfect. I'll explain later. Otherwise, the experience was great!! We came in and were greeted and seated instantly. A server came who specialized in cocktails and wines to start us off. Then, we were greeted by our very knowledgeable server who took our appetizer order. We were served our beverages and divine bread while we waited. Shortly after, an array of scrumptious appetizers were brought to the table for us to taste. Everything was so good. After we enjoyed our starters, the server took our dinner order and then a manager gave us a tour and a little history of the restaurant. When we came back and got settled, our meal was delivered to the table. It was very delicious. No need for sauces or butter on your steak. Aged steak is flavorful without any of that! Anyhow, the reason why I gave it 4 out of 5 is that my steak was very overcooked. I ordered medium and got well-done. There wasn't even a little pink on there. Yes, I could have asked to have them redo it but I don't like to be wasteful. It was still good but just not the way I prefer. Other than that, this was a most enjoyable and delicious experience. If you're thinking about checking it out, do it!

    The ambiance and the experience is what made the evening. The bartender was very professional, polite and attentive. I mentioned my birthday and they sent out a cute pastry with a happy birthday placard in chocolate which was thoughtful. The seats were amazing comfortable at the bar. They offered affordable valet parking, which the staff can notify them of your departure. They definitely cater to a specific clientele based on food offerings and setting. The tots were fresh and crisp. The ricotta gnocchi was very flavorful and something I would recommend. I tried the whole chicken (well done) and it lacked sufficient seasoning. Seasoning as in salt and/or seasoning in general. There was possibly a brine on the chicken, but lacked anything to make it worth enjoying again. They are known for steak, so if you go then try that over chicken alone. If you are hungry then you will need to order a 4-5 course meal (soup, salad, appetizer, entree & possibly dessert) based on serving sizes that my dinner party had. Cocktails are crafted with care and worth the wait. My group enjoyed tequila old fashions which allowed for selection of tequila from the bar options. I went with a mezcal based cocktail which was very balanced. Pack your patience because we ordered bar food and the wait was at least 30 minutes. The dining area was semi busy when we sat at the bar that was empty compared to the table seating. The chicken took what felt like over 40 minutes for it to be well done which led to the wine being room temperature and flat by the time it came out which was highly disappointing. Overall it was an experience. It is centrally located for those that do business downtown and frequent the area. The staff is knowledgeable. The food is a good place for a date night or business dinner as it is a high end restaurant.

    I've been wanting to try this place for years and they did not disappoint ! I had 8:30pm reservations for my birthday. I did have to wait 20 minutes for my table but they made up for that with their superb service. We had 2 servers to our table why were very nice and made our experience pleasurable. The food was very good. I had the filet, Oscar style , Mac and cheese and potato prive. We also got a Caesar salad for the table. I highly recommend this place if you're looking for a good steakhouse in the city. The atmosphere is beautiful. This spot is very fancy so come well dressed. They also have valet parking for only $15. The drinks are also great. Another thing I liked is they don't kick you out after a certain time like some restaurants do we were in the restaurant until about 12 AM enjoying our ourselves. They closed at 11

    I had been to P+P a couple of times for drinks before, but finally had a chance to visit for dinner, and I was impressed by the fantastic ambiance and service. Everyone was incredibly professional yet friendly. I was most impressed by their head sommelier, who offered wonderful recommendations, and by the server who cut the Dover Sole tableside for us -- incredible skill and precision... the spine came out totally clean, with no meat sticking to it! The space is beautiful both inside and outside. We enjoyed the patio on a warm evening, but I think the best tables may be the inside ones that are right next to the patio sliders -- you still get the open air feeling but with the inside environment. Food was good -- we tried the bone marrow, Dover Sole, broccoli side, fries, and whole fried chicken. I'd say I wish the bone marrow was more in the French fatty style, and the chicken could've had a bit more seasoning, but everything else was delicious. The cocktails and wine were great. The wine selection is fantastic, though maybe a bit on the expensive side. I do appreciate how knowledgeable the staff is about it though, and they do have a great selection of by-the-glass pours, so you can try lots of great wine without totally breaking the bank. Overall, a fantastic experience at one of the best restaurants in Detroit.

    Always an incredible meal. We tend to go once a year with a biz group and get the private room in the basement. Incredible top shelf service only outdone (barely) by some of the best steaks around.

    Peanut Butter Pave

    The service was excellent. Our servers Logan and Savanna were very attentive and friendly. The food was excellent. The desserts were over worth the extra calories. The corkage fee was the most I ever paid and I usually bring a bottle to most places. Overall would go back again minus bringing a bottle of wine.

    Anthony and Jazmine were amazing at the bar. Attentive. Knowledgeable and super friendly. It was our first time. And they made it even better! The food was amazing. The drinks were made perfect. All the staff was friendly.

    Amazing! Probably the best meal of my life. Wow! My mom took me here for my birthday earlier this month and it was so special. The whole experience was phenomenal. Everyone who works here is so kind, attentive, and makes you feel special. A note was placed on our table about it being my birthday and everyone made me feel like the most important person. Chris and Matt were our experts for food and beverages and they provided fantastic recommendations. Brian called me Lady L and said the evening was all about me and took photos of me and my mom, and even escorted my mom to the restroom and gave us a tour of the downstairs. Jacob and Lawrence also helped make our evening special with their kindness. The food is phenomenal. As appetizers, we shared a wedge salad and the chicken fried lobster. Both very tasty. For my main course, I had the Dover Sole, stuffed with the Oscar (crab) from the accessories section. It was deboned and prepared table-side and very cool to watch. My mom loved her filet mignon. Perfectly seasoned and cooked to her liking. We chose the hash browns for a side and it was so flavorful and crispy. So good! My mom also enjoyed a side of mushrooms. The cocktails are lovely too. Wonderful variety of wines and liquor. Dessert was epic as well. I had the peanut butter pave. Wow! I love peanut butter and chocolate and this really delivered. My mom loved her cheesecake with raspberry cream. They also brought me a bonus dessert for my birthday. The decor is beautiful and chic. The restaurant is spacious and we felt like we had a lot of privacy. We could really take our time and enjoy the meal. We never felt rushed. Downstairs is beautiful too and has space for special events. Everyone here really went above and beyond to make sure I had a special birthday. Everything about this experience was perfect. I'll never forget it.

    Was not impressed by Prime + Proper at all. Prices were much higher than even other upscale steak houses nearby. Service was subpar, we still had empty appetizers dishes on our tables while we're having the main course. Hardly any check in to ensure all is well from the staff. We did go towards the end of the night on a weekday, but there were still plenty of staff in the restaurant to ensure proper handling of each table.

    This was my second time coming here. It's been awhile. The last time I visited was in 2021 during the first week they opened back up. The food changed a bit but I still enjoyed it over all. The bread was still really delicious. The beef tartare changed quite a bit. There was an overwhelming amount of horseradish present. We count finish it. Without being promoted, they removed it from our bill. The bone marrow was really good but again, it change from last time. When I first had it, it was more gelatinous. This time it has more meat. More substance. Both ways were good. I'm not a fan of mushrooms but they had a mushroom appetizer that was unique and delicious. I also had the Marble potatoes and carrots as I side. They were really good. The star of the show was the Lobster grits. When they say lobster, they mean it. The restaurant is of course beautiful but it's always packed.

    My Birthday dinner was absolutely amazing at Prime + Proper. The food, the drinks, the service, the ambiance...all top tier! We started our meal with the chicken fried lobster for the appetizer and loved every bite of it. Yes, I'll have another. I'm at a steakhouse so had to have the bone-in New York strip. We ordered it medium but both agreed it was more medium rare. No issue because the steak tasted great. Our sides were mac and cheese and the mushroom in burnt onion jus, and we especially liked the mushroom. The sauce has a unique taste which pushes the flavor profile to the top. I chose the baklava sundae for dessert after our server raved about it. The sundae definitely deserved its accolades. Since it was my birthday celebration, they also gave me a strawberry cake to enjoy. Everything at Prime + Proper went beyond my expectations. The restaurant has secured a place on my Favorite Restaurants list.

    Ask the Community - Prime + Proper

    Can I bring my dog to the patio? So no. I just called and they scoffed?

    Yes!

    So, I really cant have a steak well done?...Pink is just not appealing.

    I would ask for it just at medium or I wouldn't eat steak and order the Scallops instead

    Can anyone tell me about the different seating options at Prime and Proper? Looking to make a reservation and the choices are Dining Room, patio and bar table. Just looking for clarification on patio and bar table.

    Hi there! The patio seating is all outdoors on our heated patio area. The bar seating is referring to the booths attached to our bar at the front of the restaurant and the dining room is our main seating area. Please call us if you should need… 

    Do they serve grits and do they serve pork belly?

    Hi there! Our current menu does not have either of these items. We hope to serve you soon!

    How much is valet, and is there street parking nearby?

    $15, and yes there is street parking nearby

    Do they serve halal beef? I heard some of the steaks are from halal sources?

    Yes they do . Anywhere you see on the menu where it says Creek stone farm beef or chicken . It's halal . A lot of the expensive restaurants have halal steak now days .

    What is the dress code?

    No real dress code, but you will want to look good

    What are the prices like here? I don't see any listed on their site and no one has posted a menu photo yet.

Here is the lay of the land: Check in at the little red table in the center of the outdoor courtyard if you want "full service". - which means eating and drinking at a table with wait staff. It is not seat yourself at the outdoor tables, like we originally thought. There is a nice sized bar indoors and seating at the bar is first come first served. We ordered several of the small plate "snacks" and I can tell you that the hummus is not to be missed. It is served with (homemade?) tortilla chips that are absolutely addictive. They have lots of choices for wine, beer, and cocktails. Towards the back entrance of the property, there is a drink truck where you can also order "walkaway" food and drinks.

If you want to sit outside, all you have to do is order at the bar and they'll serve your drinks in plastic cups for you to take outside. The rhubarb pie punch was so delicious I had to order it twice! Probably one of my favorite cocktails I've ever had. I also ordered the maurixio cattelan, which tasted like ginger ale. For a snack before dinner, we chose to get the burrata and it was so refreshing. The service was great and our bartender was super friendly! The logo with the little lamb is adorable. I bought one of their wine glasses with their logo on it too for just $10.

The theme was "Yes, Chef: An exploration of culinary icons through a cocktail lens." Each drink was inspired by or dedicated to a famous culinary icon, and you can read about each one in the index. We each ordered one drink from each section. From the Opening, I chose the Diaspora Club, which was so refreshing and delicious. Then from the Principals, I chose the Chingona, which was a little bit spicy and savory but still so refreshing. To Finish, I chose the Chocolatier Cosmo, which came with a tiny house-made salted dark chocolate. I loved all three cocktails I ordered, especially the chocolatier cosmo because it was perfectly sweet and went so well with the small piece of chocolate. For food, we started off with the crispy pork belly milk bread. For my entree, I ordered the miso butter gnocchi. It was kind of on the salty side but I still really liked it. The apple sofrito added a bit of sweetness to it. For dessert, we had to get the rhubarb coffee cake, which came with strawberry ice cream. Omg one of the best desserts I've ever had!! I never thought of combining cinnamon coffee cake with rhubarb or strawberry but it's perfect, and I might have to make something like that soon. Service was great and we were seated right away at 8pm on a Saturday despite not having a reservation. Food and drinks came out promptly and timed perfectly. We spent about 1.5 hours here and we never felt rushed.

Our server was very welcoming and helped to set up our food order into courses that allowed us a very relaxing evening Cocktails were really good. I had a Last Word and it was very well done.

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.
