Prime + Proper Detroit Reviews
48th Anniversary dinner
We went for our anniversary. From the time we walked in until the time we left the experience was amazing. Matt, Megan and Jackie are very knowledgeable with the meats and the wines. They made our visit very special. Service was awesome. Steaks were good but a tad overdone. The manager did come by and offer new steaks or something else. They were still very good, so we finished them. Dessert and after dinner cocktail were on the house. Yes, it is slightly pricey but well worth it.
Doesn't get better.
Tried to go for an occasion and found it's booked months in advance. Plan ahead. Months ahead. Unless, sitting at the bar is okay. It definitely depends on your occasion. Going to a concert- the bar is great. Intimate dinner............plan months ahead
Go Big or Go Home. Food was Awesome. Money Well Spent For Fine Dining Experience! Redo.
First of all we would never… we’ll never bring all 5 Walton kids to eat here because they are expensive and we would probably be scrubbing plates! Just kidding, but seriously this was a great experience. This was a random. We decided to walk around downtown and whatever we saw that looked interesting… we would consider it. Even Prime+Proper. We knew we were in trouble when we looked at the menu and there were no prices! However, we made a decision right then. “Go Big or Go Home”. We went big! The chicken fried obster slapped hard, the lamb chops were delightful. The service was upscale and top notch. I also liked that for a Friday in busy downtown Detroit we waited only 20 minutes. Its pricey, but it’s fine dining. Would most definitely go back. Ask for Valencia! She’ll take care of you!
Excellent Food & Service
Our intention was only to stop here for a cocktail, but because of the excellent service and suggestions by Victor and Savannah, it turned into cocktails, wine, appetizers and dessert. The Griswold Smash and Windermere cocktails were excellent suggestions by Victor to go along with the Oysters and Roasted Bone Marrow. Savannah gave a great suggestion for a bottle of Red by Two2 as well. Throughout the early evening, the conversations with Victor and Savannah on the history of the restaurant, their meat selection process, and talking to the Sommelier made this a very enjoyable experience. This is a definite must stop and I'll be going back to try one of their fantastic meat entree options.
Great atmosphere GREAT food!! Will be back next time in
Great atmosphere GREAT food!! Will be back next time in town! I love Moscato wine and it's the best I've ever had ! The octopus was amazing so tender cooked perfect ! Never had bone marrow- it was tasty My son and husband had the steak. I did try a bite of each of their so tender cooked perfect! My son had three of the virgin drinks and they were amazing. My husband had the espresso martini. It was so good. We've had it at many places, but it's the best we've ever had. Will definitely be back!
Meh, for the price.
Drinks and service were fabulous but the food was meh. For the price we paid i guess we expected ………. Really, the steaks were just ok. Someone, other than our servers, came by and asked how everything was and we said “fine” because at that point we were pretty much done eating and it wasn’t terrible. We won’t ever return.
The food was decent a bit pricy but the food justified the
The food was decent a bit pricy but the food justified the cost. However, as a party of 5 we were there for nearly 4 hours!! The wait staff took forever. We waited 20-30 mins to get our drink order in. Then another 30-40 mins to order food. The food came out in a reasonable time but the wait staff just seemed to forget us and we had two servers working our table. Took another 30 mins to get the check and another 30 mins to process the credit cards then to add insult to injury we wait 25 mins for the valet and our cars were parked right out front. It wasn't overly busy so we were confused why it took so long for everything.
Very good steaks
Very nice restaurant and steak house Side dishes are to share. The meat is phenomenal in quality and on the spot prepared.
Worthy of its spot in the top 100 in the world
World best steaks.com has this place listed number 60 in the world and it’s worthy to be in top 100. Service, food, ambiance, etc was great. I made a day trip from Northern Ohio to this place. So worth it. Wife had filet and I had scallops. Both cooked perfect. Sides were great. Vanilla cheese cake is a must. Be ready to pay up. I saw some negative reviews. I don’t know what their problem is with this place
You want a power dinner? You go here.
You want an excellent date night. You go here. And every time you walk out you're happy you went. That's the definition of high level dining in my book, and they are simply the best in the city. Seafood here is always top notch. Options from oysters to branzino to lobster always deliver. Our most recent visit offered meaty east coast oysters and delicate west coast oysters, as we enjoyed our way through the menu. The chicken fried lobster was the talk of the table, as we paired champagne and drinks with steaks on a summer evening. Excellent seasoned zucchini and eggplant chips to start! The service is A+ as every member of the restaurant staff is friendly and welcoming. The wine sommelier stopped by the table and was a highlight of the evening, along with our server!
Have an issue and would like them to call me back -cannot get it to happen
I CANNOT get this restaurant to answer their phone!! I’ve called easily four days in a row promptly at five when they open. I’ve emailed them no response. I have an issue with the $300 gift card I purchased from them. Extremely frustrating. Seems like the easiest thing they could do.

Prime + Proper is a delicious restaurant with a great atmosphere! Definitely one of the best restaurants in Detroit. Checking out for the perfect date night!
The food and ambiance is unparalleled to any other
The food and ambiance is unparalleled to any other restaurant. The only thing that needs work is the staff. The hostess kept looking at one of our friends and looking them up and down. After her judging and seating us every time she would pass she would look at my friend and whip her long beaded ponytail with an attitude. We've never experienced this and not sure what the lady's problem was. The food was phenomenal though so that made up for it somewhat. The steak just melts in your mouth.

Came for my birthday dinner! The food is delicious per usual and the staff is always great and super attentive, we opted to sit outside because the weather was great. I had lamb chops, we also had chicken fried lobster as an amazing appetizer. If you're in Detroit visit!
Great Service Good Food.
Love the bar vibes. I will definitely be back! Love picking up meat and grilling at home!
DISHONEST AND SHADY
They messed up my bill and it has been over a month. They still have not reimbursed me. Awful customer service and follow-up. They owe me roughly $200 of refund and I have yet to see it. I am getting no responses via email or follow-up via phone.
This place is awful.
I still have not received a refund what they messed up from Mother's Day dinner. They should be embarrassed... Do not go here. They steal your money.
Subject: Disappointing Experience at Prime & Proper I feel
Subject: Disappointing Experience at Prime & Proper I feel compelled to share my recent dining experience at Prime & Proper with you, as it unfortunately fell far short of my expectations. I have been a patron of Prime & Proper for the past two years, and with each visit, my disappointment seems to grow. On my most recent visit, May 23rd, the decline in both service and food quality was unmistakable. Although I must commend Jason, our bartender, for his exceptional service, I cannot extend the same praise to the rest of the experience. My party and I encountered prolonged wait times and inaccuracies in our orders, which only added to our frustration. Despite ordering what should have been a culinary highlight, the Cowboy Ribeye, priced at a substantial $95, I was served a steak that was practically well-done, accompanied by undercooked and poorly prepared mushrooms. Regrettably, my friend's Whole Lobster Risotto fared no better, being excessively salted and lacking the expected refinement. While I appreciated the gesture of apology from Lawrence, the manager, and the complimentary appetizers and drinks offered to remedy the situation, I couldn't help but feel that such missteps are unacceptable given the premium price point and reputation of Prime & Proper. It pains me to say that I cannot justify returning to Prime & Proper in the foreseeable future. Even as someone who has previously recommended your establishment to friends and colleagues, I find it difficult to overlook the significant disparity between cost and quality that I experienced during this visit. Unless there are drastic improvements in both food quality and service, I regret to say that I will have to explore other dining options in downtown Detroit. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I sincerely hope that my feedback can contribute to the ongoing refinement of your establishment. Warm regards, David
Great food and great service.
Beautiful restaurant highly recommend for a special night out or a corporate dinner.

Service was amazing! Unfortunately that is the end of the good part. My bone in NY strip was tough and not trimmed well. Still had connective tissue near the outer edge. It also tasted like a chemical liquid smoke was used. For the extreme prices, I expect better.
A nice atmosphere especially when the weather is nice and
A nice atmosphere especially when the weather is nice and the big windows are open, but it is very overpriced and the food, including the steak, is nothing amazing. This was my second trip and came away with the same feeling.
The food is good.
The prices are high. The service can be good but is inconsistent. Unfortunately after many visits my last was the worst. The waiters were poorly communicating with each other and forgetting about us. It was my birthday, which they did recognize but never brought any sort of dessert or celebration or sparkler to my table. It was sad to see as I watched many other tables around me get sparklers. This may sound ridiculous but there are many other attributes that add to the inconstancy of the night. Slow service (almost non existent), incorrect food received after long food wait times. Lastly, the wait to receive boxes, the check, and get it cashed it out was ridiculous. After emailing prime and proper about the experience they asked to hear more. I sent another email with much further detail and have received nothing in return. Sadly my money and birthday celebration choice felt very wasted that night. First experience to the last has been a downhill experience. I hope it gets better, it's really a cool place.
Unbelievable dining experience.
I couldn't find one thing wrong- the ambience, the service staff and management, the food and cocktails exceptional. Highly recommend the Tomahawk Ribeye Medium. Was amazing! Squash and burrata, the proper hash browns, pommes puree, broccolini, and gnocchi made excellent side dishes. Our service team was Claire and Christian and Michael the manager were so personable, professional and attributed to the enjoyment of this dining experience. Thank You!
Not a good experience
Newly opened black-owned restaurant. In their third week. Beautiful decor inside and out. Very bright, lots of artwork and charming. The servers all wear a uniform: dark trousers and a yellow jacket. Nice touch. The dining room was a bit too crowded for my liking. Too many tables. I would've preferred a little more space in between. I wasn't a fan of the hard chairs and very bright lighting in the dining area. Wouldn't be a restaurant I would recommend for intimate dining with your person or group. Service was very prompt. I felt a little rushed, but the servers seemed very happy and well versed on the menu. It may been a nice touch for the server to welcome me to their new restaurant. Menu. Very nice menu format. However, the menu was way too large compared to the size of the table. The drink menu was separate, but my recommendation would've been to have the food and drink menu together since the drink menu is not that extensive. Food. I must say for a new restaurant in this area, it was grossly overpriced at each category within the menu. My jerk chicken dish was over $40! It was full of good flavours, and accompanied by 3-4 small crepes that they recommended you fold over the chicken. Very similar to what other cultures do with roti or naan bread. I've had better jerk chicken just minutes away in the area for a lot less! However, it's not fair to compare and contrast pricing because the overall experience has to be factored in. And with that in mind, I conclude that the food pricing for the main dishes were $10-$20 overpriced. Drinks. Nice cocktail menu. Nice options. I ordered the Henny espresso martini. It was okay at best. Too much cream on top compared to the amount of liqueur, and did not fill the glass. I also ordered their version on a Moscow Mule (made with Mezcal tequila). This was made very well and tasted lovely. Dessert. No dessert menu. The server rattled off about 4-5 items. None of which were appealing, probably because he spoke too fast with no passion or conviction. Missed opportunity here to sell the desserts. No mention of after dinner drinks to round off. The check was paid electronically through a QR code. I would've preferred not to do this. It took away the personal service element. A 20% "service charge" was automatically added to the check. It would've been appropriate to let me know. I often feel service or tip fees have to be earned. When it is added up front, I question the desire they have to do a great job. I conclude to say, Prim and Proper is a beautiful restaurant, aesthetically. They are very new, and I'm sure they are still working through kinks, etc. I will give them that. The staff were all very nice. They offer valet parking, which is a nice touch, but there's plenty parking close by also. The food was just okay in my experience. Nothing to be impressed by, however, the presentation was very good. Food pricing was way too high on all levels and circumstances, as noted. I'm not sure if I would come back anytime soon, but I felt good knowing I was supporting a black-owned restaurant. I will always support my people. I am a little concerned that Prim and Proper may not be able to sustain a healthy and vibrant business long term based on my experience. I want the best for them moving forward. Just a few tweaks here and there to improve would be helpful.
the food was great.
The service was good. The waitress were nice. The dessert was amazing. Everything was amazing. They were very kind. Toris personalities were amazing. It was a good vibe and I love it.
Came in for a cocktail and they wouldn't let me sit down
Came in for a cocktail and they wouldn't let me sit down because my pants had a cuff at the bottom. Not trying to act bougie but I work for Gucci and was wearing it head to toe and they said there was no way for me to get a cocktail unless it was at the bar which had no seats. It's a 0/10 for me. From LA and not even those places do that. Bad for business. Wish I could rate the food and service since I host a popular food blog. They probably won't care

I ordered the $95 ribeye steak, mashed potatoes and I had a lemon drop. The food was delicious. Service was excellent and the lemon drops had me buzzing. I love this place it was an amazing experience. The servers were awesome. I'm definitely coming back.
Came here for my boys birthday ordered about 3 thousand
Came here for my boys birthday ordered about 3 thousand worth of steaks that the waiter just randomly picked out for us and didn't ask us how we even wanted it cooked. Gave us all rare without asking at a steakhouse. Also put truffle on all our steaks without asking unacceptable service for a place that charges as much as them. Don't recommend.
Came here for a special occasion.
Was told by the servers that the meat was top quality and the seafood was fresh. Our meal was SO salty. Some of the food was served cold E-mailed the restaurant to provide feedback as our meal was over 400 dollars and we did not eat, never got a response back. Disappointing meal to say the least, and disappointing customer service. Would not return.
Fantastic date night out!!!
My boyfriend and I came here for a date night last week-end… amazing!!! We had Joe and Rick as our servers and I honestly haven’t had service like that in a DECADE. These guys were fabulous… so friendly and knowledgeable! Joe took us for a tour and explained all the cuts of meat to us and how they are stored. He also showed us the private event room and sexy cocktail lounge downstairs! Rick was so passionate as he explained the menu to us! I love these guys, for real. The food was SO damn good!! We killed every single plate that came to the table! The ambience was perfect and the whole night was just magic! We can’t wait to go again!! Way to GO Prime & Proper… you guys know what’s up! Thanks for a wonderful evening! :)
Food was really great.
My husband and I went on VDAY and menus was changed. They make a shorter menu during holidays which actually sucks because we both wanted something they took off the menu. Overall the experience as good. Food was still great.
Our reservations were at 9 we didn't get seated until 9:40.
The place was half empty. We got our entree at 11 when they were shutting off lights and basically closing the kitchen. The steak was extremely tough. I didn't want to complain or i would've been there for another hour. Would not recommend. Very slow staff and the over priced food was average at best.
Everything I had was good and I was impressed.
One of the first things I'll do is eat there again once I visit Detroit again
Came here for Brunch on a Sunday.
LOVED the labneh and fruit; there's a crunchy sesame thingy and honey that added a *chef's kiss* taste. Eggs were solid, brioche toast was good. Not a fan of the onions added to the potatoes. Also not a fan of the iced latte. Our server, Caleb, who I believe to be a bartender bc we sat by the bar, was AMAZING; he was kind, attentive, polite and friendly. Will be back again soon!
Horrible restaurant.
Thursday night 8pm. Completely dead. Got the Louie $36 salad. Huh? All lettuce. An embarrassment. Had the lobster app as an entree. $36 . Terrible. So fried and maybe 2 oz of lobster. Onions rings $18...the most disgusting fried breaded rings I have ever had. Wine list is stupid. Huge mark up. Ended with a bill where they charged us $6 for tap water!!! Then $3 for an ice cube in a $30 bourbon. WTH!!! This place was empty for a reason.
The food was great and the service was awesome.
Renee, Richard and Tiffany were amazing!!

Hands down the best steakhouse I have been to in a really long time. They are a proper steakhouse. Everything we got was amazing. We started off with the grilled Caesar salad. The Caesar dressing was on point with actual visible anchovies. I got the pork chop which was one of the most tender pork chops I have had in a long time. My husband got the Waugh beef, also absolutely amazing. We got the carrots, Brussels sprouts and Mac and cheese as sides also done perfectly. The cheesecake was light and fluffy and the chocolate was decadent but still managed to be light.
I'm shocked at how much you pay for mediocre food! The
I'm shocked at how much you pay for mediocre food! The interior is the only decent thing prime and proper has to offer. Huge disappointment
Nice atmosphere with good service and excellent food.
Street parking and pay lot near by.
Gourmet Dry-Aged Steak Heaven!!!
We traveled for business and we tried this restaurant finding it on the internet for best steakhouses in Detroit. The menu features top of the line dry-aged steaks!! They even have a glass-walled dry -aged steak refrigerator downstairs near the bathrooms!! We enjoyed the Grilled Caesar salad for 3 to share. We split the 20 Oz dry- aged Rib eye for two and it was more than enough!! So tender with that dry-aged flavor! The third party enjoyed the 10oz dry-aged Filet mignon which was also amazing!! We had a bottle of red wine and desserts came… we tried the Baklava Sundae ( melted in your mouth ice cream and honey), the 5 layer chocolate cake (chocolate mousse not too sweet) and the Gooey Buttercake with fresh chopped pineapples on top with a drizzle of vanilla crème anglaise. The desserts were gourmet and made to perfection! The decor was elegant with marble tables - art deco meets industrial. We definitely would love to come back and recommend this strongly for families, business meetings, and hanging out with friends.
I attended a business dinner last night at Prime & Proper
I attended a business dinner last night at Prime & Proper and was completely blown away from the moment I walked in.A female server led me from the host stand to a private dining room that was reserved for our group, and she very thoughtfully gave me a heads up that we would be passing their meat aging cellar after learning that I don't eat meat via small talk. We had a group of 8 in the private dining room, which is encapsulated in a wine cellar and feels very exclusive.The service was absolutely out of this world. We had two dedicated servers who were incredible, sadly I only caught Ken's name but the female server I mentioned previously was also with us all evening. They were super friendly and extremely attentive; everyone's drinks were full at all times and each course was cleared promptly. A few of us have dietary restrictions and the staff was so thoughtful and accommodating - I was given an individual serving of one of the table's side dishes with the pork removed and I didn't even ask for it!Everything I tried was great. I ordered a vegetarian pasta dish as my entree and it was very good. Most of my colleagues ordered filets and everyone enjoyed their dishes.I will note that this is one of the pricier and more exclusive restaurants in town, and that dinner here is a full evening affair. I valeted my car, but there is some street parking (it's just hard to come by). Be prepared to either have to park and walk a little bit or valet your car if you drive to P&P.All in all, we had a great time and will absolutely return!
Fantastic service and meal ! Ask for Brian !!
Went for an anniversary and birthday celebration and the experience did not disappoint. Not just “a steak house - The steakhouse” per our server and he is right. The staff was attentive, the som made a great wine recommendation. Cocktails were wonderful. The bone marrow app was delish as was the p+p salad with a poppy seed dressing. 2 in our party had filets and 3 had bone in rib-eye. Lobster pairing yummy and perfectly cooked.the Oscar and homemade hollandaise topping made a wonderful steak even better. Be prepared — definitely on the pricier side, but fully worth it. Check out the meat aging room downstairs. We will be back!
High expectations, come up short
We have lived in the Ann Arbor area for about 3 years. The restaurant seen had gotten boring. You just can’t get the quality, professionalism, and atmosphere you can in a proper restaurant in a city. We haven’t ventured into Detroit that much but had heard great things about prime and proper and decided to give it a shot. We arrived a bit early unsure of traffic. That gave us a chance to sit at the bar for a drink before dinner. First impressions, the host stand was super polite and friendly. We sat at the bar and there were a handful of other there. Interestingly all there by themselves. I thought the cocktail list looked interesting. We each ordered something off the cocktail list both enjoyed. The bartender wasn’t very social and it wasn’t that busy. There seemed to be slot of activity behind the bar. It was a little different with main bar area run by a bartender and things happening behind it. A little hard to explain. The overall atmosphere to be honest was kind of blah. It was very bright, didn’t have any energy, it didn’t have a clear personality. There was the whole dry aging meat downstairs you can see that didn’t really fit with the upstairs atmosphere. It just wasn’t clear. We finished the drinks and went to our table. We decided to sit outside since the weather was quite nice. Victor was our waiter. Highlight of the night. Very personable and knowledgeable. We brought our own bottle of wine but went with another cocktail first. I was looking for something in why wheelhouse but wanted to give the bartender some creative license. I enjoy manhattans and old fashions which I told the server so I wanted something on one of the those family of cocktails. I said maybe if there are some house made syrups or something but let the bartender decide. I was asked if there were any cost limitations and I said don’t go over $25. I was asked if I wanted a “premium” cube. Sure, why not. I would actually expect that at a restaurant of this caliber. I was delivered an old fashioned. Basil Hayden bourbon. Not very exciting, pretty basic, not the creativity I was hoping for. Moving on to starts. We had the bone marrow and the tuna. Both were ok. The bone marrow had short rib on it and to be honest the bone marrow was a little lacking. More of a short rib app with bone marrow than a bone marrow app with short rib. The tuna was nothing special. On to main course. I had the New York strip and we split the hash browns and fries. Then steal was good. It comes with a price tag of $85. The hash rows were very good. Comes with a red salsa and over easy egg which was all combined at the table. The fries were pretty good. When we left it just felt we didn’t get our moneys worth. It was good not great the prices would make you expect great, food great everything. Initially I was goi f 4/5. Well a couple weekends later we were in Chicago. Went out to eat a couple times. Night and day difference. Now Chicago compared to Detroit, no contest. But I’d still expect high end restaurants to have certain characteristics in a large city. I wasn’t feeling it. And for the price relative to other big city prices it didn’t stack up. I forgot to mention $50 corkage for the bottle we brought. Now I get the concept of corkage and the restaurant needs to make wine on wine. But $50, which I did know going in, still it’s high. For anyone traveling to Chicago….Swift and Sons in the West loop. Great atmosphere, great meal, great service, everything you would expect going going out to eat in a city. And prices much more reasonable for the same quality. Well onto my 5/5 review for Swift and Sons.

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Prime + Proper Detroit at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Prime + Proper Detroit page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* ElaborateHouse74, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* ElaborateHouse74 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to ElaborateHouse74 for any questions Peter may have as ElaborateHouse74 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* ElaborateHouse74 now uses their connections at Prime + Proper Detroit to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If ElaborateHouse74 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, ElaborateHouse74 receives the $200 reward which is credited to ElaborateHouse74's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Prime + Proper Detroit!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
