Perfect for brunch! The staff is amazing and the food is even better. I sat on the patio outside, being able to view the scenery downtown Detroit while eating is very nice!

Shout out to Indra, Joe and Kenny for making our dining experience at Prime & Proper absolutely outstanding! I will never forget this dining experience or the fried lobster. I'm obsessed. Prime & Proper in Detroit is probably the best service at a restaurant I've ever had. It's located in the heart of the city and it significantly surpassed every expectation with respect to both food and service. The name is inspired by the concept of being "prim and proper." From the moment you step inside, the historic space is elegant with marble everywhere. The ambiance, for me, is reminiscent of a refined 1920s upscale restaurant. The meat locker, showcasing dry-aged steaks and fish prepares you with a sneak peak. The menu shows obsessive commitment to quality ingredients, cooking processes and integrity. We indulged in the tuna tartare, crispy fried lobster, and the Dover sole deboned and served tableside. The attention to detail is evident in every single aspect of this dining experience.

Over the top excellent food and wonderful service. We enjoyed Filet, New York Strip, swordfish, Bone Marrow short ribs, amazing hash browns, Mac and cheese, hash browns to die for, wedge salad, and amazing baked Alaska. We shared the above across our group of 8. Servers Benjamin and Eric, supported by Ledean are the best I've encountered in Michigan. Mike the Manager ensured all was magnificent with our dinner. I even met Jessica in the high class "Cash Only" downstairs bar, and Kevin and Sam in the world class meat locker. An incredibly great experience. Thank you Jeremy and Roger for making it all possible. Lots of superlatives here, but necessary, true and well earned. Thank you Prime and Proper.

Ive dined here so so much to the point the servers probably recognize my face. I personally will say this is the only place in Detroit that serves you good food that fits the price. Once you walk in, you are greeted by the great Gatsby aesthetic of gold trim and marble. The hostess is always very kind and accommodating. When you're seated, your waiter/waitress is there promptly and really sets a great vibe making this more of a dining experience more than just eating. They are fast clean and very knowledgeable of the food being served and have you any issue consider it fixed. The drinks are amazing, though i feel it may be time for something new. Each one is fit for different varieties of cocktail lovers (you can also ask for something off the menu) The food here is some of the best upscale dining in Detroit. They're ingredients are sourced fresh and they have their own dry aging room in the cellar (near the secret room). The steak here is close to perfect. Tender, well seasoned and complimented with amazing sauces. The scallops were fresh, juicy and packed with flavor and the oysters were no joke either. I have tried most of this menu and nothing has really disappointed. They deliver consistent quality food and service all the time but the real star of the show is that peanut butter pave dessert! That tasted like a the best peanut putter snack/dessert/ice cream cake all in one place i could eat a whole pie worth!

First time dining at P & P. From beginning to end, the experience was AMAZONG. Perfect amount of bread to enjoy before ordering their delicious items. I wish my appetite was huge so that I could have experienced a litte of everything. Jessica (server) provided a great first impression. She helped in selecting the red wine which would accompany my meal. Perhaps one of the most pleasant servers I've ever encountered. The wedge salad was perfect, prepared by another great server in Benjamin. Both Jessica and Benjamin handled all my requests and dining needs for the evening. The Brussel Sprouts were unique and utterly delicious! Never had them with chopped and sliced apples along with a unique vinaigrette accompanied by thick chopped pieces of bacon!! That could have easily been my entree and would have completely satisfied my dining experience. Thankfully, I plowed ahead with their amazing dry aged Filet Mignon. The 8 oz was perfectly prepared (medium). The post dinner coffee came in a personal size easy to serve coffee pot. Dessert was ordered to go (cheesecake) which was so good even the following day. Benjamin provided a great historical summary of the establishment. And Jessica, we'll she was just LOVELY throughout the entire dining experience, providing the dessert recommendation as well. I look forward to working in Detroit again so that I may repeat this amazing dining experience at Prime & Proper.

Well dang, I've never spent $400 on a meal for two but it was pretty easy to do here. Everything we ate was a perfect 5/5. Our main server was 5/5. She had a trainee with her who was like, 1/5. He led us astray on a few menu items and struck up some weird convos with weird questions. I normally wouldn't count that towards my review, but she sent him on his own several times instead of observing him or demonstrating for him. But the ACTUAL reason I'm going 4 stars, is because we found out after the third round of drinks that we were being charged $3 for each ice cube with the whiskey. We were upfront at the beginning that we didn't want to spend much on drinks and wanted to know how much we were spending per glass. Seeing that on the bill after we just spent $400 was an unpleasant surprise and should be built into the price of the drink. Also, some of the chairs have really high arms and I couldn't cut my steak easily because there was nowhere for my elbows to go.
