What can I say... this place is tops! I highly recommend for the food and atmosphere! Every thing is top! From walking in, to the service, to the food and the vibe! I had the filet mignon with their whipped horseradish sauce and it was by far the best I ever had! Like everything was phenomenal! Our waiter, Thair was awesome and went above and beyond! I definitely will come back and I highly highly recommend this place!

My husband and I dined here for our 11 year anniversary and it was ridiculously good! We ordered the bone marrow and grilled octopus. We split a steak but I didn't get a photo before it was devoured lol the atmosphere was elegant but relaxing and not too snooty. I would definitely recommend this place to splurge on a special occasion.

The food is amazing and the staff is incredible. I can't recommend it enough! This will be my first stop every time I come to Detroit.

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!

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.

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!
