5 /5 James Durago: Prime + Proper deserves every bit of its reputation. We dined in the dining room and the whole experience felt polished from start to finish—great energy, upscale vibe, and a team that runs service with precision.
The food is the star. The steaks came out with a beautiful crust and a perfect medium-rare center, packed with flavor (the bone-in cut was especially memorable). The roasted bone + herb relish starter with grilled bread and citrus was bold, decadent, and ideal for sharing. Sides were excellent too—the creamy baked mac & cheese is pure comfort, the crispy potatoes were addictive, and the Brussels sprouts dish was bright and well-balanced.
If you’re looking for a top-tier Detroit steakhouse for a date night or celebration, this is it. Expensive, but the quality and execution make it worth it.
