Prime + Proper

A modern interpretation of the classic American steakhouse, emerging from the revival of Detroit with dedicated dry aging facilities, an open butchery, and a dramatic wood-fired cooking hearth.

Emerging from the revival of Detroit, Prime + Proper represents a fresh take on the timeless American Steakhouse. More than just a dining experience, Prime + Proper is a culinary journey where exceptional quality and craftmanship reign supreme. Nestled within the restaurant, dedicated dry aging and butchery facilities allow customers to select and age the finest cuts of meat to perfection from the jewelry-style humidity controlled display cases at the perimeter of the open kitchen. At the heart of the culinary experience lies a marvel of tradition and innovation—a large wood-fired cooking hearth. This centerpiece is not just a cooking apparatus; it's a tribute to the timeless art of open-flame cooking. With the hypnotic dance of flames and the enticing aroma of burning wood, it transforms every dish into a sensory masterpiece. Here chefs skillfully harness the power of fire to create dishes that celebrate the purity and simplicity of cooking over an open flame.
