I visited Prime and Proper in March of 2022. I had a perfectly lovely time and felt like fine dining was back, after a long hiatus for the pandemic. Unfortunately, something happened between March and June. The experience changed enough for me to not want to return. It has been my experience that when a restaurant changes like this, the future is not bright. From the start, the evening was off. Simple requests for a glass of club soda seemed like afterthoughts. As a matter of fact, just about everything was an afterthought that night. Instead of being presented with a cheerful crew who was going to be handling our table, the only constant was the one server who handled taking our orders. There wasn’t even a sommelier present! I get that COVID has made for absences among staff of all businesses, but the “keeper of the wine” is sort of an important station within any fine dining establishment. I figured there would be an associate level sommelier who would pick up the slack sometimes. Apparently that was not the case. Fast forward to our orders: they were not of the same caliber as my three other visits over the past five years. Me and my associate’s rib-eyes were lackluster, to say the least. I have an expectation for beef in the price point. There was very little marbling present. It looked more like a New York Strip than a rib eye! His wife’s filet was just wrong when it was presented to her. She did NOT ask for it butterflied. It was also well-done. She sent it back to have a new steak prepared. As for the sides, those were just awful. I have had the Mac n Cheese a number of times now. I’ve had boxed Mac that tasted better. The loaded beef fat potatoes were equally as unimpressive. The seasonings on basically everything were not of the same level as past visits. We also weren’t presented with any means to serve ourselves. It took flagging someone down to obtain spoons for each side dish. That’s just sad. My complaint about the dessert is that, well, you should have a dessert menu that transitions with the seasons!! Yes, always have a trusty chocolate dish. You should also be taking advantage of what is locally offered! NO peach cobbler, nothing to showcase anything that Michigan is known for. My peanut butter pavé was delicious, but again—I wish there had been something new to try. My associate’s chocolate cake was just meh. It was served with a very small amount of vanilla ice cream, when it needed much more to offset that flavor combination within the multiple layers of the cake. Our server tried, he really did! He was an experienced member of the restaurant industry, but this failed meal wasn’t all his fault. It seemed like there was a catastrophic breakdown of communication between the kitchen, the serving staff and even the host station. The side windows were tipped up to open up the restaurant. While I can see this being a great idea for lunch, I don’t agree with it for dinner. The posh exclusivity that I felt during past visits was gone with this open air experience. It also attracted a lot of people just walking by, and thus the bar was overstuff with too many people trying to dine there. In the past, the bar has seemed to be where one waits while one’s table is prepared—not a crowded pack of patrons in polo shirts and shorts. There were apologies by management and attempts to make things right, but it’s time to move to a new steak house. Luckily I think I have found one!!!
