Staff was sooooo nice. Definitely how I expect customer service to be!! Beautiful decore inside and out. The vibe was everything I wanted it to be. The food was flavorful and delicious and so was the drinks. I will definitely revisit.

Rigatoni
Jeff L.

Service was flat and non existent, was like we were a burden to the waitress, who definitely had zero personality or care for her diners. The inside was decent, but nothing to say, damn I need to come back here. The short ribs were fatty, although cooked well, tender and very good, just a little skimpy on the portion. The cheddar risotto was very good. The rigatoni was simply a garlic bomb, not much to taste except the overwhelming pungent garlic taste. Another disappointment was the 3% technology fee - WTF? 80 bucks for two enters sans adult beverages and you need to add more to the bill - without mentioning this on the menu - definitely unbaked for. Service, technology fee and underwhelming food means I would not recommend this place to anyone.

Presley's is a restaurant that's part of the Hotel David Whitney. I would never have known it was there if not for Yelp. Thank you Yelp. Valet parking is available as part of the hotel for $15. Once you walk in the hotel's entrance, don't be surprised if you stop and stare a bit. This is a beautiful, old school lobby. It took a moment for the servers to figure out which one of them was going to wait on us, but after that, it was smooth sailing. My wife's hot honey crispy chicken sandwich was served with a sriracha aïoli, which it only needs if you want extra heat, or if you're like me and you like dipping everything. The sandwich itself wasn't particularly spicy, but it didn't need to be. The sauce meant that it wasn't crispy, but it was so delicious that it hardly mattered. This is a good-sized sandwich, large enough that my wife couldn't finish it. Woo hoo... More for me! Both of us opted to pay the extra $1 to replace chips with crispy fries. Excellent decision. Most French dips that I've had have been something akin to an Arby's sandwich with watgravy. Don't get me wrong. I like Arby's, but I don't want to spend fine dining prices for Arby's. This is a cut above French dips you've likely had before. This is thickly cut steak with real beefy flavor. But, you will want to use this dip. It's gloriously clouded with herbs and chopped onion. And, I could have eaten the bread by itself, too. It's a hearty Dutch cheddar bread. It all came together beautifully. I wanted to savor her every bite, but my appetite got the better of me. I just spent two paragraphs talking about a sandwich. Now that's love. We seriously didn't know the price point here. For some reason, my Yelp isn't showing me dollar ratings. This is definitely a $$$ restaurant. I would love to take my wife back here again for a special occasion. But, I was happy that we got phenomenal food that also filled us up for about $50.

I was recommended to Presley's by a coworker, she raved about this restaurant and said they had a great brunch that they make homemade pop tarts and cinnamon rolls. My friend and I decided to give this place to try before the Tigers game and I would say it lived up to the hype. It sits on the corner of Park Street and Woodward, a very convenient walk before the Tigers baseball game. Plenty of parking in the surrounding area from structures lots to street parking. The restaurant is cute nicely with a modern feel for decore. For being a nice size restaurant, it was interesting because they're very limited bathrooms inside the restaurant; however, it's attached to a hotel in which there's more restrooms within the hotel lobby. But you can easily look past this but do note there are options. In the customer service was very efficient, on arrival we were seated promptly with the host, they had multiple host available for this Saturday morning. I can easily see if you came at primetime for breakfast. You would most likely have a wait. Our waitress had wonderful recommendations from drinks to breakfast option to pastries-- I wish I remembered her name, but I would say her favorites are my favorites too (HA!). I started with a breakfast spritz-- with that fig gin and elderflower, it was like having a french 75 for breakfast with a twist! I followed with the garden and goat omelette, this was cooked to perfection. We also had the two egg breakfast at the table. Both had nice presentations. The breakfast potatoes were good. They're the small potatoes versus the shredded- thankfully! The bread I am interested to know if they make this in house as it was really good and I meant to inquire-next time. I tried the chicken sausage on the side, that I could take it or leave it. They were sold out of the pop tarts by 10 o'clock in the morning. The cinnamon buns looked amazing. I didn't try as I was heading to the Tigers game and I didn't want to bring it back to the car, etc. There were no disappointments on our brunch place. I will look forward to coming back to Presley's in the near future.

Avocado toast
Gaston N.

I checked out Presleys for a late Monday morning breakfast and there weren't a lot of folks there but it was a nice looking place on the first floor of a hotel. The food I had was pretty good including the cinnamon roll and the avocado toast. The servers were nice as well, this is a decent breakfast spot if you're close by the stadiums downtown.

Homemade Poptart
Jose F.

Really nice spot, tons of natural light coming in. Service was on point, the waitresses kept coming by to check if we needed anything, which I appreciate. We went early in the week so it wasn't busy at all. I got the steak and eggs, a 5oz steak with sunny side eggs, potatoes and toast. I asked them to make the potatoes crispier and they did exactly that. The steak was cooked to the right temp and the eggs had the right consistency for sunny side. No complaints. I came with two friends so we shared everything. The homemade poptarts we all agreed on, not great but not bad, just wouldn't order them again. The real star is the fluffy pancakes. Just the right amount of fluffy, and the whipped cream had us guessing what was in it. It's lemon, which is actually on the menu, and it's a good touch. The hanger steak was my 2nd favorite. The kimchi, fried rice and sunny side eggs sound all over the place but it all came together and tasted really good. One friend got the stuffed french toast. I'm not a french toast guy, it's usually a soggy mess, but the hazelnut cream on this one was something different that I actually liked. I also had the morning blend juice, apple, carrot and ginger. Nothing special but it was delicious. Heads up it's pricey, expect to spend over $100 between three people. Still, would definitely come again, we might even come back for the dinner menu. My go-to would be the pancakes to share since I'm a classic breakfast person, then add the 2 egg breakfast, eggs your style, with bacon, sausage and potatoes. Drizzle some sriracha on it and you've got a solid brunch.

Chocolate chip cookies

Presley's Kitchen + Bar is truly a standout for anyone looking for a sophisticated yet approachable meal in Detroit. For a solo traveler heading to the airport, the bar seating provides the perfect vantage point to appreciate the fast-paced, efficient service without feeling rushed. Garden and Goat Omelette: This is where the kitchen shines. The combination of creamy goat cheese layered within and sprinkled on top creates a rich texture that complements the savory, sautéed vegetables. The "fluffiness" of the eggs suggests a high level of technical skill behind the line. While the breakfast potatoes are a standard reliable staple, the fresh toast and house jam are the hidden stars, providing a sweet, crisp contrast to the savory omelette. The Atmosphere & Service The staff behind the counter manages the Saturday rush with impressive speed, maintaining a friendly demeanor that makes a solo visit feel intentional rather than just a quick stop. It has that classic Detroit energy--polished but grounded. The "Extra Mile" Touch What really sets this place apart is the hospitality. While lingering over coffee refills before heading to the airport, the staff surprised me with a thank-you bag containing two delicious chocolate chip cookies. It's a thoughtful, high-class gesture that proves they truly understand customer care and the art of the "parting gift." Pro Tip: The Latte Situation If you are used to a larger "Venti" style coffee, the lattes here may seem petite as they are served in traditional, smaller cups. The simple fix? Order two. The quality of the espresso is worth the double order, and it allows you to linger a bit longer before catching your flight.

Situated in the David Whitney hotel as one of its two bars and definitely it restaurant, Presley's Kitchen & Bar is a great bar to hit up before and after pretty much anything downtown. This is often where I stop walking back to the shuttle from the Lions games and I've never had a bad experience. Walking in from the Woodward side, you are immediately noticing the large modern bar in the center of the restaurant. Aesthetically, Leather seated booth and bar seats mimic the elegance the lobby of the hotel presents, but in a cleaner, leaner model. Being a more cocktail forward bar/restaurant the prices tend to run probably a little higher than typical for these similar items, but the quality and flavors that go into each item is noticeable. I will say, the time I was here for Happy Hour, it was one heck of a deal. Can get a double smashburger and beer for like $20. The food itself is good if not anything that might wow you. You are pretty much guaranteed a solid meal. Service here has always been friendly, but efficiency can be sporadic depending on how busy it is. I would suggest you get your food order ready by the time they ask for your drink order because it might be a while before they come back around. But honestly, expect for that hiccup it's always been a good expererience, although nothing I would go out of my way to get to.

PK Chicken Tender Platter
Michael A.

Presley's Kitchen and Bar is a great restaurant bar connected to the David Whitney Hotel. We grabbed seats at the bar and ordered a couple appetizers to share, which turned out to be the perfect move. The spinach, artichoke, and feta dip was served hot and came with warm tortilla chips. When we were down to the last bit of dip, the bartender even brought us a few extra chips so we could finish it off -- a small touch that didn't go unnoticed. We also ordered the PK chicken tender platter, which was perfect for sharing and really hit the spot. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and what stood out most was that they remembered our names when we walked by the next day. It's little things like that that make a place memorable. Definitely more than just a typical hotel restaurant.

I think my expectations were too high for this place. I've been twice now and the service is not it.. always slow and have an "I don't care" attitude. The interior feels a little cheaply made, but this is also a hotel restaurant so that's to be expected sometimes. The food wasn't bad but it took forever to arrive and wasn't amazing for the cost. I don't know I guess I'm just disappointed with this spot. I'm glad some people like it and I do appreciate that they are open before the work day for breakfast!

Immediately the experience wasn't great the but the manager is amazing and redeemed the experience. Our server didn't bring one of our meals out, fries were cold and drinks were wrong. But the manager fixed all of this. We ordered Caesar salads with salmon,truffle fries, burrata, the purse with wine, and a rock and rye old fashioned. All of the food was amazing 10/10. The manager also brought us out a carrot cake which was the best I ever had. We sat outside because it was a nice day and it was fun enjoying the busy street. I will give this place another shot for sure.

Lobster roll
Whitnee D.

First thing I noticed was how beautifully laid out the restaurant was and how friendly the staff were from the moment we arrived. Our waitress was extremely knowledgeable about the menu and offered great recommendations. The Elvis French toast was excellent. It was the perfect sweet treat without being overly sweet. I also enjoyed the lobster roll, which was served on a delicious rendition of Texas toast. I typically do not eat cold lobster rolls, and they were happy to warm it for me. My friend ordered the salmon bowl and really enjoyed it as well. There was a small glitch with our order, but the service truly stood out. Our waitress remained extremely attentive, and the manager took time to personally check on us multiple times to make sure everything was made right. We truly appreciated the level of care and attentiveness shown throughout our visit.

My group and I recently dined at Presley's before heading to a concert at Little Caesars Arena, and the location was absolutely perfect for a stress-free pre-show meal. The restaurant itself was cute and inviting, and we loved that it was situated within a nice hotel that boasted lovely holiday decor, which really added a festive touch to our evening! We started with the shared Street Corn Dip, and it was a great choice! It was tasty, and the accompanying tortilla chips tasted noticeably fresh, which we appreciated. For my main course, I ordered the Lobster Roll, and it was the star of the evening--truly very, very good. The lobster was the best thing I ate, and the presentation was excellent (it even had a nice piece of lobster meat on top!). The fries served alongside it were decent. For drinks, I enjoyed a split of La Marca Prosecco, which was delightful. My friends who ordered cocktails found them to be a little on the sweet side, but I certainly enjoyed my Prosecco selection. Finally, the service was speedy and efficient, which is exactly what you need when you have concert timelines to meet. Presley's Kitchen and Bar offers a great downtown dining option, especially if you're looking for a quick, convenient, and well-decorated spot before an event at LCA. Highly recommend the Lobster Roll!

Had such an amazing experience at Standby!! The food and especially the drinks were outstanding…read more The cocktail menu was organized into three parts: Opening, Principals, and Finish. The theme was "Yes, Chef: An exploration of culinary icons through a cocktail lens." Each drink was inspired by or dedicated to a famous culinary icon, and you can read about each one in the index. We each ordered one drink from each section. From the Opening, I chose the Diaspora Club, which was so refreshing and delicious. Then from the Principals, I chose the Chingona, which was a little bit spicy and savory but still so refreshing. To Finish, I chose the Chocolatier Cosmo, which came with a tiny house-made salted dark chocolate. I loved all three cocktails I ordered, especially the chocolatier cosmo because it was perfectly sweet and went so well with the small piece of chocolate. For food, we started off with the crispy pork belly milk bread. For my entree, I ordered the miso butter gnocchi. It was kind of on the salty side but I still really liked it. The apple sofrito added a bit of sweetness to it. For dessert, we had to get the rhubarb coffee cake, which came with strawberry ice cream. Omg one of the best desserts I've ever had!! I never thought of combining cinnamon coffee cake with rhubarb or strawberry but it's perfect, and I might have to make something like that soon. Service was great and we were seated right away at 8pm on a Saturday despite not having a reservation. Food and drinks came out promptly and timed perfectly. We spent about 1.5 hours here and we never felt rushed.

The pork belly on toast and roasted carrots were absolutely delicious. About the drinks, these bartenders know their stuff. I ordered a late 1800s gin drink called the Clover Club and he knew right away what it was and made it perfectly. The guy had skills behind the bar and showed some flair making drinks. The vibe was super chill and relaxed with good music gently played in the background. Highly recommended this spot if you're in Detroit.

The restaurant was getting full by 6pm, so having a reservation is probably best. We finally got a chance to eat here and decided on the Tasting Menu ($95/pp, the whole table has to have it) because a lot of the dishes were items we were already looking at. We started off with some drinks, all the drinks were well balanced and not too sweet-perfect. For Tequila: Good Behavior & (Mezcal): Better Off Red were super delicious. Note for the tasting menu (for the 2 of us), they plated 1 dish per course so just note that you do not each get a separate plate so I'm assuming the portions are double (although I wonder what they do for a single person and the whole trout...). I guess it's nice to share a plate so my hubby could enjoy more food but seems like a lot of plates and silverware getting used/changed with each course so it makes me wonder why each person doesn't just get their own portion. Anyway, first course: I don't really like scallops, but these scallops was cool, refreshing with a very mild scallop flavor so I really enjoyed it! Second: tomato tart with goat cheese +heirloom tomatoes salad (very good), Third: Ricotta Gnocchi (YUM), a lot of pancetta pieces, Fourth: Whole trout (the chef removed 95% of the bones, yay, loved that. It was pretty mild taste which was overall good, I liked all the different mushrooms that came with it & Last: Banana Split- feels healthy with the banana there and wow, the cherries look like Luxardo ones. Honestly, this was a good amount of food (I wasn't overly stuffed thankfully but full). I would definitely recommend the Tasting Menu (note, no modifications/subs allowed) and was glad we ordered it. The pacing was not hurried (we were not in a rush), but they can definitely accommodate (bring 2 courses out at a time), if you need to be somewhere by a certain time for a show or game. They also have a free parking lot (fenced in)! We will most definitely be back, it was an amazing night at Bar Pigalle!

I absolutely love this place! The food was delicious across the board. The butter had a wonderful…read moresweet and spicy kick, and the salad was incredibly fresh and light. Both the steak and fries were cooked to absolute perfection, as was the gnocchi. To top it all off, our server was wonderful. Highly recommend They did provide a sweet birthday crème brûlée!
