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. read more

We were in downtown and heard good things about the establishment. Reservations at 6pm on a Friday were not a problem on short notice and when we arrived we were greeted warmly by the host staff. We were given a corner booth right on Woodward with a view of Comerica Park. And although they weren't playing that evening, the streets were full of people enjoying what the city has to offer. We settled in for a round of craft cocktails and all of us enjoyed the creations. My wife had the last word and that's a pretty fun cocktail to have where you get a note from a previous guest and get to leave one for another. Our waitress was attentive as she could be based on what she had going on. For a starter, we tried the Brussel sprouts they were OK. For dinner I had the French dip sandwich and I enjoyed it. The dip wasn't too salty which I really appreciate. Everyone else enjoyed their meals too. We'd certainly come back. Thanks for a good experience. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Absolutely gorgeous venue and great place to get drinks and hang out. Unfortunately the shrimp tacos I got were very average, would not get again for the price. Tortilla chips were also a bit stale. Flour tortillas were also too thick and overpowered the shrimp. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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! read more

In the "D" for Maroon 5 concert at LCA tonite. Walking around the city seeing so much renewed life and activity. Decided to check out Presley's Kitchen & Bar for a cocktail. Great ambiance in this historic property, now a hotel and residences. Service was amazing from the minute we reached the door to our server at the bar. We only had cocktails but they were amazing. Definitely suggest checking them out. Ok so cocktail led to an appetizer......jalapeño Cornbread with whipped butter and local honey... yum read more

She was spot on; one everything she did for us. From prompt service to attention to details. She was great. The food was valentines specials. Unique and very tasty! The ambiance was very nice and clean. Although our table top was loose. It didn't hinder our experience too much. We'll come back another day. read more

Nice little spot along Woodward Ave in the Whitney building. Took some time to be seated for our reservation as it is very busy and packed. They only have one single stall bathroom for a 25+ table restaurant. The drinks and food were really good. Highly recommend the spice shawarma chicken (it's bone in). Our server was very nice and food and drinks were delivered in a somewhat timely manner. Recommend for a date night or small group gathering. read more

We went here for brunch ahead of a Saturday afternoon Tigers game. Fortunately, we arrived at the perfect time to secure an outdoor table, right along Woodward. Our server, Angelica, promptly greeted us and was an absolute delight throughout our entire dining experience. When we saw "homemade pop tarts" on the menu, we knew we had to give them a try. They were delicious and their only similarity to the pieces of cardboard called pop tarts that they sell in the grocery store was their name. We decided to split the breakfast sandwich and the garden & goat omelette. Both were good, although they were a bit bland. Definitely an enjoyable spot and I would go back again! read more

Came here Saturday morning for brunch around 11. We made a reservation and were seated quickly. The restaurant was pretty busy, it was a tigers game day and Father's Day weekend. We started with bloody Mary's which were very good! For brunch I got a crab cake and a side of bacon. My mom got the "aunt lo's biscuits and gravy" my crab cake was almost all crab and the garlic aioli it was served with was great. Bacon was cooked perfectly. The biscuits and gravy were also delicious. The biscuits were warm and fluffy, the gravy was very sausage heavy which was great! Overall a good spot to visit for breakfast / brunch read more

Visiting Detroit for the weekend! Researched a few spots to try on TikTok and Presley's was one option. Stopped in for lunch right after we landed. Hillary, our server was so pleasant and kind. It was pretty empty when we arrived but we did get there near opening time. The ambiance is ok - not too loud, simple decor. Overall I would rate the food about 6/10. We ordered both of the fresh pressed juices. They were served with lots of ice. Next time I would ask for no ice. The breakfast sandwich was messy to eat but my husband enjoyed it. The smash burger was average. We would probably return for drinks and small bites if in the area again! read more

I'm going to get the food. I have to mention the service 1st. Hands down the friendliest and attentive server I've ever encountered was a sweet young lady named Jermanie!!! Food was tasty. I enjoyed the seasonal pop tart option over the standard Wild berry only because of the seeds. The cornbread =fire. The breakfast sandwich was great ( could have used a 3rd piece of bacon. The goat cheese omelette was really tasty. Get the mimosa flight. I would absolutely return again....bonus if I get placed in Jermanie section. read more

Presley's is following Detroit's new restaurant formula -- the decor is light, airy, modern trying to connect with the space it's in. The eggs were silky and the Benedict sauce was good, wishing it was a little more acidic to help break up the fattiness of the dish. The crab cakes were ok - I wish they were more crab. The star of the plate surprisingly was that well dressed side arugula salad which had a stunning freshness to it. The staff was good, but I did go when they had just opened so I think they were still sorting things out. read more

The food was really good! Everyone at my table liked their meal. It was reasonably priced for brunch.

a must-visit for brunch lovers! I had the Mimosa Kit which came with a full bottle of champagne and three juice options--perfect for mixing. I also tried the Dequindre Cut (a refreshing vodka cocktail) and Up in Smoke (a tequila drink with a smoky twist). For food, I got the Traditional Breakfast with an over-easy egg, sausage, crispy potatoes, and fluffy pancakes--everything was cooked perfectly. I also tried the French Dip, which was actually a sandwich served with au jus. Not what I expected, but still packed with flavor! The service was excellent and the playlist was top-tier--definitely a spot I'd revisit! read more

Really disappointing... The first time I went was for a Friday lunch and had amazing service and food. This time was for early Saturday dinner. It was packed; they had tons of staff yet it felt very disorganized. We had to ask 2 managers before we got a server ( after sitting for 15 minutes without being acknowledged). When we did get a server he was very nice. But I spent $17 on an old-fashioned. I didn't drink it because it tasted awful. I moved it to the side of the table to indicate I clearly didn't want it. And I ordered another drink. The server didn't even ask why I wasn't drinking a $17 drink. I don't believe in returning alcoholic beverages so I did not say anything. I just think server should ask when people order things barely touch them. The brussels sprout appetizer was very tasty. I was very disappointed with the lobster pasta. It was barely above room temperature and just had a real thick sauce that was not appealing. My daughter was not impressed with her salmon bowl. What seemed to be coming out of the kitchen over and over, because my seats were directly across from the kitchen, were burgers and chicken sandwiches. So I would stick with that. The first time I was there I had the chicken sandwich and it was very tasty. read more

Jermaine served us and she had a great attitude and was amazing funny, and the food was great definitely would come here again.

This is a beautiful new restaurant in the David Whitney building - beautiful green tile, tan leather booths, a very nice atmosphere. We were greeted and seated right away and service was excellent. They have great coffee, and I had a very nice decaf latte in a lovely light green mug. I HIGHLY recommend their homemade pop tarts - they're awesome! Homemade super flaky buttery pie crust encasing wild berry filling, and the special flavor this season - pumpkin spice. Both were sweet and buttery and delicious. Topped with homemade buttercream frosting and sprinkles, what's not to love? They have a very nice menu with a little bit of everything for breakfast and lunch. Crab cake Benedict, steak and eggs, sandwiches, a lobster roll, a couple of salads, chicken tortilla soup - all sounds good. I had the steak and eggs, and although everything needed salt, the steak, eggs and potatoes were cooked perfectly and the chimichuri sauce was herby and garlicy. I tried my friend's fries and they were fresh and delicious. I'd for sure return. read more

My sister and I took our mom to Presley's for their Mother's Day brunch, and it was definitely a lovely experience from start to finish. We kicked things off with some much-needed caffeine. My sister had a vanilla latte, I went with a vanilla caramel latte, and our mom kept it simple with a regular coffee. Before we even made it to the buffet, someone came by to take an instant photo of the three of us, and we were each given a rose--such a thoughtful touch that really made it feel special. There was a table full of fresh fruit, muffins, and pastries before the main buffet, which had all the brunch essentials: scrambled eggs, sausage, bacon, French toast, waffles, creamy white mac & cheese, and more. The real stars were the prime rib, cooked perfectly and served with rich au jus, and the crispy breaded shrimp. The build-your-own parfait bar was a favorite--we piled on fresh berries, granola, and a delicious raspberry drizzle. And for dessert, there were mini cheesecakes and brownies to finish things off. The ambience was beautiful--bright, sunny, and open, with high ceilings and a light, airy feel. Our waitress was super friendly and even got us coffees to-go, which was a nice extra. They did offer endless mimosas as an add-on, but we opted out and stuck with our coffee. However, my sister did mention that for $75 per person, she would have liked to see at least one mimosa included, especially since no drinks were part of the brunch price. The cost felt reasonable with the prime rib and seafood, but without those upgrades, it might not have seemed as worth it. One thing to note--the restroom isn't inside the restaurant, since Presley's is located in a hotel. You'll have to walk across the hall to find it. read more

Great food! We had the goat cheese omelette and pancakes, both were perfectly cooked and delicious. I really loved the vibe, good music and nice warm atmosphere. We were seated quickly because of our reservations but, due to an extremely long wait for food I cannot give 5 stars. We were compensated due to a Tiger & Piston game happening the kitchen was most likely overwhelmed. So, I look for to a better experience next time, overall, really good tho. read more

We got a chance to try Presley's for brunch and we love the inside! Super cozy & modern, the Elote corn dip was amazing and super flavorful...that was first thing we ordered. I also ordered lemon blueberry pancakes, and the amount of blueberry to lemon ratio was perfect and the flavor was light and not artificial or overwhelming. My friend ordered the breakfast sandwich that came on a brioche bun and you can't go wrong with a breky sando! The service overall was choppy but we just assumed they were under staffed.

We really loved the atmosphere of the restaurant very chic and upbeat. Our server was really great, and was warm and welcoming. We felt that the food, though delicious, was not worth the cost. We got the street corn dip, truffle fries, steak frites, and salmon bowl. Nothing was particularly bad, but also only slightly elevated. The happy hour menu is lacking, and it's not noted on the website that it's "bar only." read more

Nice place in a great location to downtown and all of the sports arenas. All that said how hard is it to get it right? We don't ask for much, just good food reasonable price and decent service. With Presley's it appears they want to be a higher end restaurant at least their decor, service and pricing reflects that. But it's about the basics for me, the #1 golden rule is never serve the main course ahead of the appetizer. Total drag that our food showed up before the appetizer. This should never happen, the good news is it saved us $22 on a $100 bill. Oh and that was for a margarita, 2 gin and tonics, a hamburger and chicken sandwich. We really thought this would have a better deal than eating at Comerica Park. Totally need to step up your game, service was ok all be it a little scripted. We'll give this another try...maybe the opening day brunch buffet, it was pretty good read more

I absolutely love the atmosphere, it is beautifully appointed with green, gold and subtle floral hues. The food is flavorful, not overly seasoned and def not bland. The staff were attentive but not overly engaged. We went for brunch and I'll be back for lunch or dinner because the drink menu looks delectable. And if I come back for brunch I'll try to mimosas.

My boyfriend and i came here for a post valentine's day brunch and it was everything we hoped for!! We discovered the post from a fb reel and had to come try it out!! Our server Angelica was so helpful when it came time to deciding on a cocktail, and was attentive despite how busy the restaurant was! The interior was so clean and well managed, it was a cozy chic atmosphere. I can't say enough good things about the food! The corn dip was so good and had the perfect amount of heat. I had the french dip and upgraded to truffle fries which might be some of the best i've ever had, they were so minimal yet packed so much flavor. We ended our brunch when the homemade poptarts (seasonal flavor was chocolate) and they were TO DIE FOR!!! (need to come back to try other flavors in the coming seasons) I'm so glad we came here and i can't wait to tell others all about it! Happy Valentine's day! read more

Food 4/5 I love most lavender drinks, so naturally I ordered the Lavender Bubbles cocktail--it's a winner. As for food, my friend raved about the mushroom risotto, and I quickly understood why--the ideal pairing all the ingredients and it has a cheesy consistency. The chicken tortilla soup was far from spectacular and I'll pass on this the next time. Service 3/5 We were staying at the David Whitney Hotel adjacent to this restaurant, so we stopped in for a cocktail and small bites before taking on the city. Our experience Thursday evening was great seated at the bar. Upon returning the following day for late lunch we were basically turned away by the hostess, who initially asked us if we had reservations (we did not). My friend saw there were multiple reservations in Open Table, so she opted to formally make one since it was asked of us. The hostess then told us that the kitchen was behind and we would be waiting a long time for food; she essentially was coaxing us to leave the restaurant. This was not hospitable by any means, and made us patrons feel as if she didn't want us to dine in. We left. The hostess could use some more training with interfacing with the restaurants customers. Ambiance 5/5 Decor and ambiance is aesthetically pleasing. read more

Stopped in while walking around. Cheerful, professional staff. Our waiter was attentive and fun. Ordered the lobster roll with fries.
