Is the most expensive Steakhouse in Detroit Downtown good

London Chop House | Detroit Downtown’s Priciest Steakhouse – Worth Every Penny! Let me cut to the chase: this is hands down the BEST steak I’ve had in Michigan (personal opinion, but it crushes most fine dining steaks—and even beats Morton’s Steakhouse! I haven’t tried New York’s Peter Luger yet, though). The food quality is top-tier, service is stellar… the only downsides? Steaks start at $100 a pop, and the wait for food is a bit long. But honestly? It’s hard to complain when everything tastes this good 😋! 🦀 Appetizers: Small Portions, Big Flavors Don’t let the small sizes fool you—these apps are packed with precision and creativity, in the best “simple but delicious” way! Crab Cake: Fresh, lump crab meat with minimal filler—you can taste the seafood front and center, no overpowering seasonings. Steak Tartare: I’ve had this dish a million times, but London Chop House’s version still felt fresh and exciting. The meat was perfectly chopped, seasoned just right, and had that bright, lively kick you want from tartare. Even the complimentary bread felt thoughtful! It came warm (like, just-out-of-the-oven warm) with two options: a crusty baguette and a softer, seed-topped loaf. Crispy, fluffy, and so good we ate every crumb before the mains even arrived 🥐! ❌ The Only Letdown: Lobster Curry Bisque One of the daily specials, and it was a miss. The lobster flavor was faint, the curry was muddled, and it just felt underwhelming compared to everything else. Save your money—skip this one! 🥩 Steaks: Absolute Perfection (No Exaggeration!) This is where London Chop House blows every other steakhouse out of the water. I was genuinely shocked by how good these were—total “wow” moment! Australian Wagyu New York Strip (Medium Rare): I’ve never had a “good” NY strip at a steakhouse… until now. The cut was cooked to perfect medium rare—bright pink center, no gray edges—with a crispy black pepper crust that had a subtle smoky note (no burnt bitterness at all!). It was juicy, tender, with just the right amount of chew, and the fat was distributed perfectly—no greasy bites, just rich, beefy flavor. I can’t even put into words how this was! US Boneless Dry-Aged Ribeye (Medium): Equally incredible! Even though it’s a ribeye, there was no overpowering fatty “eye” center—just melt-in-your-mouth meat with a unique, nutty, fermented flavor from the dry aging. It was oily in the best way—rich but never heavy. We paired them with chimichurri and classic peppercorn sauce—both were solid, but honestly? The steaks were so good they barely needed the extra flavor! 💰 Final Thoughts We didn’t order drinks, and the bill came out to over $150 per person—definitely splurgy. But here’s the thing: it’s worth it. The quality, the service, the “I’ll be thinking about this for weeks” taste? I’ll absolutely be coming back. If you’re in Detroit and want to treat yourself to a steak that’ll set the bar for all future steaks? London Chop House is the spot. #RestaurantRecommendation #VibeRestaurant #SoDelicious #HiddenGemRestaurant #FoodCheckIn #WesternFood #Steakhouse #AnnArbor #MichiganFood #AnnArborLife #UniversityOfMichiganAnnArbor #MichiganLife #MichiganEats #AnnArborEats #AnnArborSurroundings #Detroit #DetroitFood #Steak
