Prime 10 — Restaurant in Southfield

Most people think that small towns in the USA can’t have high class steakhouses that rival NYC, LA and other mega cities. While Detroit, MI is not a small town, there is pretty much one kosher grocery, one bakery and one pizza shop. Could they possibly have a high class steakhouse? The answer is yes, Prime 10. On a recent visit, we checked out this steakhouse to see what they had to offer. As you enter, you are surprised by a quite modern interior, full bar and tiled ceiling. Each sitting area is cordoned off with billowing fabric, creating a private capsule/ enclave of sorts.

After browsing the menu, which boasts an extensive wine and drink menu, we decided on appetizers of the Brisket Flatbread, Cauliflower Tempura and Fire Fries. The Brisket Flatbread consisted of pulled brisket over roasted garlic aioli, on top of naan bread and finished with fresh tomato, sautéed onions, peppers and a signature ranch sauce. The naan was perfect and a great vehicle to showcase all that pulled brisket, which was soft and flavorful. The Cauliflower Tempura consisted of tempura battered cauliflower florets served with spicy mayo sauce. Everyone I know loves cauliflower. The florets were crunchy and sweet and that spicy mayo was a great way to up the heat. Last time we visited Prime 10 we had the loaded fries, so this time we tried the Fire Fries, which consisted of crispy seasoned fries topped with tender strips of steak, spicy mayo, cream ranch dressing and jalapeno slices. These went the fastest. Steak and fries in the same dish topped with spicy mayo, cream ranch dressing and jalapeno slices? We were in food heaven. Needless to say there were no leftovers.

During our last visit, I tried the Executive Steak which was a delicious boneless 16 oz. ribeye, so this time we tried the Tomahawk bone in Ribeye. In addition, we also tried the BBQ Beef Ribs and a Caesar Salad with Grilled Chicken. The steak was perfectly cooked and sliced by their chef. The BBQ Beef Ribs smelled divine and were slow cooked for eight hours with a hint of hickory and glazed with their in house BBQ sauce. It was paired with mashed potatoes topped with sautéed onions. These were fall of the bone soft and oh so good. Trying the healthier option of a salad and grilled chicken was great. I really enjoyed the dressing and the chicken was really moist. It was a perfect meal. We didn’t even try any desserts because we were so full from the large portions of delicious food.

I give the food 2/3 Stars. Texas Roadhouse has equivalently good steak cuts. However, after eating we went outside to enjoy the "semi live" music. (1 guy with a guitar, and the rest is computer-app generated) I even excused that, and tried to make the best of it, because it was my birthday and the solo musician played with loads of effort. Nicw Guy!😊 The outdoor patio lacks luster, with the green porch carpet, small-basic outdoor patio furniture nestled behind a strip mall. I pulled out my vape pen (non-THC) and a lady server preceded to tell me that it's illegal. So I asked that she produce that in writing, especially since we're outdoors? She could not because it isn't true. My husband was so DISTURBED after spending $200 that they'd have the nerve to address this. We were off to ourselves, absolutely NO ONE in the area that could be possibly disturbed. So that made it blatantly personal. I will NEVER patronize this place again, and any policy effecting the public should be posted. Sexondly, educate your ditzy server on the difference between preference and illegal, so that she can use correct terminology when speaking on your behalf. THANKS PRIME 10 for ruining My birthday! You'll NEVER get another opportunity from my...

A poor experience time after time. When dining in the main restaurant, it ranges from hair in the burgers to insanely slow service to mistaken orders. The food is wildly overpriced and is rarely any good. Steaks aren't cooked to order, the mushrooms taste like they come from a can, the vegetables are generally soggy. Overall, it is impossible to justify the price for this low caliber of food.

When dining in the Foundation Room, one single server was tasked with catering an entire event of nearly 50 people. Predictably, the service was slow and spotty, with long waits for food or refills of water. The salad must have been dressed hours before the event, as the lettuce was one large mush and the plate was swimming in dressing. The chicken was dry and the vegetables were somehow simultaneously undercooked and soggy. Oh, and when dessert came out, no utensils were provided for eating the fruit.

It's tragic that a restaurant with such an exorbitant price tag provides such a poor eating experience. The quality of the food needs to rise drastically for Prime 10 to be worth anyone's...
