Best Date Night Restaurants in Independence

Went with a group of girlfriends after a chili night at the Detroit Zoo Lights. Love the holiday drinks and the food is always amazing. This time Ed had a vegan with us and she loved the variety on the menu. We will be back!

Really good dining experience we recommended to family and friends

Everything was flawless .. the service from the original reservation was perfect. I made the mistake of booking 1 day in advance only for a party of 1 and I called 2 hours prior to reservation and they were able to accommodate last minute. Valet parking was super easy. 15 dollars. We had zero wait for our table - we were right on time. Our servers were Julie and Armando - both very personable, and knowledgeable and attentive. I appreciate the way the servers push the upsells and recommend drinks back to back. The food was incredible - Caesar salads table side, shrimp diavolo, surf and turf, and lamb chops. All cooked perfectly and presented well. We both ordered 3 drinks a piece. Awesome drinks, unique and taste great. The owner/operator stopped at the table to make sure we were good, had a conversation with me and made us feel very welcome. They charge 20% for service as a policy - and I still tipped an additional 10% on the bill because the quality of service and food, and experience eclipsed price. Great job Sexy Steak

Nikki was great, we shared everything and it was amazing. Couple highlights, whatever burnt cheese, the buccatini, and they won’t stop talking about the saffron pasta we had. Lots of good places in Detroit, if this isn’t the best, it’s in the top two.

This restaurant was an absolute gem! The food was incredible—thoughtfully prepared, full of flavor, and beautifully presented. The quiet atmosphere made it perfect for an intimate meal or meaningful conversation. On top of that, the service was outstanding—attentive, friendly, and truly top-notch. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a flawless dining experience!
