Their steaks are sexy

Sexy Steak, Detroit’s newest Italian steakhouse, is now open on the first and second floors of the historic Grand Army of the Republic (GAR) Building, with a new private event space, Castle Hall, also opening on the third and fourth floors of the building. The restaurant is the latest concept from Prime Concepts Detroit, which also operates Aurora Italiana, NARA Sushi & Hibachi Lounge, Prime29 Steakhouse, PAO Detroit, and Tribu Mediterranean at the Wabeek Club in Bloomfield Hills. Sexy Steak features a traditional Italian steakhouse menu with modern influences as well as an oyster bar, all created by the Prime Concepts Detroit culinary team, with fresh pasta, veal and seafood dishes that include lobster scampi, dover sole and, of course, USDA prime steaks. A highlight of the dining room is a Himalayan salt-lined case that showcases premium cuts of beef, which guests can peruse and then personally select their cut. In addition to a 4,000-square-foot main floor dining room that seats 120 guests, the restaurant offers a second floor, 3,000-square-foot dining and lounge space, The Centurion Room, with seating for up to 100 guests, with an additional 12-seat bar. “Guests will have their senses ignited from the moment they walk in – from the sculptures they see, the music they hear, the aromas they smell, and the flavors they taste,” said Stolion Liti, managing partner and director of operations for Prime Concepts Detroit. “We look forward to sharing many memorable evenings with metro-Detroiters for years to come.” Designed in partnership with Royal Oak-based Art Harrison Interiors and the Barbat Holdings development team, much of the building’s rich historical elements were maintained, such as all of the original windows, staircase details and tile flooring at the entrance, while also restoring all wood flooring and exposing original brick walls in the event spaces. 1942 Grand River Avenue, Detroit  sexysteakdetroit.com
