Rank 42. Prime + Proper
Modern American Steakhouse
In a dramatically scaled downtown room of glass and marble, Prime + Proper builds its authority around USDA Prime beef and a dry-ageing program, then finishes each steak over open fire with discipline that matches the ambition of the space. The supporting cast of dishes, wine list, and service all move with the same polished coherence—steakhouse fundamentals executed with a modern eye.
