Sexy Steak of Detroit: Part 3 and The Grand Finale of Our Detroit Date Night
If you’ve been following along, you know our Detroit date night unfolded perfectly.
1. Part 1 was the dreamy, Candlelit concert at Christ Church Detroit— a romantic, intimate, and mesmerizing string quartet performance.
2. Part 2 was The Cochrane House Luxury Historic Inn, a bed and breakfast stay like no other.
3. And Part 3? Part 3 was bold, indulgent, sexy and delicious. Hands down the best dining experience of my life, and I've been lucky enough to have dined everywhere from the Caribbean to Europe and everywhere in between.
Enter: Sexy Steak Detroit.
First Impression:
As soon as you step inside you see it — that iconic neon sign glowing confidently:
“Detroit, you’re so sexy.”
It sets the tone and sums up what you're about to experience perfectly.
The space feels upscale but comfortable. Sexy but not intimidating. Moody lighting, stunning decor, and an atmosphere that feels intentional — like you’re about to have a moment, not just a meal. This wasn’t just dinner. This was an experience.
And then… the cocktails arrive.
OMG the cocktails. These cocktails ruined all other cocktails for me. Mouthwatering, well balanced and layered with flavors. These cocktails were the definition of "crafted cocktails." Thoughtfully designed with the freshest ingredients blended to perfection.
I ordered the Sophia Loren, and I swear I could taste every single layer — fresh-pressed grapefruit, lemon juice and a hint of cranberry perfectly balanced and bold. Nothing artificial, it was pure. Nothing masked. Just done absolutely right.
Kyle ordered their Margarita Italia. Tequila, fresh citrus, agave, mint leaves... omg every flavor was perfection. And it arrived to our table literally on fire.
Yes. On. Fire. 🔥
Now here’s the thing: I don't drink margaritas. I don’t even like tequila. But this? This margarita changed my mind. It was smooth, flavorful, fresh and genuinely the first tequila drink I’ve ever enjoyed. I never thought I'd see the day where I'd enjoy a margarita. Well, this was the day. Then came dinner.
The Steak: I’m Ruined Forever.
Wow. Just wow. I ordered the filet mignon. Kyle went with the New York strip. We shared the best carrots I've ever had. And the truffle fries? Well obviously. They're truffle fries. You can't go wrong. But these were the best.
I don’t eat at high-end restaurants every day, but lately I’ve been intentionally trying new, elevated dining experiences. As the owner of a wedding venue, whenever I go anywhere I'm studying the service, the cocktails, and of course the hospitality — because at Celestial Farms wedding venue, we want our couples and their guests to experience the very best.
And after visiting multiple incredible restaurants within the past few years I can confidently say this:
Sexy Steak is by far the best.

This steak literally melted in my mouth. It was perfect in a way that I didn't know existed. Every single bite.
Service That Felt Thoughtful and Sincere.
Our server-Henry, deserves his very own paragraph in this short story...
I'm not gonna lie I expected stiff, formal fine-dining energy — and instead, we got someone fun, warm, down-to-earth, and genuinely fun to talk to. He knew the menu, helped us pick the perfect combination of items, matched our energy, and made the night feel relaxed while still elevated which is rare.
Henry, if you’re reading this — you were fantastic.
The Knife, the Souvenir, and the Ink Pen Incident
If you know Kyle, you know that everywhere we travel he tries to get a souvenir. Not the kind you can buy at the souvenir shop. Something random. Sometimes it’s normal. Sometimes… it’s not.
Sexy Steak has custom steak knives that are engraved with “You’re so sexy.” Kyle immediately noticed and I knew he wanted one. We joked with Henry that we were going to steal it (we would never, relax 😅). Henry informed us that you could actually buy them— they come in a fancy box.
Sold.
We bought the knife. Like responsible adults.
Now… full disclosure — when Henry left the check at the table for us, we paid our bill and left a generous tip for the amazing service.
But Kyle did swipe the damn ink pen.😩 He really hoped Henry would notice later and have a good laugh.
So Henry… if you’re missing a pen — I’m sorry 😂
We do not condone stealing. We do condone great service and great humor. And I hope it makes Henry remember us like we remember him.
The Bathroom Deserves a Standing Ovation
Yes, the bathroom. Let’s talk about the women’s restroom for a second, because… what?!
It was frickin’ sexy.
My mentor Didi always tells us we have bathrooms that are too sexy and that's why wedding guests spend too much time in there. Now I see the concern. Took a bathroom selfie and immediately thought of her. She might be onto something. I mean look at this..
I've seen this mouth art above the red bathtub all over social media. And it was so much cooler in person. I could've stayed a while longer just to hang out. I kinda wished I had my makeup so I had an excuse to linger. Anyhow, It was the most fun pee break I’ve ever had.

The Perfect Ending to a Perfect Detroit Stay
Sexy Steak was the ultimate ending to our Detroit trip — a perfect part 3. A romantic getaway that began with candlelight and live music and ended with unforgettable cocktails.
This entire Detroit experience reminded me why romantic getaways near me don’t have to mean hopping on a plane. I’ve been there a trillion times for work, sports, business, and events. But this time was different. Detroit, you surprised me. I saw a beautiful and fun new side of you.
I could redo this exact date night — Candlelight concert, Cochrane House bed and breakfast stay, and Sexy Steak dinner — over and over again for the rest of my life and not get sick of it.
Thank you, Detroit, for showing me a side of you I’ll never forget.
You really are so sexy.
