Went here for my birthday, and immediately at the door, we were greeted with a warm, welcoming introduction and headed into the basement. Once we got there, we were helped to our table, which was at the center of the place with a great view of the piano player. We started with the Calamari and Pork Belly, which were easily the best I've had to date. The pork belly literally melted in my mouth, being so rich. I ordered the Australian NY Strip Waygu recommended by our server cooked med rare +, and it was the top 3 steak I've had. It literally melted and cooked excellently. The mac & cheese was good along with the mashed potatoes. The lamb chops and sauce my wife had in hers was flavor bomb. We had great service and ordered the apple pie cheesecake for dessert, and it was good just the crust was a bit hard from being refrigerated too long. Overall amazing and we will definitely be back!

The atmosphere was nice and the live jazz music in the background was amazing touch. The food and drinks was pretty decent. The Mac and cheese and fried Brussels sprouts were a bit disappointing. Service was slow but staff was friendly.

The atmosphere and service were great. Has an old mobster speakeasy vibe to it with live music. Food was top notch and flavors were on point. The portions are on the smaller side, but the ingredients definitely make up for it. Would definitely recommend!

By far the finest dining experience I’ve had. Went for my birthday and everything… the food, the service, the atmosphere and lounge music. Absolutely amazing. Worth every penny they charge. Definitely will be coming back.

Food = if you ever cooked a good steak in your life, you will always feel robbed going to a place that can't do it like you can and exactly how you want it. That being said, this place has good quality meat it's just hard for me to pay 100 plus for a steak. I can cook better at my house.. so if you're about that life, this place does just fine, but if you're like me, I'd rather heat up the grill even in the winter and do it myself.. I ordered the 14-ounce filet medium, and it came out rare. I didn't make a stink about it. I just ate it, but when I pay the price, I want it done perfectly. Service = was great even tho we came in with red wings jerseys on which there is a dress code. fyi, we were served and treated very well. Atmosphere = love the dark vibe and ambience however no music or anything was playing and you sit pretty close to people can be a bit awkward when your next to that super quiet couple that says nothing the entire meal. Need a bit louder music to drown out the library sound .. my reservation was 430, so maybe to early to put the music on ? End notes = I might return, but most likely not in my future. Really gotta blow my socks off to get me to come back these days. But I didn't hate. I gave them 4 stars to retain the prestigious reviews and quality meat options.

We recently dined at the London Chop House, and Brittany’s outstanding service made it an unforgettable experience! As a group from Spartan Carrier Group, we felt completely taken care of from start to finish. Brittany’s attention to detail and her knowledge of the menu elevated our evening. The oysters were amazing, and the king crab, Australian steak, and ahi tuna were all absolutely to die for! Her wine recommendations paired perfectly with each course, showcasing her expertise and adding a sophisticated touch to our meal. If you’re looking for an exceptional dining experience in Detroit, Brittany and the London Chop House are an unbeatable combination. Highly recommend!
