Date Night in Troy, MI
Updated September 25, 2026
Troy has a genuine advantage for date night: two prime-steak-and-seafood rooms sit within a mile of each other in the Somerset District, both rated 4.6 on Google. You can build an entire evening around either without leaving the city.
[Eddie V's Prime Seafood](/places/eddie-v-s-prime-seafood) at 2100 W Big Beaver Rd is the classic choice: prime seafood, low light, and the kind of room that makes a Tuesday feel like an occasion. A few minutes away, [Ocean Prime Detroit](/places/ocean-prime-detroit) at 2915 Coolidge Hwy is its closest rival, also at 4.6 on Google. Both take reservations and both fill up on weekends, so book ahead.
If you would rather eat somewhere less formal, [Picano's Italian Grille](/places/picano-s-italian-grille) at 3775 Rochester Rd is the long-standing Troy alternative, at 4.4 on Google.
## Something lighter
For a date that is dinner-adjacent rather than a full sit-down, [Poke Poke - Sushi Unrolled](/places/poke-poke-sushi-unrolled) at 862 E Big Beaver Rd handles the "we want something good and quick before the rest of the night" slot. On the east side, [Oaxaca Mexican Food](/places/oaxaca-mexican-food) at 1985 E Wattles Rd holds a 4.6 Google rating and is a genuinely good, unfussy dinner.
## After dinner
Troy is not a late-night city, and it is honest to say so. The two rooms that stay lively are [DraftKings Sports & Social Troy](/places/draftkings-sports-social-troy) at 2850 Coolidge Hwy — loud, big, better for a group date than a quiet one — and [CJ Mahoney's Troy](/places/cj-mahoney-s-troy) at 2511 Livernois Rd, which is a pizza place and sports bar in one.
## A first-date version
Coffee first is not a downgrade here. [Monday Coffee Club](/places/monday-coffee-club) at 1860 E Big Beaver Rd and [HTEA CAFE](/places/htea-cafe) at 2891 W Maple Rd both hold 4.8-or-better Google ratings, and both are five minutes from the Somerset restaurants if the evening keeps going.
