A modern steakhouse
where good food makes cents.
The Pretty Penny. Downtown Traverse City.
Bank on Flavor
Located in downtown Traverse City, The Pretty Penny serves chef-selected steaks and prime cuts, thoughtful sides, and crafted cocktails in a space that’s warm, relaxed, and easy to love. Set inside a historic bank building, we’ve kept the character—and lost the stuffiness. No white-tablecloth rules. No pretense. Just great food and good company.
Prime cuts. Seasonal sides worth sharing.
Fine wines and crafted cocktails.
Flavor you can bank on.
High Steaks Dining
The Pretty Penny takes its name—and its spirit—from the building it calls home. Once a neighborhood bank, this space now holds something even better: great food, good company, and nights worth repeating.
The penny may be discontinued, but we think it represents something timeless—real value. The kind you feel when the lighting’s just right, the steak’s cooked perfectly, and you’re exactly where you want to be.
We honor the past while keeping things current. Warm copper tones. Dark woods. A lively room that feels elevated but never exclusive. This is a place for date nights, celebrations, spontaneous dinners, and “just because” visits.
Good food never goes out of style.
