(BALTIMORE – January 31, 2024) – Clark Hospitality, part owner of Papi’s Cuisine, and The Outkrowd group owners of Blk Swan have joined forces to create an elevated and exquisite dining destination where sophistication meets culinary mastery, Prim & Proper. This historic, first collaboration between the two restaurant powerhouses is nestled in the heart of downtown Baltimore City. Prim and Proper invites you to indulge in the artistry of French/American-inspired cuisine, crafted to tantalize your taste buds by Executive Chef Calvin Riley.
Accompanying this artful gourmet is a wine list meticulously crafted by co-owner and Sommelier Janelle Clark that features a wide range of popular brands and lesser-known but
incredible tasting locally sourced wines for pairing and delight.
The newly renovated restaurant pm, located at 206 E. Redwood Street, will host a ribbon cutting on Thursday, February 1, 2024, at 3:30. Guests will see the stylish restaurant that was
designed with the help of local interior designer Elaborate Designs by Tiffany Marie. The space boasts an elegant, yet chic, modern take on a traditional French aesthetic incorporating a fun and entertaining 1980s/throwback dance music soundtrack. From the crown molding, velvet drapes, white tablecloths, and walls filled with paintings by local artist Kid Balloon the place is sure not only to be appealing to sophisticated dinners but also spark the interest of the fashion-forward trendsetters, working professionals, and all seeking great food, craft cocktails and good vibes.
Another highlight of the venue will be the former Merchant Club building. That space will house a members-only social club where during the day members can work, host
professional meetings, and entertain clients. In the evening, guests can start with fine dining and end their night socializing in a “swaggy” after-hours lounge with Baltimore’s top
tastemakers, business leaders, and trendsetters.
Distinguished by its commitment to service, and refinement and an unwavering dedication to culinary excellence, Prim and Proper promises a dining experience that transcends the ordinary.
From the moment you step through our doors, you will be enveloped in an atmosphere of timeless elegance and charm.
“I’m excited to partner with the incredible operators of Clark Hospitality to build on our individual successes, to demonstrate the power of collaboration and partnership and to bring
Baltimore a new sophisticated yet fun dining experience that will appeal to a wide range of diverse restaurant goers” says Chris Simon co-owner of the Outkrowd Group.
“I have watched, supported, and celebrated the impact and success of the Outkrowd and Blk Swan and to now partner with them to create a new concept with a menu that is elevated but very approachable with a focus on service and hospitality is exciting and monumental,” said Berry Clark, co-owner of Clark Hospitality.
