I had the BEST ribeye steak and creme brulee I've ever had here. That texture and flavor of that steak was just incredible. I got the 40 day dry aged steak and I will remember that steak for the rest of my life. It was so cool they let you choose out of a case of knives which knife you want to use too. It felt like picking a sword from a legendary armory!
One of the best steaks I’ve had in my life and I’ve been to many good steakhouses around NY. The steak was the star of the show. It was evenly cooked, even on the ends, had a perfect char, and we ordered medium rare and blood didn’t spew out - so they let it rest properly. Also, the presentation is great - the waiter gave us a choice of 5 different steak knives to choose from and he explained each one with detail. The tater tots are not traditional with a crispy outside. They were more of a mashed tot and we were pleasantly surprised. Mushrooms were great as well - good variety and well seasoned. We ended with the pavlova for dessert. We also loved the popover service. Fluffy and crispy with a nice sprinkling of cheese on top. Also, service was amazing. Our waiter was friendly, energetic, and very knowledgeable, which made the experience great. The one piece of feedback I have would be to up their cocktail game. My bf had an old fashioned and it was p weak (as in not much alcohol) and they used the smaller ice cubes (which prob made it taste weak). I liked my drink though (smoke gets in your rye) but it’s not for everyone’s it’s pretty alcohol forward. Feel like most steakhouses have a cocktail they do really well and I just didn’t see that distinctiveness here.
We dined at Barclay Prime with a group of seven and had an exceptional experience. Yes, the food and drinks are expensive—but absolutely worth it for the quality and service. We started with shrimp cocktails, crab cakes, and broiled bone marrow, all of which were outstanding. For mains, our group ordered a variety ranging from salads to Chilean sea bass, filet mignons, and American Wagyu, and every dish was cooked perfectly and full of flavor. The sides were just as impressive: truffle mac and cheese, sautéed spinach, whipped potatoes, and glazed Brussels sprouts—each one delicious and meant to be shared. What truly elevated the experience was our server, Matthew. He was attentive, friendly, and professional. We never had to ask for water, and he always checked in about drinks before our glasses were empty. Overall, Barclay Prime delivered an unforgettable dining experience. Perfect for special occasions or a splurge-worthy night out. Highly recommend.
Words cant describe my expirence on my 12/7 visit. I came here on my wife's birthday and everything was amazing from Jackson's service to the manager resetting my napkin in the 60 seconds I went to the restroom! The food was beyond amazing. I was only here one other time but my wife has decided this is her new birthday spot from now on! We even got to choose our own knives for the main course! Everything here was beyond 5 star
Simply great! Stopped by around 9 pm after a 76ers game. Atmosphere and presentation is wonderful. Fresh baked artisan un to start, delicious. Menu is chock full of carnivore delights! Started with bone marrow with caramelized onions and special toast, then picked the American Wagyu Porterhouse medium rare, split with my wife. Luscious, both the steak and my wife. Ended with a banana Creme bullet. A very satisfying taste treat to end a great visit to Philadelphia. The 76ers team had the table reservation across from us but never showed. That would have added to a great experience. In any event, you will love Barclay Prime!
