    This was our 25th anniversary dinner, one of many anniversaries we have had at Barclay Prime. The dinner was outstanding, as always and Ed, our server was great. Our only complaint is the up charge for blue cheese stuffed olives and cocktail onions for our martinis….really? It’s a bit insulting from a restaurant of this caliber. Is it something new as I’ve never had that during past visits. It’s a bit tacky.

    I originally made the reservation for 2, however I had to change it to 1 due to a cancelation. I was very comfortable and still made very welcome even flying solo. I enjoyed the food and service very much.

    Excellent dinner at Barclay Prime. The scallops with the caviar were amazing. We always get the famous cheesesteak. We will definitely be back!

    Our Server, Alexander was excellent! He explained everything to us and how to order and gave us great suggestions. The olive Japanese Wagyu was the best steak I have ever had along with all the other items we tried. Atmosphere was great it felt cozy and fancy. If we can we will definitely come again!

    We have dined here multiple times, however this last experience could not have been any worse. Our American wagyu was dry for over cooked above requested , and au gratin had a sour almost spoiled taste to it, asparagus undercooked. I am not sure when they went down hill, but extremely disappointed to say the least.
