    The food was delicious and service was excellent. The vibe is more lively than a traditional steak house. It was a little loud which creates a more update pace.

    Came to celebrate my birthday, Beautiful space with a classy ambiance, the service was immaculate, our server said he’d been there 20 years and I could tell. The bread? So so good. Hamachi Crudo was a bit lifeless and the ponzu? Sauce was a bit thick for me. The wagyu sliders were juicy and delicious. The chicken entree was soooo unique in flavor I really enjoyed it, but unfortunately I was super disappointed in my filet, especially for a steakhouse. The char was nice but overall way too salty, and I asked for medium, it was borderline rare, I couldn’t even finish it. But the server brought a yummy birthday pastry and that kinda made up for it. Drinks were a bit watery but we got a Mule which wasn’t on the menu so maybe just not something they make a lot.

    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.
