Barclay Prime - Philadelphia

The staff here is exceptional, and Eddie is my favorite. Melissa is fantastic as well. The food is simply amazing. The oysters were fresh, and the crab legs were just right. The cheesesteak was an experience on its own, especially since it comes with champagne! Honestly, I can't remember a time when I had more delicious lobster. The steak is incredible too.

The server was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly, making us feel right at home. This time, we opted for the steaks, and the wagyu was truly worth it! It had an amazing flavor and just melted in our mouths. We also tried the shoestring onions, which were crispy, battered, and deep-fried, pairing perfectly with our steaks. My partner had the ribeye; she enjoyed it but mentioned that she would definitely choose the wagyu next time. We wholeheartedly recommend Barclay— they did not disappoint!

This was my second visit to Barclay Prime, and overall, I had a very good experience. The service was excellent, thanks to Matthew, and the ambiance was pleasant with incredibly comfortable seating. I tried authentic Japanese wagyu beef for the first time; it was delicious, but I didn’t feel it was worth the $200 for just 5 ounces. The other dishes we ordered—tuna tartare, Kennett Square mushrooms, potato au gratin, truffle mac and cheese, and the hot chocolate chip cookie with pistachio ice cream—were all well-prepared and enjoyable. Overall, I’d say it was very good, but not quite exceptional.

Absolutely loved my dining experience with a few friends for a birthday! Food is amazing. All of our dishes were delicious however the hamachi from the raw bar was my favorite. Sea food lovers go for the Striped bass and Truffle Mac is a must try! Ambiance gives quaint elegant dinner party feels within a library, really enjoyed my experience.

What an evening and what a meal! Let me start off by saying this is not your stereotypical, by the book steakhouse. Barclay Prime is a beautiful, modern steakhouse and very impressive. You will not see the dark lighting, private, more quiet booths here instead a more modern layout with couches, swivel chairs and a much louder experience (our only complaint). We had the tuna tartare to start, melt in your mouth tuna with incredible flavor. For our entree, we split the porterhouse (he wanted the strip and me the filet so it was the best of both), which,my God, was an amazing cut of meat and perfectly cooked. For sides, the shoestring onions were amazing (seriously, get them) and the tater tots (not your stereotypical ones…totally also get these). To end the meal, we split the three baked cookie (oatmeal, sugar, and chocolate chip in a dish) which was great but honestly just wish it was all chocolate chip. Great meal. Can’t wait to come back.
