Barclay Prime
The caviar with a glass of champagne was delicious!
THE ONLY THING THAT KEEPS US FROM GIVING A 5 STAR RATING WAS THE BAR SERVICE. AFTER WATCHING WAITER WALK BY TO OTHER TABLES FOR 15 MINUTES, I HAD TO ASK HOW TO GET A DRINK. THE EXCUSE WAS THAT THEY THOUGHT I WAS WAITING FOR SOMEONE WHICH I WAS, BUT I WAS GOING TO WAIT WITH A DRINK WHICH I WAS NEVER OFFERED. NOT UP TO BARCLAY PRINE STANDARDS.
Engagement - amazing service and food
Food was amazing. Service was great. This was my second time back and I love it!
Overall, a very nice and unique restaurant. Perfect ambience for a special night out. However, it is very expensive and quite honestly, given the hype and reviews, the food was just average.
Delicious food, wonderful service. Best steak I've ever had.
We loved the quiet, calm & comfortable ambiance of the dining room. Our server, Allison was attentive, professional & gave us great recommendations!
Great atmosphere and excellent service but the food was mediocre.
Excellent!
As a Butcher and Singer regular, I decided to snap up a reservation at BP. BP has a NYC/ Miami vibe as opposed to an old school east coast chop house which is what Butcher and Singer is. Both are excellent. Both have their niche. You can’t go wrong with either.
Personally, I appreciate the old school vibe and the Porterhouse for 1 at Butcher and Singer which is a Top 5 steak in my travels (Peter Lugars, Gallagher’s, Keens, Charley’s in Tampa). However, you do not have to coerce me to have a steak at either establishment.
Great atmosphere, attentive and knowledgeable service and excellent food all led to a great experience.
Amazing food and amazing service. Great experience overall. Definitely going to come back.
Perfect. In every possible way. From the attentive service to the phenomenal food, this continues to be the best place in Rittenhouse.
Overpriced. Their selections of sparkling wine are very limited. The attendants around their reception/cloak area and the waiting area are not that friendly. If you like basic meat food, this is a good place to go.
Always on point 16 year of excellence.
Everything was top notch. Had an 8:00 reservation, walked in and was seated promptly. Our waiter, Glenn, may have been the best waiter we have ever had! Food was oustanding
Barclay Prime is a modern take on classic steakhouse. It's top attribute is probably its setting. The Steaks are good, the sides are good, the service is unctuous. It's got most of what you are looking for. Check size is 85th percentile. Value is similar.
Lobster bisque was DELICIOUS! Tuna tartar was so fresh! Really great 8 oz filet and 20 oz ribeye! Don’t pass up trying a dessert! Definitely would recommend!
Everything was good! The room was very dark I could barely see but I guess it added to the ambiance. They could be more forthcoming with the bread and paper napkins!
The cheese popovers are outstanding!! When I asked how they were made, they gave me the recipe! As always, the steak melts in your mouth!! It was my birthday and they surprised me with cake!! We also tried the bananas creme brulee desert and it was light n decadent! Everything at Barclay Prime just melts in your mouth!
Great service. Superb food experience. Elegant atmosphere.
Went in on a random Sunday evening. Beautiful space but there was absolutely no one there. I believe by the time we did finish dinner another four tables had bodies in them. But that and the level of music just made it kind of “not fun” - too quiet
We will definitely try to go back on a Friday or Saturday - maybe there will be more people there.
Overall food was good but nothing that was insanely prepared or unique for the price point. I had the branzino and my friend had a filet mignon - traditional american cuisine. Service was fantastic. Server knew the information well and was attentive. We will be back.
Very nice staff and good food
Hands down the best service, atmosphere, and food we have ever experienced!! We will definitely be back!! We have been to many high end restaurants and this has been our favorite!!!
Great service, pleasing and accommodating. Helpful and generous with time and attention. It was enjoyable. Although it is expensive, I feel lives it up to the value and experience. We shared the porterhouse and it was the best steak I have had in the city. Glenn was our server and really made us comfortable.
If you have the lucky chance or having Chris as a sever be grateful. Not only was the food and atmosphere impeccable, but his service was beyond amazing.
Vslentine’s Day
Our meal at Barclay Prime was excellent, as usual. Our server, Chris, was amazing. He provided great suggestions and excellent service.
Very pricey but we loved it. The Caesar salad is the best in Philadelphia. The ribeye was perfect! The mushroom side dish is not to be missed. Our server, Jessica, was fun yet professional. Overall, a perfect night.
Our waiter was amazing he was knowledgeable, attentive!!!
great food , awesome service - our waiter Matthew was top notch !! very attentive and on top of everything . made my husbands birthday dinner super special. we had a great time .
The server Lenny was amazing! He is truly an expert at his craft and this restaurant should be honored that he is representing their establishment. The food was exceptional quality and tasted out of this world.. my guest stated that this was the greatest meal in their lives.. look forward to our next experience at Barclay Prime!!!
Great service. Great food.
The food was delicious and the service was wonderful. A great dining experience. The popovers were out of this world.
Have not been to Barclay Prime for awhile as we live in western suburbs. What a great restaurant. The ambiance, the staff, the food all great.
We had the Dover sole which was perfect, along with potatoes and champagne.
Highly recommended.
Absolutely fabulous! The food is delicious. The service is impeccable. The room is tasteful and quite. Nothing goes unnoticed. Every need is met. You can’t go wrong at this establishment. If you want a perfect evening this is the place to go.
My fiance and I were celebrating our engagement and it was the most incredible experience we had! Our server was so pleasant and gave us complimentary champagne to celebrate our night. The drinks were delicious, the food is incredible! Definitely coming back again for many more date nights.
Outstanding meal as always. Best steakhouse out there
I love Barclay Prime! The staff is excellent, and the Assistant GM, Alex, always stops by to give me a very warm welcome. I was Assistant Manager at what used to be The Barclay Hotel thirty years ago. I always have to return to Barclay Prime for birthdays, special events, or just when I need to treat myself to a fabulous dining experience.
We had an incredible experience at Barclay Prime. Every dish we ordered was delicious. The waitress was so attentive and wonderful. We couldn’t have asked for more. We will absolutely return. After living in NYC as a foodie for 15 years, it is not easy to impress me. I was totally impressed.
