    Absolutely incredible end to end service as always, between how we were greeted, seated, taken care of, and the quality of the food, everything was perfect, Barclay without doubt remains the best steakhouse and steak experience in the city. We had the diver scallops, wagyu sliders, whipped potatoes, prime filet and American wagyu filet, everything was cooked just as we asked and delicious. Cocktails were also incredible.

    The service, food and decor were outstanding. There are no details unattended. The only drawback for some patrons will be the noise level. Because of the above listed exceptional qualities, the restaurant is very crowded and hence noisy. The bar area dining was much less noisy.
