BLT Prime never let us down! The food is always delicious with great quality, and the service is great! This is the third year we’ve come here for Thanksgiving. The turkey has crispy skin with very moist meat! Also, love the mashed potatoes and green beans. The gravy and cranberry sauces wrap up the taste nicely. We also love their normal menus, especially the Tuna Tartare, Cowboy steak, lamb chop, and profiterole.

We love BLT prime. The food is always excellent. We can’t wait until we get the fresh popover which comes with every meal. The steaks are always delicious but we had the turkey dinner for Thanksgiving. The turkey was moist and it came with delicious sides.Stuffing,beans sweet potato mash and cranberry sauce. The atmosphere is beautiful and the service is excellent. Highly recommended.

Once again, BLT Prime delivered a thoroughly enjoyable meal. We shared a wonderful ribeye and skirt steak accompanied by fries, spinach and mushroom, all of which were deliciously satisfying. Our drinks were of standard size but a bit pricey. Service was attentive and friendly. Popovers and pate just seal the deal. Reliably good food all of the time, as well as a great staff. Thank you.

Everything was perfect. The interior design is stunning. The quiet table by the wine walls was a perfect place to celebrate a family birthday. My request to server to assure all my food was gluten free due to celiac disease was met with reassurance. He pointed out every sauce that came to our table which wasn’t gluten free. Once we each took a bite of our filet mignon, the opinions were unanimous, BLT served the best steak each of us had ever eaten. A close second was the honey and bacon coated Brussels sprouts. I could not eat the popovers but everyone who could found them to be incredibly delicious. We’ll be back.

This was my first time dining at BLT Prime, and I realize that I need to go back more often. The hostess remembered me from my past visits, and was so warm and gracious. The beet salad was fresh and delicious. The branzino was cooked to perfection. The mashed potatoes were amazing. And the brown butter profiterole was just off the charts. My server Luis also remembered me and took great care of me. Perfect place for a prime dining experience. I can’t wait to return.

We’ve been here many times and this was our only disappointment. The kitchen couldn’t make a fresh hot burger and fries. Maybe it was too busy 7-8pm. Go later? The poor waiter was very kind. Just a little feedback for the kitchen.

Our server, David was lovely and the food is always absolutely delicious. The chicken pate appetizer is fabulous and the popovers are incredibly delicious. Our fillets were perfect as were the brussels sprouts The manager takes the time to stop by the tables and make sure that all is going well. I always left my dinners there.

Not as good as the first time we went. We were the first table in at 5pm, and at 7:20 we were still waiting on things. Everyone got filets, my daughter ordered hers medium well and it came out medium rare… things happen I understand. I myself got the burger, it was COLD! Have you ever hit into a cold burger? Eww!! Sent it back thinking they would replace it- nope- ten minutes later they asked if I would like something else!! At that point I said no. Had to remind the staff it was my daughters bday and to bring the slice of cheesecake. All a bad experience which surprised me! Also, my chopped vegetable salad was lacking vegetables- it was not what I remembered at all. Must be under new management. By 7:00 they were a full house and the bus staff didn’t seem to know where to bring things that were coming out. I will wait to go back to BLT in Aruba, I don’t think I will be returning here

I always have a delightful meal at BLT prime. It starts with fantastic popovers, followed by a sumptuous salad and followed by steaks grilled to perfection. The weight staff is terrific. My only slight negative is that each time that I arrive I typically have to wait 15 to 30 minutes for my table. With that said, this is by far and away the best steakhouse on the upper east side of Manhattan.

This was my 2nd visit. 1st was wonderful - couple. This time I was with my teenage & young adult kids so maybe that’s why service wasn’t as attentive. I had to ask for more water, forks for desserts, server didn’t ask if I wanted another glass of wine or their refills. Filet mignons were delicious. Baked potato w toppings, deserts - all good. I would try it again because it’s good food & I had a great experience the 1st time.

Terribly disappointed in the ribeye, it was dry and flavorless. Service was slow. This is the first time I’ve had a bad experience there. Consequently, I will rethink patronizing in the future.
