    The steak and bone marrow were a little salty. The Chilean sea Bass was very delicious. And I strongly recommend the Black Forest mousse, which features a rich chocolate mousse, light and airy cream, and cherries with a perfect balance of sweetness and tartness.

    As a lifelong Philly couple, it was our first time at Barclay Prime. Nice experience as our version of Thanksgiving dinner (our 3 kids are all out of town this year). Food was well prepared and, of course, the filet mignon was superb. The price point is a tad out of our reach for us on a normal dining out date (we had a gift certificate) and Barclay Prime is definitely a special occasion venue. Probably will not return (unless another gift certificate is in the offing!) but we did have a lovely evening. Thank you!

    We had high expectations for our first time. Celebrating my birthday. Service was extremely slow for no apparent reason. We had a 945 reservation so there were plenty of open tables. Our waters were not refilled until we asked. And the final and worst part was our leftovers that we packed- did not belong to us!! We got someone else’s leftovers in our bag. I was really looking forward to your amazing leftover mac and cheese, unfortunately someone else got it!! Too bad we spent over $300 and received this level of service. Would love to try it again but afraid to have another similar experience….
