    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….

    Service was amazing ! Food was great! What disappointed was the noise level. It was so loud in the restaurant you could barely have a conversation and the waiter even had trouble hearing us and us hearing him.

    My fiancé and I hadn’t been to Barclay Prime in a few years. The food was amazing and the wait staff was excellent. Unfortunately, my seating request had not been accommodated. When I made my reservation two weeks in advance, I requested a private table and stated I didn’t want banquette seating. A loud couple was seated on one side of us and a large group was seated on the other side of us. If we return, maybe we will sit in the lounge area instead of the main dining area. Let me reiterate, the food was amazing and the wait staff was attentive. It just didn’t live up to our previous experience in regard to the ambience.

    This was my first experience at Barclay Prime. It was my son's birthday and I wanted to take him to a special place. This was very special. Both my son and I really enjoyed our experience here. The food was phenomenal, the quality and the way it was prepared were amazing. The selections were plentiful without being overwhelming and the staff were very welcoming. I felt it was well worth the money.

    Perfectly prepared steak. The American Wagu was flawless. Mac & Cheese to die for…but wait…there’s more…fresh Italian white truffles shaved table side. May actually return to Philly at some point just to dine here again
