    Service and food are outstanding. We brought our 10-year-old daughter along for the first time, and the entire staff treated her like royalty. Jaxon was our main server once again; he is always polite and knowledgeable. Glen, who has been our server at least 10 times in the past, stopped over to say hello and catch up. Our experience is always positive, and this was no different.

    The food was outstanding the best steak I've ever had. The service was impeccable. We enjoyed our meal and I would recommend this restaurant highly to anyone that wants to have an excellent meal. Excellent service down to the Caesar salad was even perfect.

    Barclay Prime never fails to provide an amazing dining experience. From the attentiveness of the wait staff, to the quality of the food it is an altogether incredible night out. Both filet's were cooked to perfection and the flavor was amazing. Au gratin potatoes had a nice crispy top, with just a hint of nutmeg making them a perfect pairing to the filet. And the nice, quiet ambiance harkened to fine dining of the past. Can't wait to go back!

    We had a late reservation but still had to wait for 15 minutes to be seated, with no apology or drinks while waiting. Our server was polite and fairly attentive, but sometimes hard to hear, mostly because the dining room was quite loud. The steaks were terrific, among the best I've had, and the creamed spinach was delicious. The Kennett Square mushrooms came highly recommended by our server but tasted of burnt garlic. The markup on alcohol (liquor in particular) was absurd, and there were very few options for wine in the sub $100 category. Even with a 200%-300% markup typical of most restaurants, this should be an easy category to fill. People go to places like Barclay Prime to celebrate something or someone special, and when you pay Barclay Prime prices, you expect a special, dazzling experience to match the occasion. While the meal was generally quite good, we were not made to feel special and did not have the dazzling experience you expect from the Starr Group or any high-end steakhouse for that matter.

    I’ve gone several times and have really enjoyed the place. Today, I guess became of the holidays, the quality was not great. I ordered a medium steak and it came medium rare. I shared my concern and they put it back on the grill and it came back medium well. I was also surprised that they put the same piece of steak back on the grill rather than making another one. Lastly, the tater tots were slightly burnt. Not normal, but very surprised at the quality of the food during my visit.
