Barclay Prime

|Barclay Prime

The Overview

The sedate Barclay comes alive with Stephen Starr’s sexy update of steakhouse stereotypes. The dining room whispers “library,” with its high ceilings and shelved walls lined with books, but the mod furniture and dance music belie the serene appearance, creating a mellow but hip dining atmosphere. There are Starr-style gimmicks—the much-hyped $100 cheesesteak; the presentation of an array of steak knives for the diner’s choosing—but the steaks are serious. The kitchen has sourced some of the best meats available for Barclay Prime. Featured on the menu is the luscious Gachot and Gachot rib eye (from the butchers who supply Peter Luger in New York), which can be paired with sauces like the fragrant rosemary balsamic, but doesn’t require any flavor boost. Start with the snappy shrimp cocktail or the classic oysters Rockefeller, and don’t pass up sides of huge asparagus, and caramelized shallots with tender roasted potatoes.
