Enter this contemporary Rittenhouse Square Steakhouse in The Barclay Hotel and you'll feel as though you've just walked into the setting of "Clue.". While the front of the house features a dark, sexy lounge area, the rear dining room has the feeling of a library. Stephen Starr does not disappoint for dramatic atmosphere or food at Barclay Prime. While the talk of the town when the doors first opened in 2004, was the $100 cheesesteak (which comes with a split of champagne), the balance of the menu delivers on amazing flavors. Be sure not to miss the Kobe Sliders, which are "to die for," dry aged steaks and great desserts.
Steakhouse
Barclay Prime may just be THE BEST steakhouse in Philadelphia. The steaks are pure aged perfection, sides are delicious and the atmosphere parts from the ordinary ostentatious spaces of the larger chains
Appetizers
While the main event at Stephen Starr's swank Rittenhouse Square Steakhouse in The Barclay Hotel may be the dry aged steaks, the starters are not to be missed. A meal can be made on the fabulous appetizers and perfectly chilled martinis alone. Raw bar specialties feature seafood cocktails, fresh oysters and decadent caviar. Salads, soups and tartares are great, but if you must choose just one, the Kobe sliders are the way to go.
Business Dinner
The perfect place to have a business dinner with clients. Located in Rittenhouse Square, Barclay Prime is conveniently located to many of the city's largest corporate office buildings.
Caviar
How can you improve upon a meal of dry-aged steaks, fresh seafood cocktails, and perfectly chilled martinis? The only way imaginable is with this trendy, hot spot's caviar and blinis. OK, who's kidding whom? Amazingly briny sturgeon caviar is great from anywhere, but at Barclay Prime, the blinis are so warm, fresh and delicious, that you will find yourself asking for more!
Chicken
Unlike many steakhouses that concentrate only on steak, the menu at this Rittenhouse Square hot spot offers many additional options, from seafood to short ribs, and a spectacular organic roasted chicken. Many people do not think of ordering chicken in a restaurant, but this moist, perfectly seasoned bird will not disappoint. And if your interested, the dry aged steaks are some of the best in the city.
Lobster
Every steakhouse is known for amazing steaks and succulent lobsters. At Barclay Prime, Stephen Starr's upscale steakhouse served in the setting of a "Clue" game board, they have improved on the traditional. Here the lobster is butter poached and so divine, every bite is to be savored. Pair your lobster with some of the delicious sides, followed by great desserts, and this will be a meal you won't soon forget.
Meet For a Drink
Centrally located on Rittenhouse Square, the sexy lounge at Barclay Prime is a great place to unwind after a long day. Although you will surely have much company in this happening hot spot, the entertainment provided by the beautiful people coming and going is quite a scene. The narrow space has a "club-like" feel with dark wooden walls and leather seating. The cocktails are served icy cold and, if you are interested, there are nearly 20 wines offered by the glass.
People Watching
Still one of Philly's trendiest venues, Barclay Prime attracts some of the city's most interesting crowds.
Power Scene
The perfect place to have a business dinner with clients, this space is full of local "power players" and other "beautiful people." If you decide not to talk business, you can discuss the multiple knife options to choose from, or the interesting uni-sex bathroom scene.
Steak
The big story here are the 21 day dry aged steaks, mega-veal chop, delicious sides, and the ever-popular Kobe sliders. Be prepared for your server to bring you a selection of knives to choose from for your steak. Don’t be intimidated, your knowledgeable server can steer you in the right direction.
Trendy
In addition to great food, Barclay Prime has a trendy vibe that keeps crowds interested in filling the bar and restaurant night after night.
