💎 Philadelphia's Ultimate Steakhouse | Barclay Prime 🥩🍷
About ten days after the Lunar New Year, I dined with 12 friends at Barclay Prime, where we almost tried everything on the menu 😊. This place is actually a spin-off from Butcher and Singer, but I personally think the food and flavors here have always been better than the original. To sum it up: $250 per person for an amazing feast! 🥂 Appetizers | A Seafood Lover's Delight 📌 Barclay Prime Grand Plateau 🦞🦀🐚 • Oysters : Nicely chilled, fresh enough, but a bit small and no variety introduction. • Lobster : The meat is firm and sweet, decent. • Tuna Tartare : Can't go wrong with this classic. • Jumbo Lump Crab Cake : Almost all crab meat, very little filler. 📌 King Crab 🦀 Ordered an extra portion of king crab, and the meat was pretty good. 📌 Chopped Salad 🥗 A refreshing and crunchy mix that cuts through the richness. 📌 Steak and Pearls 🎎 Wagyu tartare with caviar and smoked mascarpone—simply delicious. 🥩 Main Courses | Steak Extravaganza • A5 Wagyu Omi Striploin : Marbled to perfection, melting in your mouth. One order per table is enough; too much can be overwhelming. • Porterhouse | Bone-in Ribeye | NY Strip | Filet Mignon | Ribeye : Tried all the steak options, and the bone-in ribeye was the MVP. • Rack of Lamb : Tender lamb chops with sweet onion sauce, yummy. • Twin Lobster Tails : The lobster meat was bouncy, but a bit ordinary compared to the steak. • Foie Gras + Shaved Truffle : The best sides: The foie gras portion was huge. 🍸 Drinks Galore • Signature Manhattan : A bit bitter and sweet, classic. • Old Fashioned : A perfect pairing with steak. • Desert Rose | Pink Dove | Love Potion : Each with its own unique flavor. Pink Dove is fruity and refreshing, while Love Potion is sweeter. • Champagne : As expected. 🍮 Desserts We tried the daily gelato flavors: Raspberry, Pomegranate, and Lime Sorbet. Not much different from Parc's gelato. The standout was an orange cake-like dessert (forgot the name), fluffy like a cloud but incredibly refreshing. #Philadelphia #Steak #RestaurantHopping #PhiladelphiaFood #AmericanRestaurant #PhiladelphiaRestaurants
