BLT Prime — Restaurant in New York

A gluttonously delicious restaurant with white-glove staff service that is perfect for date night!! 1000% recommend and if you are lucky to have Carlos (General Manager) working that evening…. Be prepared for a wonderful dinner from beginning to end!

My wife and I came here for a Friday date night and we were amazed at the wonderful dining experience! RESERVE THE BOOTH TABLE!! The 2-level restaurant creates a spacious environment so that we were able to enjoy intimate conversation while people-watching and enjoying our delectable meal!

We had a number of complimentary bread starters such as toast with pate with jam and their famous popover bread. OMG… this bread is worth the hype because it’s effectively a scooped out croissant where the crispy outer layer is complemented by the airy/fluffy interior!

We had a number of appetizers, but the highlights were the crab cake (chunks of sweet seasoned crab!), yellowtail carpaccio, and tuna tart. Everything was extremely fresh and the chefs pairing with other ingredients was a culinary masterpiece!

Let’s be honest…. A standard expectation for a steakhouse is to have good steak, and BLT Prime exceeds this by a mile! I ordered the cowboy ribeye which was served with a generous bone marrow, which I initially thought was decorative, but to my pleasant surprise was real and usable…. SLATHER that marrow onto the ribeye and thank me later!

My wife is usually the star of the show anywhere we go, but BLT Prime’s Australian Wagyu Skirt Steak was a close second. This incredibly delectable dish was served with a chimmichurri sauce which paired perfectly the balanced lean/fat of the skirt steak!

We ordered a number of sides as well and our favorite was the creamed spinach which had a herbal note that stayed on top of the richness...

This was our first time at this wonderful restaurant. Quite an impromptu decision. It was 5:15pm, no reservations and they gave us a booth for two. Nice touch. We ordered two margaritas. Delish. Perfectly done without fuss. Then the bread crips with pate. A Wow!! I was now full but I wanted to keep eating. We had the calamari and the artichoke hearts. Another absolutely delish moment. The sauces that came with them were a wonderful addition. The puffed cheese bread was the best I’ve had. Then the steak, a filet, perfectly prepared and seasoned although the large salt container on the table was a nice addition. I didn’t need salt but I loved the salt shaker. The corn side was also amazing, spicy and more like a pudding. Here’s the most surprising part of the dinner. We ordered a piece of the chocolate cake to go. A many layered scrumptious looking piece of cake. I will be honest, I don’t like desserts. I rarely eat them and if I do, it’s a mouthful. I especially never eat chocolate cake, I’m more a vanilla person. Well, when I tasted that piece of chocolate cake at home I could not believe how good it was. I mean, I ate half and now the second night (and just as good) I’m unable to contain myself. I am so glad we decided to stop and have dinner here. I will...

We waited more than 30 minutes on a Thursday night before anyone even took our drink order. Only because we complained and asked to be moved off the balcony away from a table of 20 to downstairs where we might get some service. The manager apologized and said he would take care of us. We placed our order, the appetizers came out fairly quickly as did the entrees while we were still working on the starters. At that point it felt rushed. The chopped salad was very good, properly dressed-the feta delicious. The filet mignon was okay-a bit stringy. We ordered three sides: French fries that were crispy and delicious, sweet potatoes which were a somewhat overly sweet and asparagus that was slightly overcooked but had a nice presentation. The star of the show were the popovers, warm crispy and made even more sublime by the addition of a spread of butter. We ordered chocolate cake to share for dessert. It was fine though gigantic and most of it remained uneaten. Normally we would have had several rounds of drinks but due to the lack of service we had exactly one round. Their loss. For the prices they charge we expected a much better experience than we received. As people who live within a block of the restaurant I am sorry to say we will not be returning. ...
