    The steak and bone marrow were a little salty. The Chilean sea Bass was very delicious. And I strongly recommend the Black Forest mousse, which features a rich chocolate mousse, light and airy cream, and cherries with a perfect balance of sweetness and tartness.

    As a lifelong Philly couple, it was our first time at Barclay Prime. Nice experience as our version of Thanksgiving dinner (our 3 kids are all out of town this year). Food was well prepared and, of course, the filet mignon was superb. The price point is a tad out of our reach for us on a normal dining out date (we had a gift certificate) and Barclay Prime is definitely a special occasion venue. Probably will not return (unless another gift certificate is in the offing!) but we did have a lovely evening. Thank you!
