Not all steakhouses are worth the money, so if you're willing to splurge, do it at Barclay Prime. It's a "prime" steakhouse! The dining room is chic and classy, with green, squared couches and cushioned seats, old library books on the shelves, and delicate chandeliers (I wouldn't expect anything less from Stephen Starr).
Oysters and Caesar Salad - There were three different types of oysters, and while all were delicious, one type was especially plump and tasty (sorry, I forget which one!) I'm new at eating oysters, and these were certainly good ice breakers. Speaking of which, they were presented on a perfect block of ice. The caesar salad was excellent, not drenched in dressing and extremely flavorful; lettuce was crisp and fresh (and in small pieces, which I like).
"Choose your weapon."
16 oz. Dry-Aged NY Strip - Their signature steak and quite a hunk of meat, it was savory, tender, well-seasoned, and juicy. Leftovers heated up fairly well the next day!
Toasted Peanut Butter S'mores - These are not mushrooms, but marshmallows on top of a brownie, graham cracker, and peanut butter ice cream - I would have preferred the ice cream by itself; nothing else in this dish was nearly as impressive.
