We are 3 couples who enjoy talking, eating and drinking. Last Saturday night was a frightening experience. The good news is the two bottles of wine were served cordially and only moderately overpriced. The tuna tartare was more like a tuna mush -more pulverized than finely chopped. The onion rings were stacked pretty but were room temperature. The spinach was more watery than creamy. The lamb was undercooked, then when returned were overcooked. The veal chop was tasteless. We couldn't figure out how the porterhouse could be both sizzling and cold. The steak could have been properly trimmed, but was not, so the room temperature of the large segment of white fat was particualrly unappetizing. The coffee was not hot either. The strong air conditioning makes for a comfortable setting. Maybe it also led to the food being served cold? Simply speculation. Not sure if this was an off night, but, was a poor dining experience - exspecially for > $125pp

I went here for dinner with a girlfriend and we had such an amazing dinner. We sat at the bar and our bartender Rose was awesome! Super sweet and helpful with the menu! We ended up doing the prefix menu and were not disappointed. The popovers are always amazing, we were also served bread w/ delicious pate to start. The lumb crab salad and tuna tartar were delicious. The seabass was good, gnocchi was to die for and the Summer Grilled Veggiesd were amazing. THe drinks were great too. Service was fast and efficient. I will for sure be back again. It is pricey but well worth it.

my family and friends and I were visiting from Brazil on Sunday and we were given the recommendation from the hotel to go to BLT Prime. There was a large group of us, and they were able to take us with no problem. We loved everything so much, and our waiter was helpful in suggestions and the dishes that come with entrees. Four of us had the Prime Ribs, which he said they have specialty for Sunday. We will be back.

i love the blt steak/prime restaurants. i'm convinced they are actually one of the better steakhouse deals in the city, and the food quality far exceeds many of the other top steakhouses. there's more creativity in the dishes, but the dishes are still simple and delicious. must try: tuna tartare and the raspberry bread pudding. both items were the best i've had in the city.

Just wanted to comment on the review about the Sommelier tasting the bottle of wine before it was poured. Lady the reason that is done is to ensure that the wine is not corked. It's proper service to do that so u won't have the unpleasant experience of tasting a bad wine, it will ruin your taste buds for a few minutes, and it's just plain bad service not to do that.

My friends and I were in town on business and were recommended to BLT Prime. I read some comments here before we dined, and was a little wary, but we decided to have our dinner there, regardless. It was perfect...amazing! For those foolish enough to not make a reservation, that's your tough luck, you deserve to wait for the spectacular steak and other menu options. If you do your research on how steak should be prepared properly, then you will not be dissapointed. Side dishes are served family style, and are decadent, not massive. It's not Denny's. Good food should be based on quality, not quantity. My guests loved every aspect of our experience. Worth every dime, and we will be back any time we're here, with reservations, of course.

My boyfriend and I were craving a steakhouse dinner, so we decided to try BLT Prime. After walking in the restaurant and feeling like I was in NYC circa 1997, we put our name in without a reservation and the hostess told us it would be a 45 minute wait. After 40 minutes, I asked nicely how much longer they thought our wait would be and they said our table was just paying their bill. 25 minutes later, I asked again and they said they were just getting up. After 15 more minutes of waiting (over an hour at this point), they sat us at a weird booth right by the door in the bar area. We asked nicely if we could be moved to the dining area and the hostess said we were in the dining area. For a restaurant that charges what they do for a steak dinner, they should be a little bit more accommodating when someone asks to sit somewhere else. So they said they could seat us in the "dining room" after another table that was paying their bill got up - which was another 20 minutes. While we were waiting we saw them try to seat 2 other couples at this bar area table, both refused as well! We finally ordered and got our food, my filet was ordered medium rare and came medium well. Then during dinner, the table next to us complained about something and the waiter offered them a complimentary desert, then they got their check and the desert was on their bill. Like I said, for an upscale restaurant like BLT, you would think they would have enough experience to not let something like that happen. Don't think we'll be going back anytime soon...
