Barclay Prime sits in Rittenhouse Square inside a dining room modeled on a European library — banquettes, marble, chandeliers, an atmosphere built for celebrations and business dinners alike. The menu runs on an a la carte steakhouse format, with prime cuts dry-aged 35 to 40 days alongside named-farm American wagyu from Snake River Farms, Creekstone Farms, and Black Hawk Farms, and A5 Japanese wagyu specified by prefecture — Kagawa, Hyogo, Shiga. Caviar service and a raw bar round out the luxury sourcing.
The restaurant's known dish is the Barclay Prime Cheesesteak, a hand-cut wagyu version with black truffle, foie gras, fried onions, and cooper sharp on a sesame roll, served with a half bottle of champagne. Beyond the steaks, the menu covers seafood like Chilean sea bass, wild Dover sole, and twin lobster tails, plus sides like truffle mac and cheese and house-made ice creams and sorbets.
Barclay Prime was named to Philadelphia Magazine's Best of 2025 list and holds a 9/10 score from The Infatuation.
