From start to finish, we felt like we were in expert, caring hands. Even the person who checked our coats had a warm smile. The space is gorgeous (thank you Amanda) and the food was well-conceived and inventive without being show-offy, beautiful and completely delicious. The bay scallops were like a breath of fresh air. Thanks to Chef and the whole staff.

Last night at Barclay Prime in Philadelphia, PA was magical. The purpose of our visit was to celebrate a family member who is going to a military academy soon. The staff was attentive to this and surprised her with a small cake with a candle on it, and "congratulations" was written on the plate they served her the cake in. This was a very nice touch, it surprised our family member, and left her with a core memory and boost during such an important and special time in her life. Thank you Barclay staff for a wonderful experience.

Boyfriend and I went and split three dishes, which came recommended from a server. Onion soup, warm shrimp salad, and the steak frites. Everything was fantastic. We ordered our steak medium, and it came out very medium rare. Our server returned it, the manager came out and apologized. They returned with a corrected steak and more frites. Definitely recommend eating the frites with the steak in one bite. Good one their own but together- chef’s kiss! All of the food was incredible, and felt like we were back in Paris for an hour. Only critique would be for the bread to come warm to the table, or the butter to be softened so it could easily spread on the bread.

So many memories here and really sad that it’s all coming to an end. I couldn’t possibly let this restaurant go out of business without one less spin. Thanks for all the good times.

I was there on Christmas Day evening. It was very busy and both the Kitchen and the front of the house did a really good job. My server was prompt and very attentive and my food arrived quickly and was hot and of good flavor yet I did not feel rushed. I live in the neighborhood and will definitely return.
