It was quite quite good. The appetizers and Ribeye were top notch. The desserts although imaginative weren't anything remarkable.
Kobe beef sliders were a disappointment.

Keep me posted on your Philly dining. I'm always looking for a decent place to try.

After several tries: average food; great Pinot Noir.

I have been to Peter Luger and many other places and still like this one the best (prices are much more reasonable, too).

More like $50USD a person.
To stay on topic, they do offer a Kobe Caparccio as an appetizer to be shared.

Oh the sides at Barclay Prime were outstanding. For example, I had the buttere d corn and asked for light light butter. And it was still fantastic, the corn kernels were sliced right from freshly cooked ears of corn.
Yummy

I now have an opinion since I have eaten there! Soooo good. The steak I had was delicious. It did not have a sauce but just a little bit of salt and pepper. I ordered onion rings with it because I never have an opportunity to eat them. They were enormous and very tasty. The cheesecake was delicious as well... and huge! It is the best steak I've had thus far... but it looks like there are many places to try! ^

I went to Ruths Chris the other day, the steak was great (ordered without butter, but with fresh chopped garlic).
I found the service to be very obnoxious though, they were very patronizing with my uncle. They were loud and spent too much time up-selling "would you like this with it, or perhaps some side dishes"?! WE can read the menu, and I know what I want!

Smoky club
Smoky's Club in Madison, Wisconsin. The filet mignon (medium rare) is tasty. The bread butter is delicious.
St. Elmo in Indianapolis. Outstanding filet mignon (medium).

I'm very surprised that Capitol Grill ended up tops of the chains according to Consumer Reports.
I went there once and was disappointed. In fact my steak which I order medium well came out medium rare (It was still mooing!!!)
Not the greatest of service either.
Maybe things have improved since I went four years ago. Maybe I should try the one in NYC.

III Forks in Dallas would be #1 in my book, with Peter Luger in NY coming second, and Del Frisco's in Dallas third.
Most overrated? The Range in Las Vegas. Both times there they have managed to mangle my steak. Never again.

Peter Lugers was quite tasty, but as Brooklyn is my original home, I am ashamed to say this again I would not list it as #1 for me.
Dont get me wrong I would recommend both of them, but there are better choices elsewhere in the United States, in my opinion.
I have never been to Del Friscos...
