One of the best restaurants in the world for steak. Can be pricey if you like expensive wines. The right place for a important celebrations/dates ;) Famous for its $100 Kobe cheesesteak.

Over-promised and under-delivered - meek - April 22, 2007

Like most, I like a lively restaurant atmosphere on a Friday night. But I could hardly hear myself talk when I went to Barclay last. The acoustics make it difficult to have a pleasant conversation if you sit in the middle of the room, so ask for a side table along the wall. Food-wise, you absolutely must try their slider hamburgers!!! A Barclay staple.

My new employer took me here, and I had an awesome time. The food was excellent and more innovative than the usual steakhouse fare. The ambiance is like a hip library or lounge. There is also a private room for events that is pretty neat.
