It's a really smart place and we went with our 9 year old son, but it was early evening and we were made very welcome. The food was delicious and the portions were generous, but it was VERY expensive since you get nothing included with your steak order. Went here on arrival in New York, so by time we were... More

Our party of 4 enjoyed a wonderful meal at BLT Prime. The atmosphere is nicer than the typical "NYC steakhouse" decor that many restaurants feel compelled to adopt to let you know you are in a steakhouse. There is a comprehensive wine list with something for everybody - mark-ups were standard for upscale NYC restaurants. The sommelier was very hepful... More

My daughter and fiancé took us there this weekend for our 40 anniversary and everything was just right. The food, service, atmosphere, couldn't be better. The steak was the best I ever had, I've been all the steak houses. Don't miss this one.

Waited 1h for service before getting a sting of a Franco American steak experience. We first got mushrooms terrine which looked, feel and taste like guano $60 steak was 70% nerves (they comped it though). All sides were terribly oversalted Sauces were bottom of pan of overheated industrial stuff. Wine list was a 3 digits trap. The only upsides were... More

Food was great. My medium rare steak was done perfectly and the peppercorn sauce was really good as well. Service was exceptional.

Visiting as a group of friends, we had a great time at BLT Prime. Excellent food, reasonable levels of noise, attentive but understated service (just the way it should be). The prices are on the expensive side, starting with the wine list which has nothing under $70 a bottle, so chances are you can only go there for a special... More

I met my son and his business partner for dinner. We had to change our reservation time twice due to late running business meetings. The hostess was able to change our reservations without a fuss. We had a drink at the bar first then was seated promptly. The staff is very attentive, the menu excellent. I had a shrimp appetizer... More

We came here for my birthday dinner and were not disappointed. We have tried many different steak house in NYC and we both agreed that this was our top 2! It is more expensive than some of the others yes, but if you are splurging on a steak dinner and a night out it's totally worth it! We started with... More

Our family of 5 plus had a delightful Saturday dinner experience at BLT!! The most amazing aspect to the meal was the service! WOW--it literally felt like the entire staff was at our beck & call. All graciously handled the presence of our 3-month old granddaughter too. The food was delicious but actually a little overwhelming. BLT serves the most... More

Stylish interior, very different to some of the more 'rustic' steak places, so arguably slightly less personality. That said the food was good and service very attentive.
