I took my husband here for his birthday and was pleasantly surprised by Barlay Prime. I was so fed up with gimmicky Steven Starr restaurants that I had my doubts, but this one is an exception. The steak was excellent and the wine list ample. The service was courteous, and the staff well trained. It is a bit of a scene, but if you don't pay attention to the stilletoed NY wannabees, it can be a pleasant experience.
Pros: Less pretentious, Good steak, Great wine
Cons: Scene
