We ate there for the first time , beautiful sophisticated interior. Food was good , we opted for the salmon, very delicious and the quality and quantity is good . The pop up bread that they serve is a nice treat . Will definitely go back , everything was perfect from the food to the wait staff . read more

We too have fond memories from the Gramercy location. In short, the restuarant seems to be heading in a different direction. With only 3 options for steak plus the special to leads me to assume this is not a steak house but more a modern american restaurant with steaks as an option. Pros: So happy we got a booth, so comfortable and alot of space. Pop overs are amazing as ever Loved our crab cake appetizer Rib eye/cowboy was delicious, though i wish they sliced it so i didnt have to. Chocolate dessert was great! Very rich! Cons: We asked for the fillet mingon to be cooked medium, edges were chared, texture was almost stringy. This is dissapointing considering this is a $55 piece of meat. My take, it was more medium well. We got a creamed spinach side, the serving utencil they provided was a fork, not a spoon, a small thing but still it was a little strange. Initially they bought us brussels we didnt order instead of the spinach. Spagetti squash special was not great, edible but it didnt hit. Had to ask for water. Overall we enjoyed our meal, this is certainly our treat dinner that we look forward to once or twice a year. Seems as though there are stil some things to iron out at the new location. read more

Horribly managed and can't possibly related to the Old BLT company. Bar service friendly but management was miserable including some dreg who claims to have been with BLT for 14 years. It's just as bad as Arlington club before it. Wildly expensive and meat quality sub par. No renovation since the two restaurants that were thee before it. UES deserves better read more

So, decided to give them another try so I started with a drink at the bar. This is what I got for $21. Very conservative pour, so-so wine. Ugh. read more

BLT Prime was a great random spot we ended up at. We booked for outdoor seating then requested indoor when we arrived which they pleasantly accepted and arranged for us. Miguel was our server... he was a joy to meet! Super attentive and has a whole hearted laugh! We were also greeted by another manager ... just a nice warm friendly vibe from the staff including the bussers. The food was super tasty as well ...i love when restaurants have a little signature thing they do to make you keep coming back and that would be the cheese bread they give you... unique presentation and so yummy! Overall great staff, great value, great ambiance. Will be back. read more

I've been to all of the top steak restaurants in NYC and this is not one of them. $30 for a Manhattan is excessive and the waiter could not get the drink orders right. Making matters worse there was a hair on my steak when it finally arrived. Will not be returning. read more

The food and drink were Amazing. The service was great. Sad that they closed their doors on Christmas.

Fantastic service from Orlando and Miguel, the food and wine list are superb. The manager Annie is very knowledgeable and extremely kind! Overall a favorite place now for sure. read more

I've tried several of the fancy expensive steakhouses in NYC at this point. Homestead, Bowery meat company. This is one of my favorite so far. Definitely pricey but worth it indeed. I shared a 29 day dry ages prime rib with My girlfriend and got two sides to share for the table it was plenty of food. Don't forget to get a sauce on the side for your steak and ask for the giant popovers that are basically giant croissants that comes with a side of salt and butter. Definitely will come back read more

OMG I cannot say enough good things about this place. The service was superb, food delicious, ambiance very romantic. I took my boyfriend there for his birthday on Saturday. We started with the beet salad (yummy), crab cake (melts in your mouth), followed by the grilled salmon with asparagus and roast chicken (one serving is enough for 2) with grilled mushrooms. They have this unique hot bread with butter that was delicious. The staff made us feel welcome and special. Prices not bad either. Perfect place for date night or friends night out. They have indoor, upper level, and outdoor seating. Bathroom was immaculate (a bonus). Better to make a reservation. Will be going back there again soon! read more

I didn't like the way host talk to me . Food is wonderful Service is great by server .they need to upgrade the host that's all thank u. read more

The steaks were delicious, the staff friendly, ambiance was very good and prices reasonable. The negatives were the calamari was not only rubbery, smelt like fish, and breading soggy that was a waste of money. None of their sides were salted okay not a problem but my Brussel sprouts were burnt another waste of money couldn't touch it. All in all a 3. Next time steaks and nothing else. Lol read more

As a vegetarian, it may seem like this wouldn't work. On the contrary, this is one of my family's faves. The salads, baked potatoes, hen of the woods mushrooms, and amazing popovers are all amazing. The drinks are well made, and the service is always impeccable. read more

BLT Prime is perhaps the closest restaurant to my heart, and I mean that in a purely physical sense (merely around the corner from where I pen this review). The popovers are large, warm, filling, hollow, and sponge-like in their vast interior. They pair well with the chilled, spreadable butter they are served aside. The calamari, one of my "go-to" dishes no matter the locale, is top-notch, though has a high ratio of those that are all askew, misshapen, and spider-like. The tuna tartare, upon a layer of green avocado, both looks and tastes very nice. The eggplant parm is what was my main course as steak was not what I was feeling, as I was not looking to "eat" the "meat". I liked the eggplant parm, though not as much as plain egg. read more

BLT Prime you are really exceptional, I had a wonderful experience here today. Delicious menu items at good prices, fantastic atmosphere to unwind at. I am going to tell all my friends to try their Beet Salad, it was simply remarkable. Workers are really courteous. They're accommodating, respectful and always on their game. Awesome! Will return and recommend this spot always. read more

Good sides and wine but steak was over cooked and over-charred. Clean establishment and friendly staff.

I was so concerned when BLT Steak closed! I tried BLT Prime and was delighted to find it is the same extremely high quality food, service and atmosphere. Such a gem! read more

Was a big fan of the original BLT Prime on E22 St, so thought as it has been reborn on Lexington I'd have to give it a try. Now it's a ok steakhouse. The foods ok. The wine is alright. The service is a good. However, it's nothing like the BLT Prime I'd loved in New York before. So if you are going expecting it to be the same or better than E22 St then you will be disappointed; no apple martinis, a smaller selection of cuts, no friendly staff. It is basically BLT Steak moved a few blocks whilst it's renovated. I may try again in the future, but I don't think I'd recommend going here over Wolfgang's, Keene's or Sparks. read more

So glad that BLT Prime moved to the Upper East Side. This steakhouse is as good as it gets. While expensive, the experience is excellent. With reservations, the greeting is warm and seating is fast with no wait. Pleasant bar area (good for a local drink for friends and business). Tables are comfortable and very well spaced for great conversation. Service is accommodating and eager to please. I found the attitude of all the restaurant staff to be friendly and helpful. Food is the star here. Portions are perfect. The meal starts with a popover service - they are wonderful and quite filling so be careful. Meat cooked exactly as ordered with a choice of sauces - we tried three and my favorite was the green peppercorn. Fillet Mignon was great and just the right size. NY strip was perfect. Sides are the usual steakhouse choices and are also excellent. Too full for dessert. read more

Great food! Beautiful place and great ambiance! Braised short ribs are amazing and the pork belly appetizer! Their cheese brioche on the house is the best! Will definitely go back! Worth the money if you want a lovely fancy dinner!! Will not be disappointed! read more

I wanted to like the steak, but, it was like sawing through wood. And very dry, the sauce didn't help much.

This place has some great food. 4 of us went out for my birthday today and everything was good. The steak was good, the cheesecake was good. The potatoes (mashed and baked), Brussels sprouts and bread was soooo good. Everything was cooked perfectly. I ordered the Kansas City steak and my wife got the NY Strip. She loved hers as is and I loved mine, but I put some mashed potatoes on top and I was in heaven. Staff was attentive and really nice. I'd go back in a heartbeat. read more

Totally incompetent restaurant Took 2:30 to find out my takeout order was still at the restaurant and would need to be recooked Was told various times it was coming when in fact it was still at the restaurant Do not take out from this restaurant read more

The food is OK -- just OK. The interior is nice (but it's basically the old Payard), and the wine selection is interesting. But the bartender! Surly and lazy. Or, rather, he's not lazy, but his industry is entirely directed toward hitting on women at the bar, rather than serving the clientele. I recommend the BLT on 57th Street, instead of this one. read more

Ordered 20 min ago and pick it up the food is barely warm. When I asked the girl, she had an attitude and argued with me that it was hot when it came out of the kitchen. I doubt short rib takes less than 10 min to make it if it is, I would seriously doubt its quality. Also took a million years to charge my credit card. Terrible customer service, terrible operation management. read more

My favorite place! Food is delicious, I don't eat beef but the Dover sole is the best I ever had! Excellent place for a romantic night with great drinks and good food! read more

Let's see, what's least impressive? At these prices one expects the the 22 oz ribeye to gauge more than 3/4 inches in width, weigh 22 oz even with the bone and be tender. Not here. And the bone marrow that goes along with it, seriously, no utensil narrow enough to get at it to eat it. But most disappointing, truly, is that the waiter says "it is what it is' and "an ongoing pro lem" and the manager, when called over, on a Sat night, makes clear that he couldn't care less. No desire to make things right. This ain't the amazing Arlington Grill, management doesn't care and at this price it's tough to imagine one can't find a better steak, even on the Upper East Side. read more

Caesar salad without taste and Wagyu steak- dry and tough! Popover though- Are delicious.

If you are going to open a restaurant in a location that has turned over many times in the past few years it would help if you had staff that are accommodating and pleasant to your clientele. Wanting to support BLT I tried to have dinner there this past Friday night, the host ( and I use the term loosely) had a bad attitude and showed very little concern in accommodating a walk in reservation. Despite many open tables he made us wait at the bar for 15 minutes, when we went back up to see if he was going to seat us he simply said we would have to wait some more. We departed shortly there after and enjoyed a fine meal at T Bar. The food at the BLT properties is always very good, too bad they placed a douche at the door. I will return with a reservation so I can give this place a proper review. Till then 1 star for arrogance. read more

D-Bag manager alert I heard some rumors around the neighborhood that the evening manager was a real d-bag but the food was BLT style. (Which means very good) My fiancé & I decided to show up unannounced last Sunday evening. Realizing that we might have to wait awhile without a reservation. Which we were willing to do. (At the bar) As soon as we walked through the door, we were greeted by a young lady who was very nice and asked us how she could help. Sure enough here comes the d-bag manager in a 3 piece suit. Without mercy or talking directly to us, he tells the young lady that we have no tables tonight. Like we were some pieces of shit that aren't worthy. A good manager would talk to us. Simply apologize to us or offer us a spot at the bar knowing that it would be over an hour wait. This d-bag thought he was working the door at studio 54 on a Saturday night. I have a short temper so instead of grabbing the guy by his cheap tie. I decided to say thank you to the nice young lady and we walked out. He made us feel like shit and certainly lost 2 customers. So my advice to the d-bag manager would be to be kind to your customers, they help pay for that cheap suit your wearing. I will continue to spread the word around the neighborhood about the d-bag manager and they will never see us in there again. Be kind, life is to short to be mean... read more

Went here tonight to celebrate my parents 40th wedding anniversary. Will never be going back. Terrible service....rude waiters and an even ruder manager. Steak was over cooked and possible the slowest service I have ever received at a restaurant. I had expected much more for the price of things...only recommend going if you are looking for a good place to ignore your date...it's so loud you won't be able to hear anything. read more

My friend surprised me and took me here. It was so funny because I wanted to go to the one in midtown. The fresh bread was something only BLT could do like that, it was soft, warm and heavenly, and worth me throwing my diet out the window.The tuna tar tar was amazing and fresh, but drowned in soysauce. I would recommend less soy sauce and a little round circle of fresh wasabi mayo around the dish. The shrimp cocktail was good and delicious, but texture was off. I was really disappointed that BLT could not offer my friend and I some hot sauce, it was really beyond me. The employees were very nice. I would return. read more

Went there for a mid week dinner. Place was not crowded so we were able to go without a reservation as there were plenty of open tables. Several people had the Halibut special which was very good. The steak was slightly above average but not worth the price. Restaurant is very expensive, especially the drinks but the food is good. Service was average at best as waitress although nice often got confused. The highlight was sitting next to Kelly Rippa who was at table next to us. She was very nice and allowed my niece to take a photo with her. read more

We ordered the Restaurant Week to go menu given COVID. It was outstanding; I don't know how they are making money on it in the UES. More importantly, the restaurant forgot something in our order and immediately rectified the situation by having it delivered promptly even they were slammed with orders. Professionalism is important and I am more inclined to visit the restaurant based on the managers immediate attention to our issue. read more

Harsh critics out there. Have to say we really enjoyed the service as well as the food. You can tell they need some time but overall it was a great experience. NY strip, shrimp cocktail, tuna tartare, bacon, and the sides, especially the skins. Too full for dessert but I'll try next time. Good addition to an otherwise sleepy part of town. Hope it lasts. read more

Celebrated two birthdays with a group last night and our server Gionvanni and the manager were beyond amazing

Such A Great Experience From Start To Finish , From The Hostess To The Manager Paul They Were Super Welcoming , Super Attentive , Can't Wait To Go Back read more

We were here last night. Been to other BLT's and they were good. Will not be going back to this one. One person in our party spilled almost her entire mixed drink on the table. The waitress offered to clean up but would not comp for that, even though we had multiple drinks throughout the night. Then we were told oyster appetizers were portions of six. Only five came. When we pointed this out, the sixth arrived soon after. The waitress did not know if the $140 porterhouse was aged meat. It took her 40 minutes to find out. My filet mignon was small, dry and tasteless. Others in our party who had the NY Strip seemed to be ok with it. Food, appetizers and drinks seemed overpriced, even by nyc standards, and given the lack of food quality and poor service, I would say this place should be avoided. And given other alternatives on the menu, this place seems to be steering away from the steakhouse it use to be. Others must feel the same because they were only partially filled on a Saturday night. read more

Had a wonderful birthday dinner at this restaurant last night. When we made the reservation we had a few requests, and the manager, Annie could not have been any nicer and more helpful. The food was amazing - the porterhouse steak was cooked perfectly and tasted as good as any steak I've had in a long time. The drinks were great and service top notch. The ambience is very cool and we had an awesome time and meal. read more
