At Barry’s Downtown Prime, there’s no end to the selling points. Even the journey to the restaurant is special: You make your way down an escalator, and it’s the only destination at the bottom. The feeling of exclusivity only increases from that point on, as you’re treated like true royalty the second you enter.
Your smile will widen even more as the Cocktail Cart makes its way to your table. Manhattan and Old-Fashioned fans will find plenty to geek out over here, with your choice of regular or top shelf ryes, bourbons and tequilas (yes, you heard that right!). You will want to get out your phone and set it to “video” once your mixologist begins crafting everything together; the presentation is as intoxicating as the drinks themselves.
This being a steakhouse, you might be tempted (and rightly so) for wanting to opt for appetizers like crispy calamari, jumbo shrimp cocktail and a chilled shellfish platter. But might we suggest trying something a tad different like the crispy vegetable spring rolls? Once you taste the filling of Thai papaya salad, maitake mushrooms, vermicelli noodles, bell peppers, zucchini squash, watercress and roasted peanuts, all served with a Thai chili dipping sauce, it might become your new go-to before the main course.
And oh, the mains! Good luck choosing between Dover sole, Colorado lamb chops, or one of the many cuts, from a 14-ounce dry-aged boneless ribeye to a 12-ounce wet-aged rib cap (also known as “Barry’s Steak,” pictured). And save room for dessert—we’re partial to Christine’s carrot cake (the difference here is roasted pineapple chutney) and the campfire s’mores, as delicious as you remember from childhood.
Another huge selling point of this space is its … space. There are several individual rooms that can accommodate larger groups, all with distinct names: The Chef’s Table (capacity of 12); The Sultan’s Table (capacity 14); The Sabre Room (capacity 22); The Fremont Room (capacity 24); The Garden Room (capacity 24); The Mint Room (capacity 44); and The Main St. Room (capacity 65). You can reserve any of these—or even the entire space itself for super-special occasions (capacity 350)!
