nice that he made the prices accessible….i thought the food was going to be priced reasonably…these prices are ridiculous…
October 27th, 2008 at 12:54 pm
yawn…

The item that probably gets me the most is the baked potato at $10.
Potatoes are generally about 60 cents a pound.
Second runner up is that $4 tea.
Stephen Starr must have harvested it himself.

When is this city finally going to be done with Steven Starr? Like, really, get a real restaurateur. Danny Meyer, please come to Philly!
October 27th, 2008 at 4:56 pm
Hm, yeah I think we have a good restaurateur or two…one of them is Jose something. He does ok. And I think Mike Salamonov, Georges Perrier, and Daniel Stern might have something to say about that as well. Not to mention all of the brilliant BYO’s sprinkled around town.
Oh, and Danny Meyer? You mean the brilliant mind behind Union Square, home of the $13 Bibb lettuce salad and $24 Cappellini dish? And let’s not even get into the Gramercy.
We already have DannyMeyerStephenStarr.

This is definitely a place I’m gonna wanna read Collin, Craig, and yes, even Adam on before I even think of flashing $21 for the burger.

I’ll give you Garces & Stern. It was more of a rant against Starr than a slight to Philly’s more enlightened breed of restaurateurs. My bad for writing a bit too rashly.
October 27th, 2008 at 8:23 pm
Honestly, I think it’s a waste of comments to complain about the pricing–it’s obvious every commentator here is strapped for cash. Why even check out B&S? Stick to Longhorn Steakhouse. Dinner is meant for fun and socializing, not for crying “poor mouth”…

I can’t believe we are getting another steak house, especially from Starr. Isn’t he just poaching from Barclay Prime?
October 28th, 2008 at 11:49 am
I agree with Omarosa, anyone going to B&S worrying about prices should go to Qdoba down the block. It’s really a great steak house, everything prepared Class A. Ambience still too stuffy for the young (25-43) crowd. Del Frisco’s opening up soon 1 block away will statisfy that need.
October 28th, 2008 at 12:10 pm
I’m just skeptical with anyone associating Starr with Class A Ambience, and his effort at a Class A menu. His places are fun, but the food to me has always been subordinate to the place. There are good Class A steakhouses in Philly. I suspect, per usual, Starr is “entertaining” the “concept” of a Class A steakhouse rather than actually pulling off a Class A steakhouse. Based on that hunch, my guess is the reviews are going to put this in the same league as Time as supposed to the “Class A” steakhouse league. In other words, the illusion of a class A meat experience for people who don’t know better, and probably don’t care.

This is absolutely typical steakhouse fare at typical high-end steakhouse pricing. I’d be more interested in knowing things such as whether they’re dry-aging in-house, wet-aging, grass/grain fed, cooking method (broiler/grill/skillet/oven) or whatever other special beef-related info they can give me rather than the menu in deciding whether I’d go.
October 28th, 2008 at 6:59 pm
Yes, I was commenting not on the price but the ridiculousness of Starr doing a pastiche of a steakhouse. Barclay is ok, but not great. This will be worse, I bet.

I think that trying out B and S will be a fun experience and worth the onetime event, but that is what this city has to offer from the people who have the money to open new restaurants. Their food is so so, and the restaurants are designed great; For a tourist that is all great but for people who want to dine out more often let someone back the real chefs of Philly. Nothing but chain and overprices restaurants that don;t deliver. I hope that I know being from New york and have work for famous chefs. We need the old Philly restaurants back.

I tried the porterhouse at Butcher and Singer yesterday during lunch and it was good, but Morton’s is actually better. My friend ordered the lamb chop and we shared an order of mushrooms and onions and curiously they used the same spices in all three items. Ack.
The crabcake was okay, not as vile as Smith and Wollensky’s but not as good as Morton’s.

I know the Chef at B&S very well. I am sure he will make a big change in the Philly Steakhouse scene. For you people who are not in the business, it is necassary to charge high prices for a great steak. Meat prices are up. If you want a good steak you pay the big buck. If you want a cheaper version go to Outback. I myself haven’t been there yet, but can’t wait to go.

I am all steakhoused out… If I wanna be apart of the in crowd I will eat average food at parc at least I can look at the park. As far as the philly restauranteurs go I think we have a great mix. CEF you forgot Vetri, he and Garces are my favorites.

Capital grill is the best and no one else can achieve their decor,service,and food quality. I am sorry for those who disagree. (for I know meats and steak-houses form LA to Philly).

I am going there tonight, but the menu seems a bit limited. Fine Diner you may choose a chain restarant as your top choice, but I’m guessing you forgot about Bern’s in Tampa. Their quality along with the finest wine collection in the country hands down makes them my favorite.
