BLT Prime

The story

Crafted with passion, served with love

A Steakhouse with Range

On the Upper East Side, at 1032 Lexington Avenue, BLT Prime operates with the quiet confidence of a restaurant that has earned its place. Part of an international family with outposts from Aruba to Seoul, the New York location brings that global pedigree to a distinctly American steakhouse experience — one that earned a Wine Spectator Award of Excellence in 2020, a recognition that reflects the seriousness of its cellar.

The Menu

The cooking here is described as contemporary steakhouse fare built on inspiring ingredients with modern accents. The core is a classic collection of steaks, but the menu extends well beyond: a generous selection of fresh seafood, signature salads, and — most notably — a weekly-changing Blackboard Menu that rotates with the seasons and leans on local ingredients. That chalkboard approach keeps regulars coming back and gives the kitchen room to work with what's best at any given moment. Among the crowd favorites, the potato skins have earned a particular reputation — the kind of dish that regulars treat as non-negotiable.

Wine and the Glass

The award-winning wine list spans both New and Old World bottles, making it a natural destination for a dinner with serious wine pairing in mind. Hand-crafted specialty cocktails round out the drinks program for those who prefer to start their evening differently.

Why It's Here

BLT Prime sits at a comfortable intersection of approachable and accomplished — an American steakhouse that takes its sourcing and its wine list seriously without losing the warmth that makes a dinner feel like an occasion rather than a transaction.
