Rachel and Mark are fellow meat-lovers, so we decided our next double date should involve some steak. Mark and Rachel are particularly knowledgeable about a lot of the steak houses in NYC, but neither they nor we had tried BLT Prime yet. And away we went!
The setting of BLT Prime is quite cool - modern rustic with dim lighting and cool booths. We particularly enjoyed the backs of the menus featuring a "meat map" of sorts. We wished we could take it with us!
While we waited for our orders, we were offered delicious popovers. We all were trying to be good and not spoil our appetites, but once you take a bite of one of these things it is very hard to stop.

And then both couples decided to try the Porterhouse for 2. Hearty and prepared exactly to our specifications (DJ & Mel = medium rare; Mark & Rachel = Rare +).

We ordered a few side dishes to share for the table - mushrooms, truffle mashed potatoes, and asparagus - and discovered that the sides portions are quite small. Just a handful of mushrooms and a scoop of potatoes to go around. But the seasonings on them were so rich and dripping with butter, we couldn't actually handle more than a few bites anyway. lol
Overall, BLT Prime was quite a fun night out for steak fans. It didn't win us over so much to take the #1 spot on our steakhouse Top 10 list, but we're definitely glad we checked it out.
