Editorial Review for Dylan Prime – by Dan McAlvanah
The Scene
Even though the restaurant can seat more than 100, the dining room still feels intimate, especially the candle-lit leather-lined booths. Pools of darkness abound, perhaps to allow the licking of a bloody paw when no one is looking. The music is more Moby than Sinatra, and you're just as likely to see a table of 20-somethings work a cheese fondue as a table of suits ordering magnums of Bordeaux.
The Food
The menu is a paper buffet--pick your cut of meat, dress it in either a sauce or a baked-on chapeau and then pick "accessories," such as Yukon gold mashed potatoes, bitter greens or wilted tomatoes with blue cheese. Meat-wise, it's all here, from rib-eye to the wonderful Argentine filet mignon to the mammoth Porterhouse. Cuts are hefty and juicy across the board.

Insider Tips
What to DrinkTry the Ten Berry Martini with fresh raspberry puree and a Bellini with white peach puree. The Naked New York, made with Peconika vodka and blue cheese-stuffed olives, is another standout.

It made me sad to look through the reviews and realize that the last few that Dylan received unanimously agree that it is bad. I used to love that place--and so did many other people. I remember when it was practically impossible to reserve a table there, when the steaks were delicious, when their appetizers almost made you cry (warm lobster salad, where art thou), when it was noisy, and boisterous and fun! Went there last week and found the entire experience BAD. First, their current appetizer menu gives you so few choices, and really one worse than the other. Second, the place was practically empty at around 8 pm -- never a good sign. Now, here comes the kicker. We ordered porterhouse steak for two, medium rare, and it arrive on a COLD PLACE. I mean not even room temperature. Do you remember that nice buttery sizzle of porterhouse? Well, not this one. So, by the time we ate the first two pieces, the rest of the steak was cold, covered in solidified fat, and completely inedible. Then came the deserts, which looked like somebody had dropped them and then reassembled them in a hurry. Messy, undistinguished, nothing to write home about. Our top three choices of wines were not available. The waiter had NO IDEA about any of the wines on the menu, unless you count understanding the difference between red and white. A sommelier was not available. I could go on and on, but I will stop here. I refuse to give it one star only because my husband and i had one of our most memorable dates there five years ago. Shame....
Pros: hmmm, good memories?
Cons: bad steak

I used to eat here alot, but maybe never again. Last week, I ordered a filet mignon medium rare and I had to send it back because it was so rare, it was almost breathing! When it came back to me (after a huge wait), the mouthfeel was rubbery. They say they use prime grade beef, but I'm thinking they're pulling the wool over our eyes by using choice...or worse yet, select. The sides were good, but it makes no difference when the anchor of the meal drags along the bottom. My family and I were sitting in a booth and they were changing a tablecloth on a large round table next to us. It was the kind of cheap folding table used for outdoor catered parties! You'd think a nice place like this would have a nice permanent table for large parties. It's the kind of smoke and mirrors thing that makes me wonder what's going on in the kitchen (Prime? Choice?). There also seems to be a Jersey biker element that hangs out here, which, quite frankly, doesn't aid in my digestion and makes me a little nervous for my family's safety. I work hard at Goldman and I really don't need to deal with poor service, rubbery steaks and sketchy characters using profanity near my family. I'm going to Wolfgang's. I've never had a bad experience there.
