Editorial Review for Prime Only Steak Seafood & Wine Cellar – by Fred Benton
In Short
The atmosphere is swank: fountains, paintings, pricey overhead lighting. The spacious Wine Cellar & Bar (which also has a separate street entrance) invites more casual diners with its overstuffed sofas and linen-dressed bar tables. The cellar's shadowy ambience is mirrored in the restaurant, creating a feeling of coziness, privacy and flattering light. Steaks steal the show here, produced under the Sterling Silver label and grading out to about four-fifths prime.

The owners of this restaurant have closed the doors to the Jones St location. In the process that have stiffed their employees not only of a job but their wages as well. Suggest boycotting this establishmnent as well as any other buisness that this company owns until it pays its employees what they are due.

My boyfriend and I went here on a weeknight, hoping to fulfill our craving for a wonderfully cooked steak...not so much. I can say that the outdoor seating, with the trains going by every now and then was nice. However, I certainly wouldn't rate this as an excellent steakhouse. Our servers switched out during the course of our meal and although both were nice enough, they were certainly not engaged or enthusiastic. They obviously would have rather been elsewhere. Also, the manager was seated at a table next to us, smoking a cigarette between occasional ventures inside. (Granted, it was a relatively slow night.) I found it odd that they didn't have a crumb sweeper. Our server just used her hands to sweep off our tablecloth and it was a bit awkward. I agree with the previous reviewer, that the vegetable side of green beans, red onion strips and corn was less than impressive. The most disappointing part of the evening was the steak. I got the petite filet and it was cooked relatively to my liking, but there was just no flavor. It wasn't a terrible experience, but certainly mediocre for a $100 meal.
