Dylan Prime is a contemporary take on the great American steakhouse, with an ambience aimed at not alienating a younger crowd and/or women. To your left as you walk in is a spacious lounge with a vaulted ceiling, curved bar, and windows on two sides; it’s suitably lit for a date, whether you’re meeting for a before-dinner drink or an after-dinner “pie-tini” or “cake-tail.” (Then again, the 48-ounce martini on the menu indicates the bar also appeals to groups.) To the right, along Laight, is the more grown-up dining room. The menu is designed like a steakhouse—you pay for sides—and it’s fairly decadent (fondue, pork belly tater tots, lobster-and-white-truffle mac and cheese…). Note: The restaurant only delivers to the Citigroup building. (Note: Dylan Prime is temporarily closed.)
