Bailey's Prime Plus

Bailey's Prime Plus is a new spot that opened on Park Lane. The owner, Ed Bailey, is also a part of Patrizio's, but this location has it's own distinct personality.

When you walk into Bailey's, you are immediately drawn into the warm tones and the absolutely fantastic atmosphere. Bailey's has a bar that is pretty neat, but Katie and I were there for dinner. Through the center of the restaurant, there is a water feature that is complimented by the periodic placement of trees. It is unique and elegant all rolled into one!!


We were seated in a booth. The restaurant was empty when we got there at 5:45, but we did have a celeb spotting a little later on in the evening.

Our waiter was fantastic. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and provided outstanding service. He was definitely a stand-out point of the evening.

We started with the lobster stuffed avocado: two avocado halves, stuffed with cheese and lobster, then chicken fried and served with pico and a lime-cilantro cream sauce - this was to die for. It is very decadent and we were both full by the time the appetizer was done...but we didn't let that stop us.

Katie ordered The Slice, Bailey's version of the Wedge. An iceberg lettuce boat complete with bacon, blue cheese, and heirloom tomatoes, this dish had visual appeal. Katie only moderately liked the salad, but really...how do you follow a fried avocado?

The garlic-cheese biscuits were something we both couldn't stop eating. Served hot with just the right amount of herbs and cheese, these little gems are something you won't be able to stop eating!


I ordered the filet - pepper crusted. This filet was wonderful. It was very tender and just melted when you ate it. Crusted with peppercorns and drizzled with butter, the steak was also served with a Cabernet syrup. Presentation almost exceeded the steak!



We also split the lobster mac and cheese. Big elbow macaroni were combined with 4 different types of cheeses, then topped off with bread crumbs and Vermont white cheddar. The side was rich and had all of the right ingredients...but it was lacking a certain something that would have made it outstanding. Seasoning? Not sure.



The vanilla bean buttermilk panna cotta was our desert selection. The passion fruit gelee and the tropical fruit salsa really made this dessert light and a perfect finish for a steak dinner.

All in all, I think Katie and I loved the atmosphere more than the food. The steak and the avocados were really the big sellers.
I would give it a try if you like new spots!!
