Elite Event At Liberty Prime Steakhouse

I pass Liberty Prime Steakhouse almost everyday but have never ventured to try it. I’m glad these Elite events are exposing me to new places because I would have been missing out on such a great restaurant. The event was a private party held on the second floor to prevent us from disturbing the other diners. It was a little cramped and loud, but very lively and had a great time.
Exciting for all was the open bar attended by Justin the amazing bartender who deserved every tip he received. Accompanying the open bar was a stream of small appetizers and finger foods. Unfortunately no steak, but we were treated to pesto meatballs, tuna tartar on chips, coconut shrimp, sliders, and flat bread pizza. The pesto meatballs were awesome, but must come back one day for the shrimp.
Jersey Elite Unilocalers are one of the nicest bunch of individuals I have had the fortune of meeting. It’s only been my second Elite event but it was great seeing familiar faces again. Best part is I’ve met some really great new Elites also living or working in the Jersey City area.
Thanks to Steph for organizing and I’m really grateful that she allowed +1’s. I know a larger crowd is harder to handle, but I’m happy to have been able to share the Unilocal elite experience with my friend. As great as it was being able to meet new Unilocalers and sampling free food and drink, the main goal of the event was to help the relatively new restaurant gain more exposure. I hope this event has greatly added to the business of Liberty Prime Steakhouse.

A little late but must review — had SO much fun! Another awesome event by Steph and with the fab Jersey Elites!
Thank you Liberty Prime and Justin the bartender! Thank you to the waitress to whom I made an offhand comment about loving the meatballs, who made sure to pass by us with a fresh tray. The staff were all very nice and the space is really cool; I like that you can kind of move freely between the restaurant and bar.
Drinks: Great selection of wines and beers.
Food: The pesto meatballs were everything. White pizza was stellar, yes more please. Some people are complaining there was no steak but I recall a yummy fillet and mushroom crostini. Coconut shrimp much elevated by the fresh mango salsa. Arancini and salmon tartare, I’ll pass.
Peeps: I didn’t mingle as much as I usually do (sorry!) but still got to see and meet some great folks! Jeanna G. and Kristina S., so fun and adorable! Great time talking to you guys. And I finally got to meet Lori L!!!
Thanks to Unilocal i’m becoming more familiar with places in Downtown JC and will be keeping this spot in my back pocket for date nights.

Awesome event! Loved the meatballs. Pizza with truffle oil was pretty great too… but isnt anything with truffle oil? The staff was very friendly and the restaurant was so generous with the food and drinks. Thanks to Steph for putting on a great event. I work not too far from here, so hopefully I can come back sometime soon.

Awesome elite event compliments of Steph and the great folks at Liberty Prime!
The upstairs spot was clutch. Great view and the perfect amount of space. Some booths/​tables, some high tops, but since there was a generous offering of open bar majority of the crowd was located at the bar.
Got to meet some new peeps including some Unilocalers at their first elite event! Got to chillax with some Unilocalers who are now old friends. Had a some good laughs while sharing stories of recent trips (and falls… Talking about you Matchell), learned that it’s cold in San Fran right about now, got to hear a very familiar story of some punk getting Krav Maga-​ed at a pizza parlor, and as usual tons of restaurant and bar recommendations shared by the best of the best!
The assortment of grub was great! They offered a little bit of everything, but sadly one important item was not present– steak! The truffle and cheese pizza was extremely savory and tasty– I wanted to ask for a whole pie to go. The salmon ceviche was fresh, but I wouldn’t mind seeing a little kick added to it. Loved the presentation! My favorite were the risotto balls. All in all standard bar food.
The bartenders and waiters were super friendly and made it a good time. Thanks again Steph!

This was indeed a great event!
The service was on point throughout the night. And the bartender really knew how to take take care of his bar.
From the food selection we got too sample:
–The pesto meatballs were a definite favorite. I could eat countless numbers of these tastey little balls. For reals.
–The white truffle pizza. Well u cant really go wrong with white truffle pizza. Very tastey indeed.
–The sliders. Looked very unimpressive but was amazed at how juicy and well cooked they were after I sank my teeth into them.
–The coconut shrimp. Pass. Was not a fan of these.
The space was comfortable and the event was filled with just the right amount of people. Would I come back here again to try there steaks? Thats a good question. Do they have a good scotch selection? Also a good question which just forgot to look.
I am very curious too see how the steaks are. It seems like a steak house that you could get away with spending under 100 $ a head considering the draft beers are only three doll hairs. If their food is as good as their service. This is definatly a place to check out.

I think I missed out on the good stuff. I didn’t know they served salmon, risotto, sliders, or white truffle pizza! I tried the two types of shrimp and a meatball. To be honest, the food didn’t stand out to me. However, their house wines were delicious! I really enjoyed their Merlot and Pinot Noir.

5 stars. …no 10 stars
Upon entering this Elite event at Liberty Prime Steakhouse
1. This isn’t the normal «cigar smoking while reading a leather bound book» Steakhouse.
2. Instead it’s contemporary and massive.
3. So Massive, Almost missed Mac handing out name badges. He is so thin now. Huh, Where did he go?
4. I can’t wait to try the steak.
5. Forget the Steak — — — - OPEN BAR!
6. Tried so Many beers, Magic hat was perfect for the night.
7. Wait, Steak was there the Mushroom/​Filet Mignon on toasted bread stole the show.
8. So many conversations especially the Street Fighter wanting his pizza, he just wants his pizza. Man! But, the best story of the night Goes to Mitchell M. titled «The Slippery Slipper Runner»
In the end this was a wicked event. Stephanie put in some hard work to get us to see a new spot. So, I am happy I got to take a peek. Otherwise I would have never knew this place existed. Thanks Stephanie for a great night.
After Party?
Nul.

Great event.
The beer & wine open bar was very generous of Liberty Prime. Thank you for that. The space upstairs got a little cramped around the bar area, but that was primarily because of the amount of appetizers continually being passed in that area… oh yeah, and it was open bar. White truffle pizza was ridiculous. Also, tried the sliders, shrimp, and salmon ceviche. All good.
Lively crew of Unilocalers in attendance. Conversation topics definitely had a wide range… from pizza parlor beat downs to equal rights for women to the ridiculous amount of times I have checked into both Sam A.M. and WSh.
Would give this event 5-​stars, but my hype-​man, Andre N. said that I only right positive, nice reviews… and he mocked me using that ‘nerdy white guy voice.’ For that I’m dropping a star. See Andre. That’s what happens. Not all kittens and roses over here.
All bad humor aside… Thanks Steph, Liberty Prime, & NJ Elite for another fun event.

Four stars for the lively crew of Unilocalers at this event just chatting it up and enjoying themselves (and the open beer and wine bar provided by Liberty Steakhouse)! I had both beer (cherry wheat) and wine (Pinot noir) and I enjoyed it both equally, so thanks LSH!
However, the food wasn’t very fascinating. I mean, I wouldn’t rush to LSH anytime soon. Now, if I wanted beer and wine and there was NO OTHER PLACE around then I would reluctantly walk into LSH but otherwise I wouldn’t. Nothing about the coconut shrimp (overwhelmingly sweet– there is such a thing as unsweetened coconut), mushroom crostini, slider (tiny burger), or meatball was worth writing home to momma about. Yep– nothing no steak. How are you a steak house and you offered no steak? That doesn’t make any sense. So why would I come back? I wouldn’t. So that defeats the purpose right? Blah.
Awesome set-​up Steph! Unfortunately there was no steak for me to try and as the steak lover that I am I don’t see myself coming here! Boo Hoo. Great event though.

I had a great time here at Liberty Prime Steakhouse last night. Very conveniently located close to path and restaurant has a pretty good decoration very clean and modern. This place has changed names a few times and I believe Liberty Prime has only been open 9 months and from the reviews and my experience last night definitely a good place in my experience.
Last night we had the upper floor all to ourselves with very friendly bartenders serving great wine and beer for drinks and many variety of appetizers flowing around. My favorite were the sliders and the salmon tartare. I was surprised to see a steak place has such fresh fish served raw. They definitely didn’t skimp on the food as I see the servers constantly going up and down the stairs to satisfy all of the Unilocalers at the restaurant.
I had a good time catching up with some familiar faces I haven’t met in a while and I definitely like the happy hour feel where we can all mingle around not feel like tied to our tables. So all in all a great event and thanks to Stephanie for organizing awesome events as wells and Andrew and his staff for hosting us.

Shout outs to Liberty Prime and Steph for organizing another smashing success! In the words of Kevin Durant, «You da real MVP».
The venue did a really good job of making sure everyone had a sample of the hors d’oeuvres. The salmon, shrimp, juicy sliders, white truffle pizza, rissotto were all great and best of all, readily available. However the dish that stood above the rest was the pesto meat balls. Perfect bite sized portion and great flavor, just what I want in an appetizer.
The upstairs bar area was spacious enough to accommodate everyone comfortably, no being packed in like sardines! Justin the bar tender was fun and friendly. He also had great bar awareness despite the crowd. I don’t think I saw anyone have to wait for a drink for fight for his attention. Did I mention the event had an open bar? Harpoon, Brooklyn Summer, Magic Hat Elder Berry, among a few others were on tap.
Meeting New Unilocalers + Good Food + Beer = Good Times.

1^st Unilocal Elite Event!
Can you tell that I’m excited? I had a wonderful time last night. Steph and Liberty Prime Steakhouse put a great event together. It was my first time at the venue and it was awesome! We were located up on the second floor, and I loved that we had a view of the entire restaurant below us.
This event featured a bunch of Unilocal swag (keychains, fans, and wristbands) scattered on the table tops. There was a draft beer and wine open bar, with barely any wait to get drinks. The bartender was very attentive and friendly.
The passed hors d’oeuvres were an awesome touch! The waiters were very good about passing out the food at different ends of the room to make sure that everyone was able to sample the food. I tasted two varieties of coconut shrimp (one with mango and one with a spicy sauce), a risotto ball, salmon tartare, a beef slider, white truffle pizza, and the fabulous mouth-​watering meatball! The meatball was by far my favorite of all the things I tasted. The truffle was a great touch on the pizza too.
I was able to try most of the offerings, with the exception of one of the pizzas and the filet mignon /​mushroom app on toasted bread. I was really looking forward to that one, but they always walked right by. Oh well, guess that means I’ll have to go back to Liberty Prime to try that one. My husband and I were really impressed with the event and venue. We’re already talking about heading there for dinner or Happy Hour in the future.
Thanks again Steph and Liberty Prime Steakhouse!

Yet again another amazing event put together by Steph Y and Liberty Prime Steakhouse! We were unfortunately stuck in my favorite thing in the world TRAFFIC for an hour before arriving late to the event which blew but we made the best of the situation. Next time we will not be tardy for the party ;)
The Unilocal event was held upstairs and provided us with our own bar which included free beer and wine. (awesome!). We went over to the bar to grab a drink and mingle with some of our fellow Unilocalers. I made two new friends tonight which was awesome sup Stan L and Kelly C! As we were yapping around came some appetizers like the salmon tartar on a potato chip, coconut shrimp two ways one with mango salsa and the other with a spicy sauce, mini burgers (tasted amazing), the pork and beef meat balls with pesto and a tiny toasted round was my favorite and very flavorful. Apparently we missed a few because of us being late such as the steak and mushroom yumminess I’m seeing in pictures along with the pizza and risotto balls. The food that we did eat was really amazing and I cant wait to come and try this place out for dinner.
This was a different event than I’ve been to before more social and allowed me to really mingle with my fellow Unilocalers. Loved it can’t wait for the next Unilocal event!

Another awesome Unilocal elite event organized by Steph Y and Liberty Prime Steakhouse. Thanks for letting me and my friends participate :).
Unilocal elites had the whole upstairs of the restaurant to ourselves and our own bar area. Wish my group didn’t get here late but we were stuck in traffic on 139. We missed the risotto balls and filet mignon but made it in time for the coconut shrimp, pork meatballs, pizza, sliders and salmon. The food was really good! I will have to come back here for the steak. I was really looking forward to it since this place is a steakhouse after all.
The bar had Harpoon IPA, Blue Moon, Coors Light, Sierra Nevada, Sam Adams Lager and Cherry Wheat and more. All beer and wine was complimentary! Awesome! Didn’t try the wine so I can’t comment on it.
This event was more social than some of the other events I’ve been to because everyone was mingling in the bar area and there were a lot of us. I made two new friends. Shout out to STAN L and KELLY C! :D

This was another great Unilocal event put on by Steph and the awesome NJ restaurant community. I was able to introduce one of my friends to Unilocal eliteness and while I probably did a poor job of explaining it, it was still cool to hopefully convince someone to start reviewing. There were passed appetizers and beer and wine. There wasn’t one dish that stood out to me in particular but everything was pretty solid and I enjoyed everything I tried which included coconut and mango shrimp, meatballs, sliders, and shrimp with chili sauce and perhaps other stuff I’ve forgotten. I met a few Unilocal friends i had seen at previous events as well as some I had never met in person before. Overall, another enjoyable Unilocal event. Thank you Unilocal New Jersey, Steph, and Liberty Prime Steakhouse!

Great fun! Enjoyed great sliders, coconut shrimp, yummy meatballs and who could deny the absolute greatness of free drank??? Popped my elite cherry! Met some amazing people! Steph definitely knows how to throw a party!

Lions, tigers, & bears, oh my was replaced with…
Coconut shrimp, sliders, and pizza, oh my!
Every Elite Unilocal Event should be a minimum of 3 hours. At the 2 hour event, I was able to:
— Butt joust with another person for a bar seat
— Crush 5 pints of Blue Moons while convincing my wife that I only drank 3
— Realize that I need to Unilocal more because I only recognized 15% of the folks in the room
The mango coconut shrimp were solid, I didn’t reject many sliders, and pizza left next to me turned me into a Ninja Turtle. Awesome time out — thanks Yo Steph!

Another excellent representation of why NJ Elite Unilocalers simply know how to do it better than the rest.
Beer me once, relaxation after a long day at work.
Beer me twice, now we’re really loosened up.
Beer me thrice, HEY look at the keychains on the table — signs to play with — let’s take pictures.
Beer me for the fourth time, and now we’re really getting somewhere. I really hope it’s Friday…
Beers were complemented with wandering food items — we got sliders (yum) and coconut shrimp (excellent), a little more SWAG for my collection, and in what felt like just as much time as it took me to get here and park… the event was over.
Alas, another JC restaurant that I probably never would have stumbled upon has made it on my list. So much so that I jumped on the opportunity to explore the place a little more… and stayed for dinner to check out just how prime this place is.
A requisite shout out to Steph for organizing another lovely local suaré that once again shows me I needn’t stay in Manhattan for good food & drink after a long day at work.
