Where Modern Meets Classic, B-Prime New Jersey
B-Prime Steakhouse at Borgata in Atlantic City, NJ is where modern meets classic, offering a fresh twist on the traditional steakhouse experience.
The atmosphere is lively and inviting, with a mix of 80s tunes and current hits setting the stage for a fun, upscale meal. Whether you’re grabbing a drink at the bar or enjoying dinner in the lounge, it’s truly a “cut” above the rest.
Chef Howard Stilianessis brings decades of experience to the kitchen, having worked at top spots like the Venetian Resorts and MGM Aria City Center in Las Vegas. After running his own restaurant in New Jersey, he’s now bringing his culinary expertise back to B-Prime. “Our atmosphere is fun, lively, and contemporary, with a focus on quality.” His approach to the menu is all about knowing where the ingredients come from and how they’re raised, ensuring every dish is fresh, flavorful, and responsibly sourced.
Guests can dive into fan favorites like Tuna Tartare and Wagyu Cheesesteak Bites. The Wagyu ribeye, sliced daily and served with a mix of cheeses, is a melt-in-your-mouth delight! For the ultimate steak experience, try the Delmonico, Rib Cap, or the impressive 42 oz. Tomahawk; big, bold, and full of flavor. Their twist on the classic Cacio e Pepe, featuring a Japanese-style Onsen egg and finished tableside with fresh grated Locatelli Pecorino, is a must-try, according to Stillianessis. For fish lovers, the miso-glazed Chilean sea bass is also a hit. And here’s the real “steak” in the game: B-Prime is now the only spot in New Jersey serving certified Kobe beef.
“We have received certification from the Kobe Beef Marketing and Distribution Promotion Association of Japan, allowing us to provide our guests with this exclusive, premium-quality beef.”
Daniele Mastrangelo, the General Manager at B-Prime Steakhouse, brings a wealth of experience and a lifelong passion for the hospitality industry. His journey began in Italy, where he spent his summers in Campagna with his grandparents, who owned a Pasticceria/Café. “I loved watching the locals play cards and sip espresso.” During his free time, he’d ride his uncle’s Vespa or play pinball in the back of the café. This early exposure to the joy of food and service ignited his passion for the restaurant industry.
Mastrangelo’s career took off in New York City, where he worked with Pino Luongo at Coco Pazzo before spending a decade with Wolfgang Puck and another ten years with Bobby Flay. When B-Prime was set to open, he was thrilled to join the team and be part of the operation from the ground up. At B-Prime, Mastrangelo ensures that guests are welcomed into a contemporary, lively space, with their lounge and bar areas offering their dinner menu all night, providing a welcoming atmosphere.
The cocktail menu at B-Prime features innovative takes on classic drinks. Their signature cocktails include an Old Fashioned made with Heaven’s Door bourbon, refreshing red and white Sangrias, and the unique Gold Strike, which combines American Honey bourbon and fresh honeycomb. The cocktails are inspired by both the seasons and guest feedback: “We aim to create drinks that reflect the time of year and cater to the preferences of our patrons.” Popular ingredients used in the cocktails at B-Prime include passion fruit, sugar cane, honeycomb, and Orgeat-Almond syrup. When asked about his favorite drinks, Mastrangelo shared two go-to cocktails: the Summer Spritz, a refreshing blend of Limoncello, Prosecco, crushed ice, mint, and lemon, perfect for warm weather, and the classic B-Prime Old Fashioned, a drink that “never fails to satisfy.”
Together, Stilianessis and Mastrangelo have created a dynamic dining experience at B-Prime, where high-quality steaks, inventive cocktails, and a lively atmosphere come together to offer guests a memorable, modern twist on the classic steakhouse experience.
