“Just what we need!” was the snide reaction to word that Ken Oringer’s latest project, KO Prime, would be yet another steakhouse. Another meatery, even a “modern” one, simply wasn’t what Boston lacked.

Or was it? Like celeb chefs in New York and L.A., Oringer has created a steakhouse that’s in touch with its feminine side. Yes, the usuals are here: the Flintstones-size rib-eye and, for the really macho, the $30-an-ounce cut of Wagyu. But it’s the other stuff that sets KO apart, like the cowgirl-chic décor, a dainty crab-and-grapefruit salad, and chichi sides like the oh-so-à-la-mode aligote potatoes, which stretch like taffy. Early on, not every riff was in key, but we’re betting it’s only a matter of time before the delicate pea tendrils in Asian vinaigrette become a steakhouse classic.

Gazillion-thread-count sheets aside, a hotel is really only as good as its bar. And chichi steakhouse KO Prime has admirably elevated...

Had dinner with my wife at the new KO Prime. It was just as good as I remember Spire to be. Our server Melissa was amazing. The ribeye was a little tough, but the mint mouse - outstanding! We can't wait to go back.
