    Excellent meal! Beautiful night out with my family for the holidays! With 8 people I think we had everything on the menu. Each meal was prepared to perfection. I think the bacon was better than Peter Luger’s. The french onion soup was a hit as was the wedge salad and Caesar salad. Chef prepared the steak and seafood perfectly. Everything was fresh! The staff was friendly and attentive; great wine list and I would highly recommend Benjamin’s. I was not disappointed!

    Food was great, service on the other hand, I felt like I was at a diner. Waiter never introduced himself. He gave us our menus and walked away. When he returned he took our drink order, appetizer and meal selection all at once. You felt rushed. The food was timed out as the evening progressed. The waiter did look to see if we were ok but never came and asked if we needed anything else until dessert. The music choice for a steakhouse was quite comical. It varied from The Bee Gees to Elton John, Billy Joel, Sting, great music but not relaxing for dining. My son and I just laughed because we weren’t sure if we were suppose to dance at times or sing a long. It was an odd setting for a nice steakhouse. I would not return but the food was very good.

    This is the 3rd time we have gone here during our visits to NYC. First time was on a whim due to an unpleasant experience at another steakhouse during a previous visit. Steaks were great as were the scallops. Plenty of choices for appetizers, salads and sides. They will accommodate reasonable requests. Not as nostalgic as Peter Luger’s, Gallagher’s or Frankie and Johnnie’s but the service and steaks are as good if not better. It is a little pricy but that seems to be the norm for NYC steakhouses. Interior is more of a modern vibe with a nice open bar area and tables well spaced. Good wine list covering most desires. House choices for wines are also very good. Will likely go back again the next time we are in NYC.

    Friendly attentive service. Surf and turf was wonderfully prepared and presented. Sides, especially lobster mac & cheese, were also wonderful. Outstanding wine list. Manager Victor stopped by and made us feel most welcome!
