Start to finish, this was one of the best meals out I've had in a long time. Inventive and creative but with a solid foundation, great wine list, fantastic service and really reasonably priced. Zero retention and just overall a great time

Although it was a bit tough to get in contact with Widgetpack, once I did they really did a great job in assisting me and fixing the problem I was experiencing. Very thankful they helped me out with this and followed through. Thank you Widgetpack!

Excellent service! And meat & fish cooked to perfection. Nice lively ambiance on a Saturday night, relaxed yet classy. They even accommodated to our +1 friend. Reservation recommended.

My wife and I went this past Friday to celebrate her birthday and we had a great time. First time in NYC and this was the first restaurant experience we encountered and I will say Ricky (server) set the bar for great customer service experience. I have been telling all of my colleagues who frequently travel to NYC to check the place out. I will definitely return next time in NYC.

This is an up market restaurant so be prepared to not be in a hurry, eat very well and for what it's worth, have a good credit balance on your card. I found the service to be impeccable, well coordinated and the servers appeared motivated and engaged. We were a large group and they got all our orders right. Summary: the food was fabulous and the ambience amazing.

I was recommended this place by a friend and I thought I'd give it a try. The service was excellent, the food was delicious and my steak was cooked perfectly. The wine recommendations that the manager gave us were excellent. Overall it was very good. I'll definitely be back soon.

Great wine list, amazing food, awesome staff. You will never have to send anything back, the steaks are always cooked to the temperature you request. You must also try the lamb chops. Definitely top 3 steakhouses in NYC.

Great steak house. New York Steaks are famous and I think this place serves really good one. We ordered the porter house for two. It was delicious, the meat melt in your mouth. There is a distinct difference between NY steak and famous wagyu. But I still prefer NT steak for it's firm texture and yet not tough. It's a bit pricey here but if you want a good steak this place will not disappoint you.

It's always a pleasure to dine here. The staff is always attentive and flexible, and makes everyone feel welcome. The thick cut bacon is a must. Our server was kind enough to suggest dicing a small portion for my group of smaller eaters. We ordered a variety of steaks and they were done as expected. Prices are similar to all the great steakhouses in NY. It's a great place to entertain visitors.

This place served me the best steak I have ever had. The rib eye steak filled the plate alone. With a drink and dessert expect to spend $85ish but believe me. Best money you will spend for a meal. Service and food exceptional. Plus it is quiet and spacious.

The best steakhouse ! This is really the top of the line by all means- The service, the fresh excellent food, the right wine pairing to the divine porterhouse steak we had. The Benjamin salad with the delicious crab meat was a great starter as well so was the cream brûlée.. 🙂

I went with my husband for dinner, we ordered rib eye steak with vegetable and steak fries sides, in addition to ceasar salad for sharing. The steak was really good and cooked medium-well perfectly! The salad was delicious as well, the fries can be better. But what really made me give this restaurant a 5 star rating is not only the food but the service as well! John was our table's waiter he is very friendly and helped us with ordering the correct portions, food took relatively short time to be ready. All in all I strongly recommend this place.

I can not express to you the top notch service, atmosphere, and o yeah the steaks and 3lb lobster.... I'm a steak person my wife seafood.. This place is a step above the rest... When you see your fillet mignon completely cut with a spoon due to tenderness and just the right temperature you know your in the right steak house!!!! The lobster melt in your mouth.... Ask for Ricky at your table for service... He was outstanding professional and he sent us out after dinner to a great rooftop club bar recommendation... Can't say enough... Any trip to the city this place is a must!! It's more than just dinner it's an experience...

I would love to share my experience with Benjamin Steakhouse! First of all amazing staff, very friendly, helpful and fast! We ordered steak with some vegetables on the side, and it was simply amazing! The whole meal looked so professionaly done and this place have a feeling that you are in a top high-end steak house! Probably because it is haha! Anyway looking forward to come back to this place!

This is a classic steakhouse with great food. You won't be disappointed by the food here as long as you can afford it. Mike many high end steakhouses, the drinks and food are expensive but you get what you pay for. Loved this place!

Excellent service. The waiter came to our table 1 minute after we sat down and got us water and appetizer bread. He let us eat for a little while then took our order and the food only took about 15 minutes and he brought it to us. He was also taking care of 4-5 other tables and was being very professional with them. At the end he offered us desert but didn’t push us to get any. Very professional. Food was delicious and reasonably priced.

Excellent steaks! I eat in Benjamin’s every NYC trip. I always start with a dozen blue point oysters then move to the steak with creamless spinach. Cheese cake for dessert is also great!
Ella Zhang

The stark was great! The outside of steak and the cooking are what we want! The vegetables and side dishes are delicious, making the steak a higher level. The desert is nice as the cake store, remembering to try! Really recommend this steakhouse. Mike is nice and you can ask any question about the steak and he will recommend you what you want.

This is a really great steakhouse. Waitstaff extremely attentive and friendly. Food is very good. A bit pricey, but good. It is to be expected for a steakhouse in this area. My ribeye was cooked to my liking and the steak sauce that is on the table is very tasty. The onion soup had great flavor. I will definitely come back again...I need to try the lamb since a co-worker recommended it.
Mary Gaffney

Seriously great steaks and fresh from the ocean seafood. Served with the tastiest side dishes. A wine list for all tastes and scrumptious desserts. Not forgetting the most professional staff I have been served by. I will be going back again and again.

I came in Wednesday night for dinner for my dads 50th birthday because of the many great reviews I saw online. I sat at a booth and ordered the rib eye with creamed spinach it was AMAZING. Not only was the food outstanding my server Danny made my dads birthday very special. He sang for us and made us feel so welcome. Def will come back again because of the food and our server.

Don’t forget the fish dishes even though steak is prime in the name. It’s a full service operation, extremely well run and worth the high prices. One of the best trained staffs I’ve ever seen.

Came here for dinner when a colleague from our of the country was in town. This upscale steak house has a great atmosphere. There is an extensive wine list, an average beer list to be noted here however. We shared a T-Bone steak for two, With side.Perfectly portioned and cooked to perfection. Service here was great. Overall, an amazing place to bring a customer, show appreciation to their business, or bring your partner for an anniversary. Just make sure you bring your wallet.

The burger was good. The hightop bar seats were fine for intimate conversation. The bartender was inattentive, which is being kind. This was an evening during the week so it was steady, but not crazy busy.

Benjamin Steakhouse is fabulous! My husband and I typically order the steak for two which is served on a sizzling hot plate with some bubbling brown butter, yum! For valentine's this year we had the lamb chops instead and they were to die for. We eat out a lot and all over the country and we keep coming back to Benjamin over and over. Atmosphere is dim and cozy, service is on point.

Went to Benjamin’s this past weekend and we’re in awe of the service and food. We had a waiter named Ronnie and he was the best waiter we have ever had at any restaurant. The steak was beyond delicious. Will absolutely be back and will highly recommend to others

The portions are huge, so large in fact that I accidentally ordered too much food. For example, the 6 piece shrimp cocktail is almost enough for two people, biggest shrimp I've seen in my life. And do try the Canadian bacon, one of the most unique dishes I've seen. I got a rare ribeye as the main course, no problem there. Steak sauce was also fantastic. One of my friends got the rack of lamb which I was also very envious of. My only real problem was with the cutlery. The steak knives were not serrated, and the blades were comically dull. I thought maybe it was just me but everyone at my table noticed it. It really took away from the experience, such a high end restaurant completely neglecting the cutlery required for consuming their flagship dishes, and having to saw endlessly at your steak to get a piece off to the point that you desecrate the meat. I hope that next time I come back they might have some better knives, because I greatly enjoyed the food and look forward to returning.

This place is just wonderful. The atmosphere in the restaurant makes you feel warm and cozy. The quality of food is perfect and has a variety of wines for reasonable prices. Service was polite and very welcoming. I recommend getting the mouthwatering slab of charred canadian bacon and the fillet. You also should make reservations as this place is jam-packed.

Amazing stakes, really delicious. The atmosphere is nothing special, a bit too casual I think for the level of expectation of a place like this. Service is good, quite fast and friendly. It is worth the visit and experience the food.

The food was fantastic! I had the NY Strip stake, rare and it was incredible! Perfectly prepared and perfectly complemented by the Malbec. Tables were nicely spaced and the ambience perfect for dinner and conversation with family and friends. Been to plenty of steak houses around the country and this is by far the best. Happy that it's in my backyard so will definitely be returning.

Extremely happy with this restaurant. Excellent service with incredible attention (which was especially important as our wine was not able to be kept at the table and we required regular refills). The steak was amazing, we had the porterhouse with sides to share. The sides I was not as happy with, but I went for steak and barely had room for them anyway! Why not 5 stars, mainly due to the chaotic nature of the place. Our table was next to highly utilized stairs and was loud overall, not a romantic atmosphere for sure. They never rushed us which is major at a busy place, an overall great time!

Exceptional in every way. Service was outstanding, food was delicious and the atmosphere was friendly and comfortable. We appreciated the manager Mario taking the time to talk with us and ensure our meals were prepared to perfection. Loved the Carrot Cake, truly decadent. Well worth a return visit!

Excellent food and service. If you are looking for a great steak place, this is it! Personally I had the Chilean Sea Bass, which was awesome. My only critique is that the noise level is high! Definitely make reservations.

Had an early dinner, kept it simple rib eye steak, baked potato and a glass of wine. The steak was amazing, full of taste and exactly medium as requested. The potato was simple and good and the wine delicious. Staff was very attentive and pleasant.Including the tip I paid $100 which is quite a lot for a one course meal, even though it was very good. I if you are around, early dinner time am a good time to pop in for an amazing steak!

I had a steak sandwich here for lunch. WOW. I almost ordered another one. It was perfectly done, juicy, enough seasoning ... it was just right. The place has high ceilings, felt spacious and it was fully packed at the time we went for lunch. My female colleague later commented "Did you notice I [she] was the only woman customer there?" I don't know what that means, but I say go try the steak.

Wonderful place to grab a fancy dinner before watching a show on Broadway. The fillet mignon was a perfectly cooked medium, full of flavor. My daughter loved the French onion soup as well as the steak. It was definitely a great addition to our evening.

One of my favorite steaks in New York(and I’ve tried a lot of them). Very similar to the flavors you would get at Peter Lugers, except they dress the atmosphere up a bit and offer a little more diversity on the menu. I look forward to returning again next time I’m craving a steak and a nice bottle of wine.

Amazing Staff, Amazing Food, & Overall an Amazing Experience. There is no need to go to any other steakhouse in NY when there is Benjamins. If you have not heard of this place you are living under a rock...most well known celebrities & politicians also choose Benjamin's over any other Top Dining Restaurant in NY because of what you get in Service & Quality. Try this place out for yourself and you will see what I'm talking about. Ask for Ricky and he will take care of you.

Beware that there are two Benjamin’s in the same block this one and on the other side there is Benjamin Prime which has a more modern look and feel and has more cuts for choice and more seafood.This place looks more like a typical ny steakhouse than Benjamin Prime. The meat is good however There is better if you want old style Keens is still great and if you want modern try Quality meats.

Benjamin is your good classic steak house with dark woodwork everywhere. I was here for lunch and while there steaks are good we both had fish. The branzino and the tuna were both excellent as was the wedge and garden salads.

Proposed to my fiancee here and just HAD to write a review after to say thank you! I told the hostess when I made the reservation that I was *maybe* going to propose if the stars were aligned, and they clearly took that to heart! Warm greeting, promptly seated at a beautiful table, the server was attentive and friendly and really helped lay the atmosphere on. Manager checked in on us regularly, somm kept my girl laughing with jokes and great wine recs. I ended up working up the courage and popped the question after our main courses after we placed our dessert order (she said yes obviously, thank god), and they ended up bringing us a candle in it as a congrats! Offered to take pictures etc. Super cute. Of course the food was amazing, but the service was what really made the night so special. THANK YOU a million Benjamin's!

Superb steakhouse. Steak for 2, 3, 4 & table nearby was 9 people with large platters filled with porterhouse steaks looked amazing! I couldn't pass on their rack of lamb & hubs had filet- thick & perfectly cooked. This is high level restaurant with outstanding service. Marriott Marquis suggested it & was perfect tip.

Food is important but, let's be honest, how you were treated is what you will remember long after. And when it comes to the staff and how they treat customers, this may be the best restaurant in Manhattan.

Came from Scotland for a 8 day break, stayed in Park Avenue, we went to Benjamin after reading the reviews, it was just around the corner from our hotel, the waiter was very helpful and good on the food advice without being overbearing, we had the baked clams as starter, Ribeye on the bone with creamed spinach, sauteed mushrooms and mash potato, the steak was cooked to perfection (medium/well), i would say it is the best steak i have ate, i have travelled round the world and have ate many steaks, it was a pleasure eating here and my 2 guests were very impressed....Thanks

Had a fantastic birthday dinner for my wife. Food was superb and expertly prepared (crab cakes, wedge, ribeye, 2lb lobster and peas and onions) and the server John was attentive without being overbearing — and gave us a very good wine recommendation. They us and especially my wife feel special by bringing out a birthday creme brûlée with a candle. The care and ambiance you get from other high end steakhouses without the crazy expensive prices and huffy service. Highly recommend.

Went with a client to the sister place Prime last spring for a business dinner so decided to try the original for a date night with the wife. Had to write a review because it was such an exceptional experience.First off, the service was great. Friendly hostess and coat check team greeted us. Started with wine at the bar (fun bar staff too), and when it was time to be seated a friendly manager came to get us and carried our wine glasses. He pulled out my wife's chair, which she loved. Basically everything you'd expect from a fine dining steakhouse. The server was wonderful, super fun and had a great rapport with both of us. Helped us through the menu when my wife couldn't choose and was positive and upbeat the whole time. Made us feel special and cared for, which I'm sure takes a lot of professionalism at such a busy restaurant when the guy had lots of other tables to attend.The food was everything we hoped for. Started with a round of oysters (top quality). We decided to share the porterhouse for two, and it was definitely the best steak either of us have eaten. Perfectly cooked, tender, so delicious. The creamed spinach was rich but complex, delicious and a perfect texture and temperature. Big enough portion for us to split. Ended with the creme brulee (wife's fave). Very happy with everything. No complaints. Will definitely be back!

What is there not to love?! I love steak and Benjamin's most definitely is "a cut above the rest". Everything I've tried each time I've been there I've absolutely enjoyed. Everyone I introduce Benjamin's to absolutely raves about it. The steak is always perfection. Their bacon so good!!! Shrimp cocktail fresh and delicious. Their sides, so yummy!! Service, attentive and welcoming. My #1 in the city.

The filet I had was very good, and a large portion. Appetizers and drinks were great. The service was attentive. The decor was as the description states, sort of a ‘clubby’ feel, which I like. The prices were high, but about what you’d expect in a NYC steakhouse that is a stones throw from Grand Central. My only criticism of this place is that it is extremely noisy (we went on a Thursday night). I mean, you can barely hear your dinner companions speak over the noise and everyone has to talk very loudly to be heard at the table. I would go back, but only for the right occasion - one that didn’t require a lot of conversation or intimacy. Because wow it is loud!

If you have a beef for places that have zero beef, well this place has the beef. Beef, it's what's for dinner. Great family fun atmosphere. You will love their large menu and generous portions. Aweomse appetizers.

Stopped in early one evening to eat and kill some time before our next appointment. The food was great. The atmosphere was top notch. The staff was helpful and attentive, but never pushy like you sometimes get in NY. I’m glad we found it.

Unlike some restaurants where the food and service suffers during Hudson Valley Restaurant Week, Benjamin's didn't disappoint me and my wife. We both started out with the lobster bisque which had big chunks of lobster in it and was out of this world! I had NY sirloin for my main and my wife (who isn't a huge steak eater) had the chicken parm. You wouldn't think a steakhouse would be known for its chicken parm but my wife devoured it and said it was one of the best she's ever had--which is big coming from an Italian woman! My steak was as delicious and savory as it always is at Benjamin's. For dessert I had the chocolate mousse and my wife had the carrot cake and we split both of them. We were stuffed by the time dessert came but still managed to finish every last crumb on our plates. If you're interested in going to a restaurant for Hudson Valley week I would 100% recommend Benjamin's Steakhouse!

Came here on a date night with my fiance as I work in the city, and definitely glad I tried it! We'll probably come back some time closer to the holidays; I feel like the elegant vibe would be really beautiful in winter, especially with rockefeller center within walking distance. We both had steaks, and they were superb. I've never had dry-aged steak before, and I think it might be my new favorite. Their wine list was enormous and very impressive, and the wine the manager suggested for us to pair was incredible!

We went to enjoy the last night in New York and had fabulous time. Recommendation of wine was great and serving of the waiter was fantastic as well. No need for words on steaks - best steak I've ever had - and our server Tony was the epic this restaurant! His service from beginning till the end was fascinating, making the Benjamin's best restaurant in my life ever. Certainly recommend this restaurant to everyone and definitely will pay a visit again soon! Thank you for giving me wonderful experience!

I was treated to a surprise birthday dinner and what a great experience. Staff is super attentive and the Ribeye was the best steak I've ever had. It covered the entire plate and was like butter from start to finish. After returning home I ordered steaks from their online store and found the service to be equally as good as in the restaurant. Can't wait to go back!

After having a pleasant experience at one of the sister restaurants, Benjamin Prime, my sister and I took my father here for Father's Day. They had a prix fixe menu for the day and I ended up ordering the shrimp cocktail, rack of lamb, and mashed potatoes. My sister and dad ordered crab cakes, the sirloin, salmon, creamed spinach and broccoli. We ended up all sharing bites of all the food and everything was delicious. The rack of lamb was to die for!! We all ordered the chocolate mousse for dessert which was also very yummy. Even though it was a busy day the service was great and the server was very attentive. My father really enjoyed his meal and a delicious steak was a great way to treat him for father's day 🙂

Visited Benjamin Steakhouse for Father's Day dinner and overall a wonderful dining experience. Our party of four had reservations and we were seated immediately. The waiters were courteous and after giving us a few minutes to settle in they came back for a drink order. We asked about wine selection and the waiter provided a wine list. We were going to get two 1/2 bottles for the four of us (Chardonnay and Cabernet) but the waiter recommended some full bottles for the same price. Quality of both the wines he recommended was excellent, and a better value. We ordered off the special menu for Father's Day, we selected lobster bisque, crab cake, and wedge salad and all three were delicious. For the main course we ordered NY Strip Sirloin and Bone-in Rib Eye (two each) and they were cooked to perfection though the rib. We each chose a different side so we shared family style, home fries, broccoli, mushrooms, and creamed spinach. Everything was cooked perfectly and the portions were more than enough. Desserts (Key Lime Pie and Chocolate Mousse Cake) were fine, nothing special.The atmosphere was comfortable, a bit noisy but considering how busy they were it was fine. The only reason I am not giving five stars is the waiter seemed to forget about us a few times. It was great that they didn't rush us through the meal, but it took a while for him to take our food order and it also took a while to get our check. But it's a minor quibble as we did enjoy the meal and the experience.

What makes a steakhouse great depends on three things: The food, the service, and the atmosphere. Benjamin Steakhouse is worth visiting because of its marvelous execution of these three categories. A well-balanced mix of culinary brilliance, impeccable service, and a well fitting atmosphere provides you with with a memorable dining experience. Benjamin Steakhouse features an extensive menu that goes beyond just steak for any individual's unique sort of taste. Me and my boyfriend have been coming here once a month for the past two years and have tried multiple things on the menu. Every dish they serve is impeccable from the seafood to the steaks. When you go to Benjamin’s you are treated like royalty. From the moment you walk in and until the moment you leave the workers are extremely attentive and caring. Everyone is polite, showing that they truly want you to have an enjoyable dining experience. Johnny, one of the managers, is the best. His mannerism and care and will ensure you have the best time here. Food here is not cheap, but it is well worth the price. If you were expecting steak at a cheap price in New York City; maybe Outback Steakhouse would be a better choice. Benjamin Steakhouse offers great food, attentive service and a wonderful atmosphere for a multitude of occasions. I highly recommend trying them.

What a great experience!Came here with a few friends for a late birthday celebration and we couldn't be more satisfied. The steak was cooked to perfection and the creamed spinach was probably the best we've had. Service was impeccable and the ambiance was very classy. Highly recommended.

It's always delightful and adventurous to sit in the dining room, or upstairs overlooking, that's for starters. The waiters are most impeccable regarding their appearance, attitude and menu aptitude. Then, of course the food is cooked to perfection...and if by chance it's not, it will be remedied in less than 5 minutes. Ask for Ben to stop over to your table and if he's there... he will.

A must visit for any steak lover. No wonder this is one of the top rated restaurants in the city. The decor of the place was wonderful, the service was flawless, and staff was courteous (sometime not the case for top notch places).I visited this place twice in the past two months. Once with a date and once with a group of raunchy employees.And then their FOOD is just delicious. Best steak and lamb chops in town.

Simply the best steakhouse in New York City. I have been to them all and there are many fine steakhouses in the City. However, Benjamin's is my favorite. The steaks are superb. The service is excellent. The wine list is top notch and the room is classy and cool. Just go and thank me later.

Having traveled most of this country on business, and eating at some wonderful restaurants, Benjamin's Steakhouse NYC is by far the best. Not only are the steaks exceptional, but the service is beyond anything I've ever experienced. Naturally I've been recommending Benjamin's for several years now to my friends and clients from Saks fifth avenue. The staff and owners have always treated me like family. BTW their other restaurants including the sea fire grill and prime are just as good.

This place is home to me. We come here nearly every weekend and have been to most major steakhouses in the city. The service is always top notch and friendly. Best porterhouse steak, black and blue. The surf and turf is also incredible. A wonderful experience that isn't too packed with annoying tourists. A true New York experience to call home.

I became a loyal patron very fast. Benjamin himself was, and remains, very welcoming and has chosen his staff well, from his own mold. They strive for my enjoyment each and every meal and I have observed them doing the same for other customers. It helps that their steak is among the best I've eaten. They pay up at their suppliers, dry age their beef properly, and know how to cook it with simplicity to honor a wonderful steak. Sides are good, conventional steakhouse fare. Their dry-aged burger is the best version in town. I ate a huge lobster there once and it was also very good so bring your pescatarian friends (not so sure about vegetarians!). I remain a loyal regular. If you're a dry-aged steak fan and enjoy the NYC steakhouse experience, I recommend becoming a regular yourself. And you don't have to trudge to Brooklyn!

The food, atmosphere and service are beyond first class! Breakfast, lunch or dinner are a great celebration. In this city of restaurants, there is nothing to compare with the grandeur of a Benjamin steak. A must for New Yorkers as well as tourists. Don't miss the schlag for dessert which tops off every amazing meal. One visit and you will become a regular.

What a phenomenal experience. I went to Benjamin after work with a bunch of clients and we were rewarded with an incredible evening. From the warm friendly greeting from the hosts and hostesses, to the delicious sliced porterhouse, our evening at Benjamin was a first class experience. The owner came over and shook our hands and even treated us to an after dinner drink. If you want to be treated like a king, do yourself a favor and head to Benjamin.

I mean, it's a high end restaurant for a reason. I had the NY steak, crab cakes, onion rings, mashed potatoes, and cheesecake. Firstly, the bread they have is AMAZING. I almost got full on just that. The crab cakes were phenomenal - I'm not even a huge seafood person, but I loved these crab cakes dearly. The onion rings were your average onion rings, nothing too special. The mashed potatoes were also amazing, so fluffy and perfect.The steak was, of course, very good. Again, this is saying something because I'm not even a huge steak person.Lastly, the cheesecake. Oh my. I never knew I loved cheesecake until that very night. It was amazing - one of the best desserts I've ever had in my life. I'd go there again just for the cheesecake. Please do yourself a favor and get the cheesecake.

TOM STRINGER & AIDA LOPEZ....Benjamin’s is simply the best steakhouse in New York City bar none. First, the location is very convenient to those of us working in mid-town and commuting out of Penn Station or Grand Central. Second, the food is beyond exceptional. Every item is cooked to perfection and never disappoints, even the breakfast is worth catching an early train into the city for. But what we always find most impressive is the level of service provided by Mario and his staff. They treat you like absolute gold every time you walk in. It’s a pleasure to be around people who are that respectful and attendant to their customers. We could go anywhere in NYC for a peaceful lunch or for an important dinner when entertaining our clients, but Benjamin’s is the only place we want to be.

I don't mean this as means of boasting, but I'm a born and raised New Yorker and I've eaten at every steakhouse in the city. Benjamin's remains the best. Period. Sporadically I'll visit various steakhouses, but Benjamin's is home. The service is top notch, if your friend or foe they'll shake your hand and make you feel like a regular. The wine list is extensive and the steak... there are no words. It's perfection. The best cuts cooked to your desired perfection. This is a must, cementing it's place as a NY institution.

We have been dining at Benjamin since they opened. The offer the steakhouse version of the triple play: excellent food, excellent service and a really good wine list. Few other steakhouses, and we have been to them all, can claim to be solid in all areas.The first time we ever dined with them I was impressed at the polite service and how they made you feel like they were taking care of you. Many NYC steakhouses feel like part of the plan is to make you feel like you were lucky to be seated.The Benjamin creamed spinach is the very best of any place we have been and the management is always willing to help select a wine or suggest what you might order if you are unsure.We return and return all the time

Always 5 star experience all around! I have been coming to Benjamin's since they first opened in NYC. The food and service has always been a 5 star experience. Steaks are always cooked perfectly and if you haven't tried the lamb chops you are missing out. Don't forget the bacon, its to die for. The food is amazing but its the top notch service that completes the whole experience. From the hostesses, bar tenders and wait staff they will remember you and treat you like part of the Benjamin family. Its an absolute pleasure to dine at Benjamin's.

Benjamin Steak House is absolutely outstanding. The steaks, seafood and other culinary offerings are all top shelf. Over the years, I have frequented Benjamin's many times for both lunch and dinner and have never been disappointed. The service is excellent, the wine list is extensive and the room with its soaring ceilings is nothing less than exhilarating. I strongly recommend going to this steakhouse as opposed to the formulaic national chains that have opened outposts in NYC over the past several years!

This was my first experience at Benjamin Steakhouse and I must say it was absolutely fantastic !! I've heard great things but have not been until this weekend. A few colleagues and I had a business oriented dinner this past Friday and a few members had recommended this place and just raved. While making our reservation we had asked for a quieter table being that this is a work dinner. The hostess was super friendly on the phone and said they would do their best to accommodate. We arrived at the restaurant at 6pm - our ressie wasn't until 630. We where greated by a welcoming and Warm staff. The manager Johnny was so accommodating with our quiet table request and seating us early. We where seated upstairs with a beautiful view of the restaurant with a great server who payed great attention to everything. Such an awesome experience from start to finish. Definitely a spot for future work functions and family dinners !

Our server was very professional and kind, gave us some service. The food was incredible ! Johny, the manager came up and introduced himself promptly and warmly and was super accommodating. We thoroughly enjoyed our expirence from the moment we entered to the moment we left. Such a professional and wonderful staff and management. For being such a popular and busy place they do not forget that a customer service is #1! Will definitely be returning soon !

Today's lunch at Benjamin's was fabulous. My family and I enjoyed the experience. Johnny, the manager remembered my family even though we haven't been there for a few months. He treated us like royalty. Mike our server was very accommodating and anticipated our every need. The food was fresh and delicious. The porterhouse was prepared and served perfectly. Thank you for a great lunch. I would recommend this restaurant to everyone.

This place never fails! I've been a handful of times and always walk out thinking it was the best meal I've had. I'm not a bacon lover, but their thick cut bacon is to die for. Seriously, so good. We usually always get the porterhouse for two (sometimes for three!), mashed potatoes and peas and onions. It hits the spot! Not to mention, I've seen Bill Murray dining there which is really cool. This place is worlds better than other "leading" steakhouses in New York. Don't miss this one!!

After meeting friends for drinks a few times I actually decided to sit down to eat dinner and I'm definitely glad I did. I took a coworker and we split everything. The tomato and mozzarella was fresh and delicious and the Porterhouse for two was cooked to perfection. I'll definitely be coming back more often.

I brought my boyfriend here for his birthday because he loves steakhouses. When I asked my dad for recommendations, he immediately said Benjamin Steakhouse. My dad, being the steak guru that he is, said it was the most memorable meal he's ever had! I was sold! My boyfriend and I left sooo full and happy. Everyone was so nice and the steak was cooked to perfection! My boyfriend is a steak snob and for him to approve, I know that I chose right 🙂

I went to Benjamin Steakhouse with a few of my friends on my 21st birthday and had an amazing experience! We ordered lobster mac n cheese, porterhouse for 4, creamless creamed spinach, mashed potatoes, and salmon. Everything was cooked to perfection and the service was GREAT, the server was so friendly and accommodating. The lobster mac n cheese was to die for. I got the chocolate mousse for dessert and they brought it out with a candle in it which was so nice! I will definitely be back soon.

Very friendly and attentive, bringing me a birthday cake along with the birthday song from three other waiters!! Amazing dining experience, felt very special!

The best steak in New York City bar none. Start with an order of a strip of bacon and a ceasar salad, then steak for however many are in your party with sides of creamed spinach, garlic mashed potatoes, and any other side that's appealing to you for your main and wash it all down with an incredible real hot fudge sundae for dessert. While the food more than stands on it owns the service and staff are beyond extraordinary and from the bartenders Gee and GiGi to the servers Ricky, Benny and even the management, including Ben himself, every staff member makes you feel at home. A dining experience second to none in NYC. If you're a carnivore you must. eat. here.

Simply put, the best Steakhouse in NYC! We have been dining at Benjamin's since they opened 7 years ago. Whenever we go, we know we will have a wonderful experience from the minute we walk in the door until we are retrieving our coats from the coat check. The food is delicious and always consistent. They make a delicious steak, and I have even tried the fish, which is amazing. When we make our reservation I always request the best waiter any diner could ask for Ricky. He is always polite, engaging and very professional. He doesn't even bother to give us menus because he knows exactly what we want. Whether you have been dining at Benjamin's since they opened or it is your first time, Ricky always makes you feel welcome. I recommend that everyone at least try this restaurant, and I guarantee you, you will never go to another steakhouse in NYC again.Have now been dining at Benjamin's for 9 years. Was just there this past Saturday, and again had a 5 star experience. Of course when I made the reservation I requested our waiter extraordinaire Ricky! We appreciate the hard work he puts in daily and could not ask for a better Friend. He's now more than a Friend, we consider him Family. We were a party of 4 and never once were we rushed or pressured to hurry up and place our order. We had steak of course that was cooked to perfection. Our sides were delectable and desert was to die for! I always look forward to a night at Benjamin's because I know we will also have a enjoyable evening. I said it before and will say it again, this is by far the best steakhouse in NYC!

I had dinner here on Friday night with friends. Busy spot, nice buzz about the place. I was hungry! I had tomato and mozzarella starter, really good, cheese was cream, tomatoes firm and finished with balsamic sauce - perfectly done. For main I had fillet steak - perfectly cooked to my liking and really tender. Sides are served family style, creamed spinach and German potato - really tasty. For dessert we shared cheesecake and chocolate cake - the chocolate is good. It boasts a super world wine list - we had a really nice Barolo. It's pricey but worth it.

I stumbled upon Benjamin's when I was traveling from upstate New York to the city for medical treatment at Sloan Kettering. I met the most loving, attentive, and caring people while dining there. Benjamin, the owner always goes out of his way to ensure we enjoy ourselves. Ricky is a wonderful server, in the times I've traveled there I always make sure to stop here to eat and request him. Since dining here I've always created wonderful friendships. The food is phenomenal, the atmosphere is incredible. I highly recommend the steak for two, mash potatoes and fresh broccoli. -James Church III

There are a lot of great steak restaurants in NYC, but few stand out as truly exceptional. From the moment you walk in the ambiance, the service and the food are unparalleled. Most importantly, the food is mind blowing. From the the rich sides to the perfect porterhouse - there isn't another restaurant in New York that has the deadly combination of phenomenal service and fantastic food that will have you coming back for years. The only issue we had was not having enough room in our stomachs to clean the table! I don't write reviews often, but when I do, it is for Benjamin's Steakhouse.

Holy cow is right when it comes to Benjamin's Steakhouse. It is by far my favorite place to grab a steak dinner. I have yet to find a place that can compare to the quality of food and service. To start off when you walk through the doors you are greeted not only by the smell of wonderful food but by the great service of all the staff. As wonderful as all of the staff and servers are. There's one particular server who stands out. That would be Ricky. When I met Ricky he greeted everyone with a smile and was very accommodating with all our request and questions. He saw to it that we had a wonderful time and that no one left hungry.

The food was a fantastic with the exception of the server taking the fat and oil from the plate and dousing the meat in it own juices. The meat was flavorful enough without increasing the fat and cholesterol content.The waiters should ask not assume. Some of us still are looking to maintain our health while enjoying great food. The cuts of meat were absolutely exquisite.

Superb meal, service and ambiance. We are from the UK and appreciated the help from the waiter in ensuring that we understood how to order etc, making sure that we didn’t double up on everything (as we’ve done before in the states!). The steak and salmon were cooked to perfection and tasted delicious. Based on our experience we’d highly recommend a visit.

I came here on my solo NYC trip. I wanted a steakhouse and decided on this one. It was very very busy when I came in! The only seat they had available for me was next to the bar, where the bartenders were my servers. I didn't mind, but I felt like I was the unwanted step-child that was thrown in and their liability. I made my order and waited patiently. I could barely hear myself think. My order took so long, I almost thought they forgot about me. When it came, my steak was sliced in the front (i posted photos) as if the chef didn't know how done it was and needed to cut a slit to check. Whatever. I ate it. I also ordered onion rings which weren't that great. I ate. I got full. I left. It didn't wow me nor is it gonna be on my list of places to visit again. Whatever. Next time, please pay attention to the little people like me, who just wanna come in and enjoy a steak without having to feel left out. Thanks.

I was going to give them a 2 star but the service was too good to not give them at least a 3. We had a party of 5, on a Monday night (7:45 pm). We ordered two (medium rare) of the Porterhouse for 2, the spinach, the lobster bisque, lobster Mac and cheese, mushrooms, potatoes and creamed corn.The steaks were done and seasoned well. They were delicious, unfortunately that’s where the good food ended. The mushrooms were incredibly salty way too garlicky, I couldn’t taste the mushrooms at all. They should have added it to the potatoes as they were completely flavorless. The corn was not creamed corn, it seemed more like cheesy corn. There was no lobster or lobster flavor to the lobster bisque or in the lobster Mac and cheese. Finally, the spinach was just a green blob, it reminded me of baby food.The service however was great. The serving staff did an amazing job. The wine that our waiter picked for us had the exact flavors we ask for. The atmosphere was great as well, just what you’d expect from a NY steakhouse.My recommendation, skip all of the sides and the “lobster” bisque, get a wedge salad, a steak and wine and you will be happy.

The food was OK, but for the price I expect better service. I'm not a fan of family style service at a steakhouse, but steak for 4 was more than enough for 5 of us. $15 drinks are the norm in NYC, but $12 for 6 pieces of asparagus and $250 for steak... Eeks

The steak was great! The outside of steak is crispy and inside is very tender. the cooking are what we want! The vegetables and side dishes are delicious, making the steak a higher level. The desert is as nice as the cake store, remember to try! Really recommend this steakhouse. Mike is nice and you can ask any question about the steak and he will recommend you what you want.

Great steak house. New York Steaks are famous and I think this place serves really good one. We ordered the porter house for two. It was delicious, the meat melt in your mouth. There is a distinct difference between NY steak and famous wagyu. But I still prefer NT steak for it's firm texture and yet not tough. It's a bit pricey here but if you want a good steak this place will not disappoint you.

I can not express to you the top notch service, atmosphere, and o yeah the steaks and 3lb lobster.... I'm a steak person my wife seafood.. This place is a step above the rest... When you see your fillet mignon completely cut with a spoon due to tenderness and just the right temperature you know your in the right steak house!!!! The lobster melt in your mouth.... Ask for Ricky at your table for service... He was outstanding professional and he sent us out after dinner to a great rooftop club bar recommendation... Can't say enough... Any trip to the city this place is a must!! It's more than just dinner it's an experience...

If you’re trying to save yourself a trip to Brooklyn to get a steak close to Peter Luger’s, don’t go to Benjamin. It’s a major let down. Wolfgang’s is far better across the board. Better steaks, better drinks and more locations.

This is a really great steakhouse. Waitstaff extremely attentive and friendly. Food is very good. A bit pricey, but good. It is to be expected for a steakhouse in this area. My ribeye was cooked to my liking and the steak sauce that is on the table is very tasty. The onion soup had great flavor. I will definitely come back again...I need to try the lamb since a co-worker recommended it.

Came here for dinner when a colleague from our of the country was in town. This upscale steak house has a great atmosphere. There is an extensive wine list, an average beer list to be noted here however. We shared a T-Bone steak for two, With side.Perfectly portioned and cooked to perfection. Service here was great. Overall, an amazing place to bring a customer, show appreciation to their business, or bring your partner for an anniversary. Just make sure you bring your wallet.

😡😡😡😡 Being famous does not necessarily mean being delicious or friendly. The Steak House on the first floor of the hotel where we stayed is one of the top three in the United States. However, after lunch reservations arrived here, we saw a small rat and I was offended by the way the employees laughed at me shaking the bottle because I couldn't get the sauce out of the bottle. The appetizers with the bread and ordered salad were fine, but the popular belief was that Instack and Rib Eye steaks were tougher than we thought and smelled like meat.

Beware that there are two Benjamin’s in the same block this one and on the other side there is Benjamin Prime which has a more modern look and feel and has more cuts for choice and more seafood.This place looks more like a typical ny steakhouse than Benjamin Prime. The meat is good however There is better if you want old style Keens is still great and if you want modern try Quality meats.

Proposed to my fiancee here and just HAD to write a review after to say thank you! I told the hostess when I made the reservation that I was *maybe* going to propose if the stars were aligned, and they clearly took that to heart! Warm greeting, promptly seated at a beautiful table, the server was attentive and friendly and really helped lay the atmosphere on. Manager checked in on us regularly, somm kept my girl laughing with jokes and great wine recs. I ended up working up the courage and popped the question after our main courses after we placed our dessert order (she said yes obviously, thank god), and they ended up bringing us a candle in it as a congrats! Offered to take pictures etc. Super cute. Of course the food was amazing, but the service was what really made the night so special. THANK YOU a million Benjamin's!

Had a fantastic birthday dinner for my wife. Food was superb and expertly prepared (crab cakes, wedge, ribeye, 2lb lobster and peas and onions) and the server John was attentive without being overbearing — and gave us a very good wine recommendation. They us and especially my wife feel special by bringing out a birthday creme brûlée with a candle. The care and ambiance you get from other high end steakhouses without the crazy expensive prices and huffy service. Highly recommend.

Went with a client to the sister place Prime last spring for a business dinner so decided to try the original for a date night with the wife. Had to write a review because it was such an exceptional experience.First off, the service was great. Friendly hostess and coat check team greeted us. Started with wine at the bar (fun bar staff too), and when it was time to be seated a friendly manager came to get us and carried our wine glasses. He pulled out my wife's chair, which she loved. Basically everything you'd expect from a fine dining steakhouse. The server was wonderful, super fun and had a great rapport with both of us. Helped us through the menu when my wife couldn't choose and was positive and upbeat the whole time. Made us feel special and cared for, which I'm sure takes a lot of professionalism at such a busy restaurant when the guy had lots of other tables to attend.The food was everything we hoped for. Started with a round of oysters (top quality). We decided to share the porterhouse for two, and it was definitely the best steak either of us have eaten. Perfectly cooked, tender, so delicious. The creamed spinach was rich but complex, delicious and a perfect texture and temperature. Big enough portion for us to split. Ended with the creme brulee (wife's fave). Very happy with everything. No complaints. Will definitely be back!

What is there not to love?! I love steak and Benjamin's most definitely is "a cut above the rest". Everything I've tried each time I've been there I've absolutely enjoyed. Everyone I introduce Benjamin's to absolutely raves about it. The steak is always perfection. Their bacon so good!!! Shrimp cocktail fresh and delicious. Their sides, so yummy!! Service, attentive and welcoming. My #1 in the city.

Do not go to this restaurant – ever! The food is good but nothing special, the prices are exorbitant, and the service is lousy – specifically, from the management team/owners. Having spent $10,000 on a birthday party for less than fifty guests, I was given a $150 gift certificate for 2017. Assuming that it was valid for the entire year, I tossed it aside with the intention of redeeming it some time in the future. Unfortunately, when I finally got around to using the gift certificate, I realized that it had expired. In fact, it had expired months ago, as it was only valid for a very short time. So, I sent an email to the woman in charge of event planning, the owner’s daughter, the person who I had “dealt with” during the planning of the party, requesting either a short extension of the 2017 gift certificate or a reissue of the gift certificate for 2018. By the way, the tone of my email was neither arrogant nor demanding, but rather contrite and sincere; it was entitled, A Favor. Given the huge amount of money that I had shelled out for the party, I assumed that she would not think twice about honoring my request. Wrong! Her initial response was that she was “powerless to help,” as if she were a cog in a wheel of a giant corporation. So, I sent a follow-up email, urging her to reconsider. Her response to my follow-up was that she couldn’t grant my request because the restaurant was just “a small family run business” – the organization had miraculously changed overnight from General Motors to Benjamin’s Mom & Pop Eatery - with the implication that I would be taking food out of her family’s mouths. If this weren’t bad enough, in the same email she said that she had already done me a huge favor by providing the gift certificate in the first place. Although I considered sending yet another email, I decided against it. As a good friend of mine is fond of saying, “If you have to have such a conversation, it is already too late!”

The filet I had was very good, and a large portion. Appetizers and drinks were great. The service was attentive. The decor was as the description states, sort of a ‘clubby’ feel, which I like. The prices were high, but about what you’d expect in a NYC steakhouse that is a stones throw from Grand Central. My only criticism of this place is that it is extremely noisy (we went on a Thursday night). I mean, you can barely hear your dinner companions speak over the noise and everyone has to talk very loudly to be heard at the table. I would go back, but only for the right occasion - one that didn’t require a lot of conversation or intimacy. Because wow it is loud!

Unlike some restaurants where the food and service suffers during Hudson Valley Restaurant Week, Benjamin's didn't disappoint me and my wife. We both started out with the lobster bisque which had big chunks of lobster in it and was out of this world! I had NY sirloin for my main and my wife (who isn't a huge steak eater) had the chicken parm. You wouldn't think a steakhouse would be known for its chicken parm but my wife devoured it and said it was one of the best she's ever had--which is big coming from an Italian woman! My steak was as delicious and savory as it always is at Benjamin's. For dessert I had the chocolate mousse and my wife had the carrot cake and we split both of them. We were stuffed by the time dessert came but still managed to finish every last crumb on our plates. If you're interested in going to a restaurant for Hudson Valley week I would 100% recommend Benjamin's Steakhouse!

Came here on a date night with my fiance as I work in the city, and definitely glad I tried it! We'll probably come back some time closer to the holidays; I feel like the elegant vibe would be really beautiful in winter, especially with rockefeller center within walking distance. We both had steaks, and they were superb. I've never had dry-aged steak before, and I think it might be my new favorite. Their wine list was enormous and very impressive, and the wine the manager suggested for us to pair was incredible!

Over over overvalued.Snobby, and they can't afford to be in that way.They pretend to be a high level restaurant but is not.The place is ok but nothing special.The steak was average, nothing special.The roasted potatoes less than average.We were bounced after we booked, but they luckily found a place for us in another building, 2 minutes walk. Service guys were good, maybe too much pressing for the wine, that we decided to don't drink because the pressing and because the bouncing.They have a big selection but we were no more in the mood. The prices of the wine is in line with other restaurants, maybe a little higher.They were snobby and we felt not comfortably with that specially because the place isn't nothing special. We came there from the 4 Seasons hotel where I can walk in slippers if I want, and it is a truly high class place. They have to learn a lot about how to treat people. A smile isn't enough.Anyway I gave them the highest tip.

No need for words on steaks - best steak I've ever had - and our server Tony was the epic this restaurant! His service from beginning till the end was fascinating, making the Benjamin's best restaurant in my life ever. Certainly recommend this restaurant to everyone and definitely will pay a visit again soon! Thank you for giving me wonderful experience!

I was treated to a surprise birthday dinner and what a great experience. Staff is super attentive and the Ribeye was the best steak I've ever had. It covered the entire plate and was like butter from start to finish. After returning home I ordered steaks from their online store and found the service to be equally as good as in the restaurant. Can't wait to go back!

After having a pleasant experience at one of the sister restaurants, Benjamin Prime, my sister and I took my father here for Father's Day. They had a prix fixe menu for the day and I ended up ordering the shrimp cocktail, rack of lamb, and mashed potatoes. My sister and dad ordered crab cakes, the sirloin, salmon, creamed spinach and broccoli. We ended up all sharing bites of all the food and everything was delicious. The rack of lamb was to die for!! We all ordered the chocolate mousse for dessert which was also very yummy. Even though it was a busy day the service was great and the server was very attentive. My father really enjoyed his meal and a delicious steak was a great way to treat him for father's day 🙂

Visited Benjamin Steakhouse for Father's Day dinner and overall a wonderful dining experience. Our party of four had reservations and we were seated immediately. The waiters were courteous and after giving us a few minutes to settle in they came back for a drink order. We asked about wine selection and the waiter provided a wine list. We were going to get two 1/2 bottles for the four of us (Chardonnay and Cabernet) but the waiter recommended some full bottles for the same price. Quality of both the wines he recommended was excellent, and a better value. We ordered off the special menu for Father's Day, we selected lobster bisque, crab cake, and wedge salad and all three were delicious. For the main course we ordered NY Strip Sirloin and Bone-in Rib Eye (two each) and they were cooked to perfection though the rib. We each chose a different side so we shared family style, home fries, broccoli, mushrooms, and creamed spinach. Everything was cooked perfectly and the portions were more than enough. Desserts (Key Lime Pie and Chocolate Mousse Cake) were fine, nothing special.The atmosphere was comfortable, a bit noisy but considering how busy they were it was fine. The only reason I am not giving five stars is the waiter seemed to forget about us a few times. It was great that they didn't rush us through the meal, but it took a while for him to take our food order and it also took a while to get our check. But it's a minor quibble as we did enjoy the meal and the experience.

What makes a steakhouse great depends on three things: The food, the service, and the atmosphere. Benjamin Steakhouse is worth visiting because of its marvelous execution of these three categories. A well-balanced mix of culinary brilliance, impeccable service, and a well fitting atmosphere provides you with with a memorable dining experience. Benjamin Steakhouse features an extensive menu that goes beyond just steak for any individual's unique sort of taste. Me and my boyfriend have been coming here once a month for the past two years and have tried multiple things on the menu. Every dish they serve is impeccable from the seafood to the steaks. When you go to Benjamin’s you are treated like royalty. From the moment you walk in and until the moment you leave the workers are extremely attentive and caring. Everyone is polite, showing that they truly want you to have an enjoyable dining experience. Johnny, one of the managers, is the best. His mannerism and care and will ensure you have the best time here. Food here is not cheap, but it is well worth the price. If you were expecting steak at a cheap price in New York City; maybe Outback Steakhouse would be a better choice. Benjamin Steakhouse offers great food, attentive service and a wonderful atmosphere for a multitude of occasions. I highly recommend trying them.

What a great experience!Came here with a few friends for a late birthday celebration and we couldn't be more satisfied. The steak was cooked to perfection and the creamed spinach was probably the best we've had. Service was impeccable and the ambiance was very classy. Highly recommended.

It's always delightful and adventurous to sit in the dining room, or upstairs overlooking, that's for starters. The waiters are most impeccable regarding their appearance, attitude and menu aptitude. Then, of course the food is cooked to perfection...and if by chance it's not, it will be remedied in less than 5 minutes. Ask for Ben to stop over to your table and if he's there... he will.

A must visit for any steak lover. No wonder this is one of the top rated restaurants in the city. The decor of the place was wonderful, the service was flawless, and staff was courteous (sometime not the case for top notch places).I visited this place twice in the past two months. Once with a date and once with a group of raunchy employees.And then their FOOD is just delicious. Best steak and lamb chops in town.

Simply the best steakhouse in New York City. I have been to them all and there are many fine steakhouses in the City. However, Benjamin's is my favorite. The steaks are superb. The service is excellent. The wine list is top notch and the room is classy and cool. Just go and thank me later.

Having traveled most of this country on business, and eating at some wonderful restaurants, Benjamin's Steakhouse NYC is by far the best. Not only are the steaks exceptional, but the service is beyond anything I've ever experienced. Naturally I've been recommending Benjamin's for several years now to my friends and clients from Saks fifth avenue. The staff and owners have always treated me like family. BTW their other restaurants including the sea fire grill and prime are just as good.

This place is home to me. We come here nearly every weekend and have been to most major steakhouses in the city. The service is always top notch and friendly. Best porterhouse steak, black and blue. The surf and turf is also incredible. A wonderful experience that isn't too packed with annoying tourists. A true New York experience to call home.

I became a loyal patron very fast. Benjamin himself was, and remains, very welcoming and has chosen his staff well, from his own mold. They strive for my enjoyment each and every meal and I have observed them doing the same for other customers. It helps that their steak is among the best I've eaten. They pay up at their suppliers, dry age their beef properly, and know how to cook it with simplicity to honor a wonderful steak. Sides are good, conventional steakhouse fare. Their dry-aged burger is the best version in town. I ate a huge lobster there once and it was also very good so bring your pescatarian friends (not so sure about vegetarians!). I remain a loyal regular. If you're a dry-aged steak fan and enjoy the NYC steakhouse experience, I recommend becoming a regular yourself. And you don't have to trudge to Brooklyn!

The food, atmosphere and service are beyond first class! Breakfast, lunch or dinner are a great celebration. In this city of restaurants, there is nothing to compare with the grandeur of a Benjamin steak. A must for New Yorkers as well as tourists. Don't miss the schlag for dessert which tops off every amazing meal. One visit and you will become a regular.

What a phenomenal experience. I went to Benjamin after work with a bunch of clients and we were rewarded with an incredible evening. From the warm friendly greeting from the hosts and hostesses, to the delicious sliced porterhouse, our evening at Benjamin was a first class experience. The owner came over and shook our hands and even treated us to an after dinner drink. If you want to be treated like a king, do yourself a favor and head to Benjamin.

I mean, it's a high end restaurant for a reason. I had the NY steak, crab cakes, onion rings, mashed potatoes, and cheesecake. Firstly, the bread they have is AMAZING. I almost got full on just that. The crab cakes were phenomenal - I'm not even a huge seafood person, but I loved these crab cakes dearly. The onion rings were your average onion rings, nothing too special. The mashed potatoes were also amazing, so fluffy and perfect.The steak was, of course, very good. Again, this is saying something because I'm not even a huge steak person.Lastly, the cheesecake. Oh my. I never knew I loved cheesecake until that very night. It was amazing - one of the best desserts I've ever had in my life. I'd go there again just for the cheesecake. Please do yourself a favor and get the cheesecake.

TOM STRINGER & AIDA LOPEZ....Benjamin’s is simply the best steakhouse in New York City bar none. First, the location is very convenient to those of us working in mid-town and commuting out of Penn Station or Grand Central. Second, the food is beyond exceptional. Every item is cooked to perfection and never disappoints, even the breakfast is worth catching an early train into the city for. But what we always find most impressive is the level of service provided by Mario and his staff. They treat you like absolute gold every time you walk in. It’s a pleasure to be around people who are that respectful and attendant to their customers. We could go anywhere in NYC for a peaceful lunch or for an important dinner when entertaining our clients, but Benjamin’s is the only place we want to be.

I don't mean this as means of boasting, but I'm a born and raised New Yorker and I've eaten at every steakhouse in the city. Benjamin's remains the best. Period. Sporadically I'll visit various steakhouses, but Benjamin's is home. The service is top notch, if your friend or foe they'll shake your hand and make you feel like a regular. The wine list is extensive and the steak... there are no words. It's perfection. The best cuts cooked to your desired perfection. This is a must, cementing it's place as a NY institution.

We have been dining at Benjamin since they opened. The offer the steakhouse version of the triple play: excellent food, excellent service and a really good wine list. Few other steakhouses, and we have been to them all, can claim to be solid in all areas.The first time we ever dined with them I was impressed at the polite service and how they made you feel like they were taking care of you. Many NYC steakhouses feel like part of the plan is to make you feel like you were lucky to be seated.The Benjamin creamed spinach is the very best of any place we have been and the management is always willing to help select a wine or suggest what you might order if you are unsure.We return and return all the time

Always 5 star experience all around! I have been coming to Benjamin's since they first opened in NYC. The food and service has always been a 5 star experience. Steaks are always cooked perfectly and if you haven't tried the lamb chops you are missing out. Don't forget the bacon, its to die for. The food is amazing but its the top notch service that completes the whole experience. From the hostesses, bar tenders and wait staff they will remember you and treat you like part of the Benjamin family. Its an absolute pleasure to dine at Benjamin's.

Benjamin Steak House is absolutely outstanding. The steaks, seafood and other culinary offerings are all top shelf. Over the years, I have frequented Benjamin's many times for both lunch and dinner and have never been disappointed. The service is excellent, the wine list is extensive and the room with its soaring ceilings is nothing less than exhilarating. I strongly recommend going to this steakhouse as opposed to the formulaic national chains that have opened outposts in NYC over the past several years!

This was my first experience at Benjamin Steakhouse and I must say it was absolutely fantastic !! I've heard great things but have not been until this weekend. A few colleagues and I had a business oriented dinner this past Friday and a few members had recommended this place and just raved. While making our reservation we had asked for a quieter table being that this is a work dinner. The hostess was super friendly on the phone and said they would do their best to accommodate. We arrived at the restaurant at 6pm - our ressie wasn't until 630. We where greated by a welcoming and Warm staff. The manager Johnny was so accommodating with our quiet table request and seating us early. We where seated upstairs with a beautiful view of the restaurant with a great server who payed great attention to everything. Such an awesome experience from start to finish. Definitely a spot for future work functions and family dinners !

I went here with my family this past Saturday evening and had a wonderful time! We had a 730 reservation and this being peak timing, where greeted warmly by the hostesses whom where very polite and we where seated promptly. We had a great table and the service was fantastic. Our server was very professional and kind, gave us some service. The food was incredible ! Johny, the manager came up and introduced himself promptly and warmly and was super accommodating. We thoroughly enjoyed our expirence from the moment we entered to the moment we left. Such a professional and wonderful staff and management. For being such a popular and busy place they do not forget that a customer service is #1! Will definitely be returning soon !

Today's lunch at Benjamin's was fabulous. My family and I enjoyed the experience. Johnny, the manager remembered my family even though we haven't been there for a few months. He treated us like royalty. Mike our server was very accommodating and anticipated our every need. The food was fresh and delicious. The porterhouse was prepared and served perfectly. Thank you for a great lunch. I would recommend this restaurant to everyone.

Historic place in Midtown. Worth going if you are looking for steaks, lobsters and no-Nonsens American food. The sides were great. Really great wine list as well. A bit expensive, even for Manhattan.

This place never fails! I've been a handful of times and always walk out thinking it was the best meal I've had. I'm not a bacon lover, but their thick cut bacon is to die for. Seriously, so good. We usually always get the porterhouse for two (sometimes for three!), mashed potatoes and peas and onions. It hits the spot! Not to mention, I've seen Bill Murray dining there which is really cool. This place is worlds better than other "leading" steakhouses in New York. Don't miss this one!!

After meeting friends for drinks a few times I actually decided to sit down to eat dinner and I'm definitely glad I did. I took a coworker and we split everything. The tomato and mozzarella was fresh and delicious and the Porterhouse for two was cooked to perfection. I'll definitely be coming back more often.

I brought my boyfriend here for his birthday because he loves steakhouses. When I asked my dad for recommendations, he immediately said Benjamin Steakhouse. My dad, being the steak guru that he is, said it was the most memorable meal he's ever had! I was sold! My boyfriend and I left sooo full and happy. Everyone was so nice and the steak was cooked to perfection! My boyfriend is a steak snob and for him to approve, I know that I chose right 🙂

I went to Benjamin Steakhouse with a few of my friends on my 21st birthday and had an amazing experience! We ordered lobster mac n cheese, porterhouse for 4, creamless creamed spinach, mashed potatoes, and salmon. Everything was cooked to perfection and the service was GREAT, the server was so friendly and accommodating. The lobster mac n cheese was to die for. I got the chocolate mousse for dessert and they brought it out with a candle in it which was so nice! I will definitely be back soon.

From reading other people's experiences I was lead to believe this was a pretty damn good steak house and that I was going to have a really good experience. Alas I left feeling disappointed. The atmosphere is very nice and the waiting staff were very courteous. The steak however was disappointing as it was overseasoned. I tried my wife's cut of meat and it too was overseasoned. Perhaps I should have done more research, but the only choice of Benjamin's sauce to accompany the steak didn't improve things either; it tasted no better than a posh ketchup. The fries are okay but nothing really to shout about. Things improved with dessert a little bit but I wonder if it was because my taste buds were crying out for sweet food after the salty steak! For the money I genuinely wished it was better.

Extremely disappointing: MGMT TAKE NOTICE. Were seated at 830 for a table of 2... didn't leave until 11pm. Seated w/o water or menus for 5+ min, the rest of a meal was more waiting. Honesty the restaurant as a whole gets a 3 star, but for the price/value 1.5 stars is more appropriate. Jumbo shrimp appetizer has huge shrimp but chewy (made hours before???) - honestly some of the worst shrimp I've ever had and served on ICEBERG lettuce that was hanging off the plate so much that when it was put on the table the lettuce was under the plate. oysters were overly grainy and not detached from shell (are they even trying to be a 5 star restaurant??). Then main course of surf and turf comes. Looks huge and beautiful but lobster has no flavor and very tough. Filet mignon was good tho. The asparagus was basically one spear cut in half with the sides shaved... assuming bc they are out of season and again, chewy this time of year so cheap fix by chef. This location is truly an embossment to the chain. At the end of the meal u get to wait in line in the cold another 7 min for mandatory valet. Managers conveniently only come at appetizers which I was thinking of saying something but thought I would wait until the rest of the meal... never saw them again. Will not return. Would not recommend.

Great atmosphere, seafood platter was excellent, steak for 2 was good not great, cheesecake was excellent. Service was very average, our server didn't know the price of the seafood platter, stood behind us for 10 minutes while we sat with dirty plates in front of us. We even stacked them to try to get someone's attention. Not worth the price, I've had way better steaks and experiences.

Best steak I've had in New York, hands down. Steak for two, medium rare Oscar and Cajun style. Loses one star because two out of the last four times I've visited the barman tried to pull a fast one a serve house vodka instead on the ordered belvedere.

$200 for two steaks, two sides and two small glasses of wine I was left pretty disapointed having visited from the UK. Steak wasn't that special. Sauces offered with it might have improved it. However that's down to personal choice. To wait 50 mins for a table though (not their fault i guess) then get little attention from the server, no candle on the table, one wine glass and frozen butter for our bread basket and to top it off to be asked for a $30 tip was the icing on the cake. Lots of room for improvement.
Stephen Crawford

The food and service here is top notch! I have been many times and will continue to give them by business for there consistency. Start with a seafood tower and end with the porterhouse for 2. This steak will melt in your mouth and you will never want to eat anywhere else.

Had the privilege of dining at this amazing Steakhouse for my birthday!! The Porterhouse Steak was perfection, so juicy and tender with delicious flavor. The Broiled Lobster tails were so succulent, did not even need the melted butter served along side. Oh and the waiters were so awesome!! Very friendly and attentive, bringing me a birthday cake along with the birthday song from three other waiters!! Amazing dining experience, felt very special!

The best steak in New York City bar none. Start with an order of a strip of bacon and a ceasar salad, then steak for however many are in your party with sides of creamed spinach, garlic mashed potatoes, and any other side that's appealing to you for your main and wash it all down with an incredible real hot fudge sundae for dessert. While the food more than stands on it owns the service and staff are beyond extraordinary and from the bartenders Gee and GiGi to the servers Ricky, Benny and even the management, including Ben himself, every staff member makes you feel at home. A dining experience second to none in NYC. If you're a carnivore you must. eat. here.

Simply put, the best Steakhouse in NYC! We have been dining at Benjamin's since they opened 7 years ago. Whenever we go, we know we will have a wonderful experience from the minute we walk in the door until we are retrieving our coats from the coat check. The food is delicious and always consistent. They make a delicious steak, and I have even tried the fish, which is amazing. When we make our reservation I always request the best waiter any diner could ask for Ricky. He is always polite, engaging and very professional. He doesn't even bother to give us menus because he knows exactly what we want. Whether you have been dining at Benjamin's since they opened or it is your first time, Ricky always makes you feel welcome. I recommend that everyone at least try this restaurant, and I guarantee you, you will never go to another steakhouse in NYC again.Have now been dining at Benjamin's for 9 years. Was just there this past Saturday, and again had a 5 star experience. Of course when I made the reservation I requested our waiter extraordinaire Ricky! We appreciate the hard work he puts in daily and could not ask for a better Friend. He's now more than a Friend, we consider him Family. We were a party of 4 and never once were we rushed or pressured to hurry up and place our order. We had steak of course that was cooked to perfection. Our sides were delectable and desert was to die for! I always look forward to a night at Benjamin's because I know we will also have a enjoyable evening. I said it before and will say it again, this is by far the best steakhouse in NYC!

I had dinner here on Friday night with friends. Busy spot, nice buzz about the place. I was hungry! I had tomato and mozzarella starter, really good, cheese was cream, tomatoes firm and finished with balsamic sauce - perfectly done. For main I had fillet steak - perfectly cooked to my liking and really tender. Sides are served family style, creamed spinach and German potato - really tasty. For dessert we shared cheesecake and chocolate cake - the chocolate is good. It boasts a super world wine list - we had a really nice Barolo. It's pricey but worth it.

I stumbled upon Benjamin's when I was traveling from upstate New York to the city for medical treatment at Sloan Kettering. I met the most loving, attentive, and caring people while dining there. Benjamin, the owner always goes out of his way to ensure we enjoy ourselves. Ricky is a wonderful server, in the times I've traveled there I always make sure to stop here to eat and request him. Since dining here I've always created wonderful friendships. The food is phenomenal, the atmosphere is incredible. I highly recommend the steak for two, mash potatoes and fresh broccoli. -James Church III

There are a lot of great steak restaurants in NYC, but few stand out as truly exceptional. From the moment you walk in the ambiance, the service and the food are unparalleled. Most importantly, the food is mind blowing. From the the rich sides to the perfect porterhouse - there isn't another restaurant in New York that has the deadly combination of phenomenal service and fantastic food that will have you coming back for years. The only issue we had was not having enough room in our stomachs to clean the table! I don't write reviews often, but when I do, it is for Benjamin's Steakhouse.

Holy cow is right when it comes to Benjamin's Steakhouse. It is by far my favorite place to grab a steak dinner. I have yet to find a place that can compare to the quality of food and service. To start off when you walk through the doors you are greeted not only by the smell of wonderful food but by the great service of all the staff. As wonderful as all of the staff and servers are. There's one particular server who stands out. That would be Ricky. When I met Ricky he greeted everyone with a smile and was very accommodating with all our request and questions. He saw to it that we had a wonderful time and that no one left hungry.

Service was atrocious. We booked a table at 8pm for 2 the day before and when we arrived we were told to wait in the (jam packed) bar until we were called and that the wait was 20 minutes. After 20 minutes no one in the bar had been called and we asked the staff if we would be called soon. When we questioned the wait we were told 'well that's what happens when you great food'. No apology for the delay. We left 35 minutes after our reservation time and went to Mortons a few blocks away where the steak was beautiful! Will not be going back to Benjamin steak house.What's the point in booking a table when your made to wait without an explanation /apology

The food was a fantastic with the exception of the server taking the fat and oil from the plate and dousing the meat in it own juices. The meat was flavorful enough without increasing the fat and cholesterol content.The waiters should ask not assume. Some of us still are looking to maintain our health while enjoying great food. The cuts of meat were absolutely exquisite.

Superb meal, service and ambiance. We are from the UK and appreciated the help from the waiter in ensuring that we understood how to order etc, making sure that we didn’t double up on everything (as we’ve done before in the states!). The steak and salmon were cooked to perfection and tasted delicious. Based on our experience we’d highly recommend a visit.

This is an up market restaurant so be prepared to not be in a hurry, eat very well and for what it's worth, have a good credit balance on your card. I found the service to be impeccable, well coordinated and the servers appeared motivated and engaged. We were a large group and they got all our orders right. Summary: the food was fabulous and the ambience amazing.

It's always a pleasure to dine here. The staff is always attentive and flexible, and makes everyone feel welcome. The thick cut bacon is a must. Our server was kind enough to suggest dicing a small portion for my group of smaller eaters. We ordered a variety of steaks and they were done as expected. Prices are similar to all the great steakhouses in NY. It's a great place to entertain visitors.

My wife and I went this past Friday to celebrate her birthday and we had a great time. First time in NYC and this was the first restaurant experience we encountered and I will say Ricky (server) set the bar for great customer service experience. I have been telling all of my colleagues who frequently travel to NYC to check the place out. I will definitely return next time in NYC.

The food was OK, but for the price I expect better. The servers were good, but I'm not a fan of family style service at a steakhouse. Steak for 4 was more than enough for 5 of us. $15 drinks are the norm in NYC, but $12 for 6 pieces of asparagus and $250 for steak... EeksEdit: after a somewhat snippy response from the owner, I definitely will not be back. For the record, I travel a lot and eat at many fine dining restaurants. I do not mind paying for a great meal and experience. I've paid far less and had better. I've paid far more and had better. It's not a matter of the price, it's about value. My meal was not up to the standards of a "fine dining establishment".

I was recommended this place by a friend and I thought I'd give it a try. The service was excellent, the food was delicious and my steak was cooked perfectly. The wine recommendations that the manager gave us were excellent. Overall it was very good. I'll definitely be back soon.

Great steak house. New York Steaks are famous and I think this place serves really good one. We ordered the porter house for two. It was delicious, the meat melt in your mouth. There is a distinct difference between NY steak and famous wagyu. But I still prefer NT steak for it's firm texture and yet not tough. It's a bit pricey here but if you want a good steak this place will not disappoint you.

This place served me the best steak I have ever had. The rib eye steak filled the plate alone. With a drink and dessert expect to spend $85ish but believe me. Best money you will spend for a meal. Service and food exceptional. Plus it is quiet and spacious.

I went with my husband for dinner, we ordered rib eye steak with vegetable and steak fries sides, in addition to ceasar salad for sharing. The steak was really good and cooked medium-well perfectly! The salad was delicious as well, the fries can be better. But what really made me give this restaurant a 5 star rating is not only the food but the service as well! John was our table's waiter he is very friendly and helped us with ordering the correct portions, food took relatively short time to be ready. All in all I strongly recommend this place.

Excellent service. The waiter came to our table 1 minute after we sat down and got us water and appetizer bread. He let us eat for a little while then took our order and the food only took about 15 minutes and he brought it to us. He was also taking care of 4-5 other tables and was being very professional with them. At the end he offered us desert but didn’t push us to get any. Very professional. Food was delicious and reasonably priced.

The stark was great! The outside of steak and the cooking are what we want! The vegetables and side dishes are delicious, making the steak a higher level. The desert is nice as the cake store, remembering to try! Really recommend this steakhouse. Mike is nice and you can ask any question about the steak and he will recommend you what you want.

This is my first time to dining in Benjamin and last time I believed. I brought my family to the steakhouse but unfortunately I felt it’s so bad experience. The server who take care of our table are really not friendly services and bad attitude. We confirmed how we like to prepare our steak and Tuna, but Tuna are over cook and 2 orders of Steak for 4 are required cook for rare and it’s come in medium well. And he still trying to argue and have us a go-by. I been operated and running restaurant business for more than 20 yrs, and I could tell that’s Dinner experience are really not worth @ almost 1000 dollars spent. Really not worth of it and highly not recommend this place to anyone.

The best steak restaurant I have ever been to. Steaks are always cooked to perfection and full of flavor. Service is top notch and extremely accommodating. Had the chance to be served by Ricky and was impressed with all the recommendations he gave us. Wonderful experience!

I am a frequent client here and I have to say I love the atmosphere, the food is amazing and the employees are friendly and attentive, especially Danny. He’s always helpful and makes great suggestions when it comes to the menu and wine. I highly recommend this steakhouse if you’re in town.

Simply superb. I’ve had some amazing steaks in the USA but this was beyond compare. Super service, terrific ambiance and above all food to die for. Highly recommended.

The burger was good. The hightop bar seats were fine for intimate conversation. The bartender was inattentive, which is being kind. This was an evening during the week so it was steady, but not crazy busy.

Benjamin Steakhouse is fabulous! My husband and I typically order the steak for two which is served on a sizzling hot plate with some bubbling brown butter, yum! For valentine's this year we had the lamb chops instead and they were to die for. We eat out a lot and all over the country and we keep coming back to Benjamin over and over. Atmosphere is dim and cozy, service is on point.

Coming from out of state we had extremely high expectations for our valentine’s day dinner. The restaurant is absolutely beautiful, and the atmosphere is romantic. The food was overall great, but my steak was undercooked and slightly difficult to eat. The server was attentive to an extent, but could have put in more effort to his customers. We have had better experiences at other steakhouses in Minnesota.

The portions are huge, so large in fact that I accidentally ordered too much food. For example, the 6 piece shrimp cocktail is almost enough for two people, biggest shrimp I've seen in my life. And do try the Canadian bacon, one of the most unique dishes I've seen. I got a rare ribeye as the main course, no problem there. Steak sauce was also fantastic. One of my friends got the rack of lamb which I was also very envious of. My only real problem was with the cutlery. The steak knives were not serrated, and the blades were comically dull. I thought maybe it was just me but everyone at my table noticed it. It really took away from the experience, such a high end restaurant completely neglecting the cutlery required for consuming their flagship dishes, and having to saw endlessly at your steak to get a piece off to the point that you desecrate the meat. I hope that next time I come back they might have some better knives, because I greatly enjoyed the food and look forward to returning.

Amazing stakes, really delicious. The atmosphere is nothing special, a bit too casual I think for the level of expectation of a place like this. Service is good, quite fast and friendly. It is worth the visit and experience the food.

Extremely happy with this restaurant. Excellent service with incredible attention (which was especially important as our wine was not able to be kept at the table and we required regular refills). The steak was amazing, we had the porterhouse with sides to share. The sides I was not as happy with, but I went for steak and barely had room for them anyway! Why not 5 stars, mainly due to the chaotic nature of the place. Our table was next to highly utilized stairs and was loud overall, not a romantic atmosphere for sure. They never rushed us which is major at a busy place, an overall great time!

Excellent food and service. If you are looking for a great steak place, this is it! Personally I had the Chilean Sea Bass, which was awesome. My only critique is that the noise level is high! Definitely make reservations.

I had a steak sandwich here for lunch. WOW. I almost ordered another one. It was perfectly done, juicy, enough seasoning ... it was just right. The place has high ceilings, felt spacious and it was fully packed at the time we went for lunch. My female colleague later commented "Did you notice I [she] was the only woman customer there?" I don't know what that means, but I say go try the steak.

One of my favorite steaks in New York(and I’ve tried a lot of them). Very similar to the flavors you would get at Peter Lugers, except they dress the atmosphere up a bit and offer a little more diversity on the menu. I look forward to returning again next time I’m craving a steak and a nice bottle of wine.

Amazing Staff, Amazing Food, & Overall an Amazing Experience. There is no need to go to any other steakhouse in NY when there is Benjamins. If you have not heard of this place you are living under a rock...most well known celebrities & politicians also choose Benjamin's over any other Top Dining Restaurant in NY because of what you get in Service & Quality. Try this place out for yourself and you will see what I'm talking about. Ask for Ricky and he will take care of you.

Amazing steak!!! It was very accommodating and the porterhouse is a must. The staff can be better compared to other steakhouses.

Nice steaks, beautiful presentation. Lobster bisque was delicious and burrata with virgin olive oil and aged balsamic vinegar was superb. Desserts were okay. Service was friendly and efficient. Several private rooms on the 2nd floor for corporate dinners.

Superb steakhouse. Steak for 2, 3, 4 & table nearby was 9 people with large platters filled with porterhouse steaks looked amazing! I couldn't pass on their rack of lamb & hubs had filet- thick & perfectly cooked. This is high level restaurant with outstanding service. Marriott Marquis suggested it & was perfect tip.
