    I had an enjoyable evening. Service was impeccable. Atmosphere was nice, lighting was a little too dark. I enjoyed the oysters and shrimp cocktails as a starter. It’s nice you can order by piece. Caesar salad was fine, maybe too many hard end pieces of lettuce. The filet was cooked to order, slightly over seasoned but it was enjoyable. Cocktails were well made. Will go again the future.

    Unforgettable Steak Experience at Benjamin Steakhouse! Last December, my best friend and I visited New York, and one morning we woke up with an intense craving for steak. By pure luck, we found ourselves at Benjamin Steakhouse, and we couldn’t have chosen a better place. From the moment we walked in, we were warmly welcomed by the wonderful manager John Martinaj. Even though it was breakfast time, he kindly offered us the steak menu. We decided on the rib-eye, not realizing it’s nearly 1 kg per person. To our surprise, we devoured every bite. It was that incredibly delicious. The cheesecake was also amazing! Months have passed, yet we still talk about that meal and the experience with huge smiles. This review is long overdue because moments like this deserve to be remembered and shared. A heartfelt thank you to John for making our day so special and giving us a taste of happiness we’ll never forget. We can’t wait to come back on our next trip to New York!

    First time here. Had a reservation. Was lucky enough to get a seat at the bar for a drink beforehand. G was amazing so we wound up having dinner at the bar. Food was outstanding! Cheesecake for dessert was an 11/10! Thank you to G at the bar for making our night!

    I had an amazing experience at this steakhouse from start to finish. The food was outstanding—perfectly cooked steaks, rich flavors, and high-quality ingredients that really stand out. Every dish we tried was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. What truly made the experience exceptional was the manager. They were professional, welcoming, and clearly care about both the customers and the quality of the restaurant. They checked in to make sure everything was perfect and made us feel genuinely appreciated. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the service was attentive without being overbearing. This is easily one of the best steakhouse experiences I’ve had, and I will absolutely be coming back. Highly recommended for anyone looking for great food and excellent hospitality.

    came to this restaurant for dinner today, and I felt so much happiness in so many ways—from the food to the service. The food was absolutely delicious, and every staff member was so kind. I truly felt like I experienced perfect service tonight. I don’t think I’ll ever forget this evening. I’m leaving with only happy memories, and I can honestly say this is the best steakhouse I’ve visited in New York! In particular, I’ll never forget the kindness and service of our server Marlin and manager John. There are many great steakhouses in New York, but this one is my strongest recommendation. You absolutely won’t regret coming here!

    Absolutely perfection. The ambience is really nice. And the food just superb. Service was excellent The crab cake was very delicious. And the porter house steak cooked to perfection. The lobster mac and cheese was good and it’s a huge portion. They have a very extensive wine selection. This a must visit for steak lovers. And of course the desserts are amazing as well.

    We had dinner at this restaurant for the first time during US Open (NYC restaurant week). The place was very busy, very dimmed light and tables were close to each others. We liked the bread basket. We tried fried calamari and buffalo mozzarella entrees. The fried calamari looked to be fried in old oil and the calamari itself is small. The mozzarella is good. The main course USDA prime dry-aged NY sirloin was perfectly cooked medium rare as requested and meat was tender. the portion of steak was very generous and we couldn't even finished. We also had grilled salmon (no picture here) and it was very good. The sides, mashed potato was basic and home fries was not really what we expected, ordinary. The desserts, which we took home, cheesecake was great but chocolate mousse was not as good. Overall, the steak is definitely the specialty here and we'd definitely come back for it but the rest is average.

    I just love this old school steakhouse. Extensive wine list, perfectly cooked dry-aged rib steak, reasonably priced for an upscale NYC steakhouse and what a great unpretentious service by our waiter Harvey. Thanks for such a great experience! See you soon Harvey!
