    stale bread basket, rib eye prime steak
    Rita L.

    Updating my review to give it more stars this time :) Came here for an event on a Tuesday night, the food was really good! Friendly staff too! Tried the scallops, tbone ribeye, lobster mac and cheese, creme brulee and some other sides and everything was good! Shishito peppers, mashed potatoes, creamed spinach, crispy Brussel sprouts, onion rings are all good

    Benjamin Steakhouse @ this location is on E. 41st St. in Midtown, close to Bryant Park, 42nd St. Grand Central Terminal & other hang-out areas & shops. I visited the week before to get a view of the place before booking the Christmas Eve Reservation. The lovely woman @ the front let me look around, answered my questions & completed my reservation quickly. We came for early Christmas Eve dinner, in order to start enjoying it before the later dinner crowd arrived. Benjamin Steakhouse Staff at the front give us a warm greeting befote fulfilling our request to be seated upstairs. We enjoyed sitting in their Balcony Area overlooking downstairs. Benjamin Steakhouse had a Christmas Eve & Christmas Day Prix Fixe menu option. It included a glass of Eggnog (you can choose either the alcohol or non-alcoholic option), an Appetizer, an Entree, a Side & Dessert. We both had the Liqueur Eggnog option, a Crab Cake Appetizer, Filet Mignon - one w/ side of mashed potatoes & one w/ broccoli (we shared to get a taste of both side dishes), & one slice of cheesecake & one slice of carrot cake for dessert. Boy, I know that I say things are delicious often because I have had some great food in my lifetime (lol), but when I say that every dish was delicious, I mean it! The Crab Cake, & the Filet Mignon w/ Vegetables....cooked so well. Fabulous bread basket, succulent steak, crispy broccoli, creamy potatoes, well-seasoned steak & crab cakes & heavenly dessert! .Eggnog, the dishes the desserts - everything was flavorful & fantastic. So much so, that I wish I had some of every dish in front of me now (lol). Benjamin Steakhouse had beautiful holiday-themed decor, a gorgeous Christmas Tree, coupled w/ elegant ambiance & overall wonderful service! They have a good Restaurant Week Menu & a good Valentine's Day Menu - this will be available on Feb. 13th & Feb. 14th. @benjaminsteak Benjaminsteakhouse.com

    Sirloin and creamed spinach. Excellent meal.

    Really a very good steakhouse. I had lunch at the bar today and would rank Benjamin's high on the list of NYC steakhouse options. Got the sirloin from the regular menu, cooked medium rare. Also just a side of creamed spinach. That was a perfect portion. The steak was cooked perfectly and had a great dry aged aroma and taste. Service at the bar -- I believe it was from Angela -- was excellent. This is a very strong candidate for a good quality steak if you are in midtown. I would rank this in the conversation of Wolfgang's, Gallaghers, and Rocco's. Would strongly recommend this place.

    It's one of my personal traditions to dine at a steakhouse on Thanksgiving, and this year's visit to Benjamin Steakhouse may be one of my favorites thus far. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, even on a packed holiday. The Thanksgiving rush was handled with ease. Our server was friendly, attentive, and provided perfectly timed service throughout our meal. The first thing I had was the crab cake, and it was great: crispy on the outside, tender and flavorful inside... just right with the seasoning. No filler, just quality. For my entrée, I went with the Traditional Thanksgiving Turkey (turkey, stuffing, roasted yams, potatoes au gratin, and cranberry relish). Everything on the plate delivered! To finish, the pumpkin pie hit the spot... smooth, spiced just right, and it came with whipped cream and a scoop of vanilla ice cream. A perfect ending to a holiday meal. I left full, satisfied, and already thinking about returning long before next November. I recommend it whether you are on holiday or not.

    Came to Benjamin Steakhouse for our 6 year anniversary. Benjamin's is set up like a traditional "old school" steakhouse and has the great service you would expect at that type of establishment. No waiting with reservation, quickly sat, and even surprised with a glass of champagne for our celebration. Much appreciated. Our waiter was attentive, made great suggestions, and was always nearby. The porterhouse for two was cooked to perfection, the sides were filling and shareable, and they had a great lemon drop martini. This is a great steakhouse for celebrations, closing a deal, or meeting with friends.

    This dish was outstanding and lived up to the high standards expected of an authentic steakhouse. We ordered the Porterhouse steak, which arrived steaming hot on a warm plate, instantly whetting our appetites. The cooking was perfectly executed, with a crispy, aromatic crust that was full of flavor. The server thoughtfully cut the first few slices for us and arranged them on the plate alongside fresh green asparagus. Even before taking a bite, a smile had already spread across our faces. This kind of experience is hard to replicate at home, and the atmosphere was fantastic. Sometimes, it's worth spending a little extra to enjoy professional quality service lol.

    I had dinner at Benjamin's this week with a group of 11 friends, and the entire experience was flawless an easy 11/10. Ambiance and Service We were seated in the upstairs dining area, which was perfect for a large party: roomy, lively, and still comfortable enough for conversation. From start to finish, the staff was attentive without hovering. When one of my dirty gin martinis arrived missing the blue-cheese olives, our server noticed before I even said a word and swiftly brought a fresh skewer which was a small touch but big impact. Drinks * Dirty gin martinis (with plenty of blue-cheese olives) * Espresso martinis to cap the night Both cocktails were well-balanced and generously poured, making them worth the splurge. Starters * Wedge salad -- crisp lettuce, thick-cut bacon, and a punchy dressing that stole the appetizer show. * Grilled octopus -- tender and nicely charred, but the wedge was the unanimous favorite. The Main Event We split three Porterhouse-for-Fours and one Porterhouse-for-Two. Every steak arrived medium-rare, perfectly seared, and remarkably tender with no chewing marathons here. Sides * Lobster mac & cheese (rich, with big lobster chunks) * Creamed spinach (silky and indulgent) * Onion rings, sautéed mushrooms, and broccoli (all solid) The mac and creamed spinach tied for crowd-favorite, and the staff handled all the plating table side eliminating any awkward passing or uneven portions. Value At roughly $240 per person, including 3-4 cocktails each, appetizers, steaks, sides, and dessert-in-a-glass espresso martinis, the price felt entirely fair for the quality, quantity, and service level. Bottom Line Benjamin's Steakhouse nails the big-group steakhouse experience: stellar service, perfectly cooked porterhouse, standout sides, and cocktails that keep the table buzzing. I can't point to a single miss. If you're planning a celebratory gathering, put Benjamin's at the top of your list. You won't be disappointed.

    Rib Eye Steak
    Jana N.

    Dark and cozy atmosphere, great servers- they all seemed to help each other. Steak seasoning was good but a bit dry. Could have used some fun and unique steak sauce other than there house made bbq/horseradish sauce that's on every table (I wasn't a fan of the sauce). Sides were bland and could have used more salt or seasoning. Not bad, but wouldn't come back or suggest to anyone to come here if they want to a nice juicy steak in NY

    My experience was unexpected. Made a reservation for a Sun morning before the shuttle and flight back home. I appreciated the hostess offering to check my suitcase. Country music flowed through the speakers during my entire meal. I distracted and detracted from the decor and atmosphere- it was weird. My food was average. Nothing notable. The onion ring batter had no flavor. The burger bun was huge so I tried to eat the burger with a fork- the meat just crumbled in tiny pieces like ground meat. I asked for bread when no one brought it. A group of 6 finished while I was getting seated- no one else was in the restaurant. I felt like a distraction as the servers were preparing for lunch or dinner service. Servers were friendly. Restrooms in the basement- only noting this for anyone with mobility concerns.

    Here comes to celebrate sister's birthday at the great steakhouse!! Perfect timing for NYC Restaurant Week! Service was amazing and the ambiance was great for any kind of celebration :) steaks were very well done became one of the top steakhouse! Gotta go back there for another rib eye steak!!!

    Went here for a business lunch. And it was restaurant week so we all had the fixed menu. The Caprese was delicious. The balsamic vinegar was sadly nonexistent and could have had more basil. Loved the mozzarella. The filet was cooked to a perfect medium rare. Sear was great and loved the level of salt. The mashed potatoes were heavenly. Loved the garlic flavor of the vegetables but they did seem like frozen vegetables and not freshly chopped. The chocolate mousse was a disaster. Way too sweet and not enough texture. The cream was just too overpowering and they didn't even need that on the plate. For the size of our group the service was fine. Vibes are cool but it was absolutely freezing in there with the ac blasting. My whole group was freezing. Would 100% recommend the filet and mashed potatoes.

    Hubby took me here for a late night Valentines dinner and we both loved the pre-fixe selection. The bacon app was DELISH and a must-try for all the bacon stand out there. But the crabcake left a lot to be desired - it was just okay. We both got rib-eyes for our main entree and ordered creamed spinach and fries for our sides. The rib eye was delicious. It had the perfect crust on it and was super tender. The fries were great but the creamed spinach lacked flavor for us and tasted more like a bag of frozen spinach than creamy steakhouse creamed spinach we're used to. Lastly, both the cheese cake and chocolate mousse were solid desserts and super rich. The service was fast and pleasant and the ambience had an old world appeal as most steak houses do. Overall-our experience was lovely and we're excited to return and try other dishes on the menu.

    Porterhouse (medium rare)
    Nando F.

    Finally got around to this place. One of my best buds has raved about it for yrs and we never took the time. I personally found the space a bit tight. The tables are laid out so close to each other... well, I guess, it is midtown. Sorta dimmer and much louder than I'd like when I am out for a meal with good friends. We had a serving of their thick cut bacon, each, porterhouse for 3 and a few drinks. I found the bacon to be quite good. Not too salty. Great consistency. I could have that and a couple of sides and call it a meal. The porterhouse; my friends felt was exquisite. I on the other hand, was not as pleased as they were. For me, I felt it was unevenly cooked. Too cooked on the outside. Some bites were charred, even; transitioning to well done and finally to rare. I believe this is depicted in some of my pictures. The sides, mashed potatoes and creamed spinach were what anyone would expect. Service was friendly and swift. I wished the venue would be quieter, slightly brighter, the steak not charred on the outside. A good time was had in spite of the observations I listed above. I feel this place is more like a 3.7/5 (but this site does not allow decimal grading.)

It was a hearty portion - super fresh and flavorful, and honestly more than I could finish (not a complaint!). I also ordered a Diet Pepsi with grenadine; they don't carry Diet Coke, which I almost docked a point for, but the mix was unexpectedly delicious. Highly recommend it. My date ordered the hanger steak and said it was absolutely amazing. Only hiccup: his first glass of wine he got came out hot... like, microwave-level warm. Fortunately, the server brought a new (cold) one and the rest of the meal was smooth sailing. Service was friendly, the vibe was homey and relaxed, and the food was solid across the board. Would definitely come back, especially for that salad and another round of grenadine magic.

We also wanted to try a classic pastrami on rye--but without committing to the long lines at Katz's Delicatessen. Sarge's ended up being the perfect alternative, just a quick five-minute walk from our hotel. We arrived around 5:00 pm on a Sunday and were seated right away, which already felt like a win. The meal started with coleslaw and both a half sour and full sour pickle--such a classic deli touch, and a great way to kick things off. I ordered the half sandwich with matzah ball soup, and the portion sizes were no joke. The soup alone could have been a full meal: a huge bowl with an equally massive matzah ball. The broth was warm and soothing, and the matzah ball was incredibly light with a perfect texture. The half pastrami on rye was just as impressive. Even "half" was stacked high with flavorful, tender pastrami. Adding a bit of mustard from the table brought everything together--it was simple, classic, and exactly what I was hoping for. Not only was it one of the more reasonably priced meals of the trip, but it was also genuinely satisfying. If you're looking for a no-fuss, traditional deli experience without the wait, Sarge's is a great option.
