Good little hideaway for salad oysters steaks and fish. Crabcakes had chunks and they also do a little crisp on the edges. read more

We recently went to another location within the Benjamin Prime family (Sea Fire Grill) and the management team made a point to make this an especially wonderful experience for us after the issue with the waiter last time at this location (Prime). The service was great and the food was delicious. We really enjoyed all the dishes we had. Would recommend it if you're looking for some good fish/seafood in the city. read more

Benjamin Prime is a great option for restaurant week - you get an appetizer, entree, side and dessert for $60! We came as a group of 4 so we were able to try out many options. For the appetizers, the grilled calamari and burrata are great options! The grilled calamari is smoky and cooked perfectly. The burrata is creamy and goes well with the free bread at the table. For the entrees, we all got the New York sirloin medium rare and it was delicious! Their sauce was so addicting and paired perfectly with the steak. For sides, the Brussels sprouts and mashed potatoes were the best! I wasn't too fond of the spinach as it was too pureed for me. For desserts, the chocolate mousse cake was rich and decadent. Service is exceptional for the steak as the steak is cut already and they place it sizzling on your plate. read more

The food at Benjamin's Prime was just as good as around the corner at Benjamin's. My girlfriend enjoyed the ambiance more at Prime. Both steakhouses offer impeccable service. The cocktails are strong and flavorful. The quality of the meat is incredible - but the show stopper is clearly the creamless creamed spinach. This is my favorite side at any steakhouse that I have ever been to. I've had a few different cuts of meat and they have all been cooked to my preferred temperature. The menu at Prime is also a little bit more foregiving than a traditional steakhouse if you have picky eaters in your party. None of this will come cheap of course but highly encourage if you are in the neighborhood for a steak to put this in your rotation. You may find it towards the top of your list (it's on mine!). read more

An amazing steak experience from top to bottom! We came here for restaurant week and it was an epic deal. We would come back for a business lunch or a special dinner. The porterhouse steak was tender and flavorful, and worth the price. I have had steak at over a dozen NY restaurants and this steak was among the top 3. The other dishes were equally delicious, including the lobster bisque. The dessert menu is also a winner, especially their pecan pie a La mode. Must get! Besides the elevated steak, the service was top notch. The host was gracious and even gave us a free dessert! The waiters were attentive and filled our water without being asked, which is always much appreciated. read more

Benjamin is by far the most delicious steak option in the Big Apple. This was my first time here, and they also had restaurant week at the same time, so we all decided to go there. I got the filet which was a large size. There were four different sides and since we had four different people we just ordered each one amongst ourselves. The food was delicious and memorable to the point where I want to go back and get a nice piece of meat, yum! Service was done pretty well! Overall I think they want you out of New York. But if you are ever in New York and everywhere is filled just go to the same restaurant. read more

The ambiance is Iike any other steakhouse which is good, most unique was their tall windows which added to the vibe. First impression was this was one of the emptiest steakhouses I've ever dined at even though it was dinner time on a weekday. Regardless, was excited for porterhouse for two which I always get. Cooked medium, the steak was very soft inside which was a good surprise but the more I had, the more it felt off compared to other steaks. The crispy on the outside also were quite charred and charcoal tasting on some pieces, others were fine though. The truffle mushrooms were amazing in flavor but near the end, it felt more salty than anything else. Overall not the quality I would've expected compared to other steakhouses considering the price. Main thing was also that the service here was also not the most welcoming, from the over staffed onlooking servers, to demanding we keep the cold water glasses even though we clarified we did not want water (leading to overly crowded table), and pressing us to get a drink/appetizer/side as if to judge us for only getting the steak, it wasn't the most welcoming. The kicker came at the end when we wanted more complimentary bread and they said that would result in an extra charge. We were also interested in dessert and when asked for dessert menu, they said they had none and just rambled it to us really quick. When we reached online, we saw online reviews mention free dessert crème brûlée for check in and surprised , we inquired about it. At first, the server was like "yes I already said we have crème brûlée" to which we had to clarify that we know you do, we were wondering if the offer still applied. The server seemed very defensive and bothered by such an inquiry and challenged us to show evidence of such a deal. We really didn't care and simply wanted to clarify. Overall wasn't the best mood for a high end steakhouse. The service was one of the worst; the food was alright but could've been better. Not too impressed, better steakhouse elsewhere! read more

Burrata starter was yummy and I liked the black salt. The steak was tender and cooked perfectly but the meat was a bit dry. The cheesecake was yummy but not great. Service was good and I liked the ambiance. But overall I would actually prefer Benjamin steakhouse (not the prime location) because besides the vegetables the food was better over there. read more

Came here for lunch on Friday during NYC Restaurant Week. The place was exactly what we were looking for... Elegant and romantic atmosphere! The place was less busy. The service and food were amazing! The food was fresh and came out fast. We had grilled calamari and Italian Burrata as appetizers, Scottish salmon and Bell & Evan's Organic Roasted Half Chicken for our main courses, and sorbets for dessert. Their menu has many options to offer, including gluten-free, soy-free, and dairy-free options. We would come back again and highly recommend you check out this place if you are in Murray Hill. read more

Honestly, pretty delish. Pricey obviously, but food was the quality is there. Service seemed to be top notch as well. The vibes are similar to any other steakhouse in that the lighting is moody and dark in the evening. This restaurant came highly recommended from a worker at the hotel I was staying at not too far from Times Square. read more

Benjamin Steakhouse Prime - Filet Mignon* - Seafood Near Me - New York, New York

This is my second worst experience at a high-end steakhouse. The first being Uncle Jack's. The service was okay. It wasn't that busy either. The servers weren't really attentive. Everything was overcooked and charred. We requested the porterhouse to be medium. It was so charred, but there were also medium rare pieces. Staff didn't even basting the meat when they served it. I'm not sure if it was an off day for the chef and the rest of the team. The space and location is beautiful but I do not plan on returning ever again. read more

I just ate at Benjamin Prime with clients on 9/29. Overall the service was not good at all. Completely inattentive. I Ordered the sirloin steak and ate 2 slices, asked for a to go container for basically my entire steak and what I ended up going home with is my clients steak bones he was going to give to his dog. Completely unacceptable. read more

Came here during Valentine's Day so we can order through a set menu. Personally I thought I can just choose what I like we when I made the reservation as it gave me the option to choose between valentine set or regular and I chose regular. But oh well Food was good, loved their steak and salmon. But if you want to get your money worth, the steak will be your best bet (not the surf and turf, the bone in steak) Dessert was meh. It definietly tasted like a supermarket store bought cake. The chocolate coated one was screaming it Overall I'll give it a 3/5. Will I come back to try other things, yes. but will definitely avoid coming during valentine or any set menu dates. read more

Perfect steak experience here!! This is a branch of the famous Benjamin Steak House but it looks newer with more modern and more spacious. It feels more pleasant in my opinion. Their Porterhouse Steak was famous and we came for it. HUGE portion and so nicely done! The vegetables were cooked just right, too. Though we were quite full, we ordered the chocolate cake on the dessert menu and, guess what, we finished it - because it was so good!! Overall a classic steak house experience with fine food and great service! Highly recommend this to tourists who want a typical NY style meal and to anyone who just enjoys fine dining. read more

We visited here on a Friday night and took advantage of the restaurant week menu which was a great deal ($60 for 3 courses). We had an early table at 6pm but within half an hour the restaurant really started to fill up. We went with the calamari and bacon starters. The calamari was not what I was expecting (I was expecting deep fried but I should have read the menu properly) but was tasty nonetheless. The bacon was a little fatty for me but I think that is just the nature of the dish. We both went for steaks for our main course and these were cooked nicely, although nothing standout or amazing. For sides we had the Brussels and the mashed potatoes, these were both really good and would highly recommend. Finally, I had the mousse cake for dessert and my other half had the carrot cake. Both of these were delicious, although we were too full to finish. All in all I would say this is a solid steakhouse. Would I return? Probably not as there are so many steakhouses in NYC, but I also wouldn't advise anyone against going. read more

Easily the best steak I've had in the USA. I ordered the NY sirloin steak done rare. Dry aged. Prime. They did the meat properly. Perfectly cooked on the outside with Maillard reaction depth and slightly singed crunch. The interior was perfectly bloody with just enough heat to render the meat soft and juicy. Even though the serving size was modest , the flavor explosion from the taste of the meat and drippings caused an umami explosion in my mouth and was more than filling. I didn't feel any need to add any condiments, the meat itself with the touch of salt and pepper was enough flavor. I was happy with the sides provided although they were on the salty side. The decor was noisy and busy. If you have trouble hearing or seeing, it might be tough. Bring your flashlight, readers, and buff up on your sign language. Oh. I'm not a wine drinker but the house wine was perfectly drinkable. Better to ask someone with more of a wine tongue. read more

Dined here with my family (party of seven) and had an incredible experience from start to finish.

Quality steak. Good flavor and has a solid lunch prefixed menu. Wish there was more of a meat option from the prefixed list. The waiter did give me a puzzled looked when I asked for bbq sauce for the fries. It is an upscale place with full of suits and a few tourists here and there. It is a business atmosphere so it is not for everyone especially families with little kids. read more

Came here with a group of 11 and had an awesome experience. This is a classy steakhouse with service that is absolutely top notch. Exactly what you would expect from a true NYC steakhouse experience. All the sides were awesome but some highlights were the lobster mac and cheese and the roasted broccoli. Also the absolute best appetizer was the grilled calamari this was phenomenal! Would recommend trying and they have a great espresso martini if that's something you're interested in. read more

Found parking directly in front of the restaurant on a weekday night. The place does not look very big on the outside but it is pretty spacious on the inside. We got a private room on the second floor. I ordered the lobster bisque, filet mignon medium rare with sides of broccoli, creamy spinach, and roasted potatoes. The lobster bisque was delicious - one of the best I've ever had and quite small. The filet mignon was beautifully flavored and cooked. All the sides were good too. For dessert, we had a cake assortment and I ordered a chamomile tea. The cake assortment included a key lime pie, carrot cake, berry cheesecake, and a chocolate mousse cake. All the cakes were very delicious as well. The service was great. As for the restrooms, I was surprised there were several on the second floor. There's one unisex room with several stalls and sinks. There are also several options for drying your hands including towels, paper towels, and blow dry. Lovely restaurant - will definitely come back for the lobster bisque and steak! read more

Exceptional crab cake. Exceptional porterhouse for two. Mashed potatoes were both outstanding and mercifully small on portion. Asparagus was terrific. Service was true five star. Ambiance is beautiful but the tables are tightly packed. Bar seating is minimal. The constant stream of people in and out does not transport you to a place of calm, after slogging through the holiday shopping bustle packing all of the sidewalks to the restaurant. Crowd control is a problem that needs resolution. It draws down on an otherwise top drawer experience. read more

Came here for Christmas - it got busy very quickly, as it's one of the few places in the city open. We had their pre-fixe menu which came with your choice of alcoholic or nonalcoholic egg nog, an appetizer, entree and dessert. I was blown away by how tasty everything was. The rack of lamb and ribeye - extremely tender and flavorful. One of the better steakhouses I've been to and can't wait to come back for their regular menu. read more

Burnt crust. Tough and chewy texture. One of the worst steaks I have ever eaten and it's super expensive.

crowded, i can deal with. Nice waiter wasnt his fault. First drinks wrong. Dirty martini 3/4 filled, not dirty at all only 2 jarred blue cheeze olives. "Collassel Shrimp" barely large. Porterhouse for 2, was the size of a porterhouse for 1. Chewy, not good. SO really disappointed used to love this place. 2 of the people I went with got sick on the german potatoes. Food very sub-par, shocking. I get it's busy this time of year, but this is unacceptable. read more

Saw something on Instagram saying this was a good place for restaurant week. So we booked a reservation for the fan to come check it out. It's been a while since we'd been to a proper steakhouse so we were excited to try it. Our normal go to is Lugers and Benjamin immediately drew immediate comparisons. First, their logo makes you think they come from a common heritage. But the similarities end there. Whereas Lugers feels like some Bavarian cottage, Benjamin's dark and sleek city vibe hits you as soon as you walk in. Lugers waiters are known for their almost gruff mannerisms, the waiters at Benjamin are more traditionally high touch service oriented. Note that we had to ask for the restaurant week menu after the initial confusion of receiving their big regular menu book. This is probably why it was on insta - for $60pp you get 4 courses. The cut that's included is their sirloin with a $10 upcharge for filet and $20 upcharge for bone in ribeye. We tried them all. First, you get the delicious warm bread with truffle butter. For apps, we ordered Brussels sprouts - very good, lobster bisque - tasty with good lobster bits, octopus - good but not particularly memorable, bacon - which basically speaks for itself. Sirloin - presented on a sizzling platter and served to your plate, with a basting of the hot beef juices. The filet and ribeye were just served on a platter. Sirloin was solid - just a good portion of a beefy steak. The filet was super tender as expected but its usual neutral ish (for steak) taste. The ribeye, however, was worth the upcharge. It definitely had the best flavor due to its marbling. And it felt like you got a ton of meat. For sides we got fries (the nice long steak fries), mashed potatoes, creamed spinach, which were all just ok. For dessert, we tried the cheesecake and chocolate pie - which were good but probably could have just been bought from somewhere. We got a bottle of house red wine, which for some reason went straight to all our heads. All in all, a pretty solid experience for restaurant week. Definitely would consider returning for the ribeye, not going to lie. read more

My friend and I were "transferred" to this place because our original reservation with sea fire grill got canceled due to some emergencies in the restaurant. The restaurant has an open layout and a welcoming ambiance. We ordered the ribeye steak, sea bass, and seafood platter -- all of them were delicious, especially paired with the red wine. At the end of the meal, we were offered a cheesecake as an apology for the reservation change, which was a really thoughtful gesture. The cake was excellent and ended the night on a perfect note. read more
