"I was unimpressed with the taste of the steak. Stunningly it required a bit of catsup to add some flavor. I have eaten in other steak restaurants where the steak melts in your mouth. Not here though.

Service improved as the night went along. Seems that once the waiter realized we were going I spend some extra $$ (bottle of pelegrino) he warned up"

"Great steak. But great steak can be had at a few choice steakhouses. However, the service set it far apart easily the best in the business. The team of Mike and George were great made it worth every penny."

"Probably one of the best steak houses in NYC. Pricey, but worth it for any special occasion. Expect $150-200 per person with cocktail & wine. Definitely recommend highly."

"Took a friend to experience what is my favorite NYC steakhouse; Ben Benson did not let me down.

Fresh Blue Points, Crab cocktail, Buffalo steak, hash browns, creamed spinach, and awesome blackout cake, accompanied by a delicious bottle of Cabernet.
