With the consideration of the location in mind, I suppose the exorbitant price is what you expect. However with that being said, I do believe the service could've been a little better. Staff was friendly enough. They just were not detail oriented ( had to ask for items multiple times) and were slow. Three hours for dinner is a long time especially when you're out of town and you have a driver and a car waiting for you. If you're not in any hurry or have loads of patience, I would say give it a try. Food was decent.

Delicious 12 oz filet cooked perfectly! Great price for the size. The crab cocktail and creamy corn were delightful as well! Our server took care to make sure everything was perfect. Highly recommend!

I took customers out for dinner, and the atmosphere and food were amazing. I loved the double levels; it felt spacious, and the noise was controlled. This place is way better than SDK. I highly recommend the pecan pie!

Over-priced, over-hyped, rude service, dry steaks, since business was slow- staff stood there and stared at us. Restaurant was recommended by hotel- very disappointing. Rolls even tasted like they had just been picked up at the grocery store. Won’t be back.

This was our 1st visit to Benjamin Prime. Everything was AMAZING! Started with the crabcake and lobster bisque, the flavors were delicious. Porterhouse for 2, lobster mac n cheese and mushrooms… OMG flavors exploding in your mouth. Perfectly cooked, great crust. We were so full we took a pecan pie to go! The service was friendly and attentive. We’ll definitely be back!
