Benjamin Steakhouse, New York NY - November 17

Rating - 10.00++++++++++++

Excellent. Exceptional. The BEST.

This is my favorite place to take clients, or a group of business associates. Located a block away from Grand Central Station. Make sure you make a reservation even on a Tuesday night.

We arrived around 8 pm and the place was packed. We had a few drinks in (the VERY SMALL) bar while we waited for our table. Although the bar was extremely crowded, the service is fantastic.

Once seated our waiter was Arben...usually we ask for Arty but he was serving a private party upstairs. His service was impeccable throughout the night!

We all started with the sizzling bacon slice....this is a slice of heaven.....that you MUST have. Next were the wedge salads followed by Steak for 6. It is served on plates that come out of the oven and are basically huge T Bones that have been pre-cut. It is also the BEST STEAK ON EARTH.

The sides are all great, I love the creamed spinach, and the deserts are grand. In addition the wine list is excellent and reasonably priced.

We also enjoyed a round of Jamo shots on the house.....which is always appreciated....and has seemingly disappeared from the bar/restaurant scene.

As I stated earlier this is my favorite place in New York and it is a must visit for dinner!!!!
