First time at this Benjamin’s, we have been to their two midtown steak houses multiple times. Lovely space, nice Christmas decorations. The steak was excellent. The tune tartare and burrata appetizers were great. The wine list is extensive and pricey, check your credit card limit before ordering a California Cab. Now are go to restaurant in Westchester, that is after we help put grandkids to bed and can sneak away for an adults dinner.

We dined here on a week night and the restaurant was quiet. The food and service were both amazing! I have eaten here on weekends as well, and find the place bustling with food and service equally great.
