    A very nice experience. The place itself seems small however the service and the actual food make up for it. Everything that tried was super fresh, which is important when getting so much seafood in different variations. And when having seafood they had a great selection of wine for a perfect paring. The portions are not that big, but still pretty much feel you up and not over the top so that you have room for desert. And speaking of desert, chocolate mouse was just perfect and an actual mouse unlike in most of the places lately.

    The food was fantastic, the atmosphere and service made it a perfect night!The carrots are like candy! Our steaks were cooked to perfection. Not one complaint about the whole experience.The best cheesecake I ever tasted. You won’t regret dining here!

    I had an exceptional experience, thanks to Lina, my amazing server! Her thoughtful suggestions were spot on and truly elevated my meal. Every dish she recommended was bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. The food quality was outstanding—fresh, perfectly cooked, and packed with creativity.The service was warm and attentive, making the experience even more memorable. Lina’s expertise and genuine enthusiasm made me feel valued as a customer and ensured I had a fantastic time. I can’t wait to return and explore more of the menu! Highly recommend this spot for anyone seeking great food and impeccable service.

    Great lunch! Loved my Caesar salad with the best grilled shrimp. My mother in law loved her French onion soup and beet salad. Elegant and professional service from Lin. Great latte.

    Oh my goodness! So amazing. Food was delish! Marcella, our server, was a delight. We will definitely be back.

    Happy hour was great, sangria is delicious. We ordered a few of the bar bites and everything was so good! Jose was our server and very polite and helpful with recommendations for local spots to go to (we are not locals to NYC). Thank you so much! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

  • Review 8 (2024-11-07 - Rating: 5)

    Wow! What an incredible dinner. The best seafood I’ve had in a long time. Try the seafood platter with a glass of champagne. Just delicious. AND our service was fabulous! Thank you Dennis for being our awesome waiter.

  • Review 9 (2024-06-22 - Rating: 5)

    We happened in by chance on the way to a show and are so glad we found this place! The bartender was spectacular, personable and excellent at letting us know about the food and drink selection. The food was amazing, and the chocolate mousse - dont get me started! Saved as a favorite for next time well in NYC!

  • Review 10 (2024-08-10 - Rating: 5)

    Very friendly staff. Food very tasty. I had the tropical salad, fried calamari, crab cake and salmon. Finished with chocolate mousse. Everything was delicious. Atmosphere was great, warm and inviting. High recommend this restaurant.

  • Review 11 (2024-07-09 - Rating: 5)

    I had the best salmon at this restaurant. I am an a carnivore diet, therefore I asked not to use any vegetable oils while cooking my meal and requested a pure butter. They made my salmon exactly the way I wanted - no oils with butter on the side.Fabulous service and the best place to eat and meet friends or business partners.

  • Review 12 (2024-11-12 - Rating: 5)

    The steak was cooked perfectly for my husband. I requested blue cheese dressing for my salad and it was no problem. The carrots were delicious.The chicken was pounded thin and was good. The bread was not hot is my only complaint.We had the pear tart for dessert which was great.Overall a great experience. And we would return.

  • Review 13 (2024-10-21 - Rating: 5)

    This place is awesome! I got the French Onion Soup and the Chili Burger, which confusingly does not contain chili, lol. But it was delicious nonetheless. Its easily one of the best burgers Ive had in years. The patty was thick and cooked perfectly. The French Onion soup was also quite good. As other reviewers have mentioned, the staff is extremely attentive and is always making sure youre being taken care of. I sat outside, and it was very pleasant. Overall, I wouldnt change a thing and will definitely return the next time I come to NYC.

    Excellent service from warm, friendly staff who were very attentive. Lovely ambience and we were seated and served promptly. Portions are very generous and everyone in our party of eight had a lovely time and were well looked after. Would highly recommend 😎

  • Review 15 (2024-05-07 - Rating: 5)

    Amanda was amazing during my visit to the restaurant! Her attentive service and friendly demeanor made my experience at the bar truly delightful. The limoncello and champagne were delicious, but I would love to see a selection of local beers added to the menu to complement the fantastic selections on the menu. Overall, a wonderful place to dine and drink with exceptional service!

    We enjoyed our Thanksgiving day with our family of 18 ~ from the moment we walked in the door we had the most incredible experience. It felt like family and the cuisine was delicious. They were attentive to every little detail. This will be a must stop every time I’m in the city ❤️❤️❤️. ask for Dennis

  • Review 22 (2024-03-13 - Rating: 5)

    Our waitperson was extraordinary. Attentive, helpful, polite… professional! The food was actually really perfect. Everything ordered met and exceeded expectations. And we’re not relatives😟The seating was comfortable. The only thing that could be improved was for the canned music to be played a bit more quietly.

  • Review 23 (2024-12-16 - Rating: 5)

    We had a great time, Wednesday felt like Saturday. The food was good but it lacked a special touch, I noticed they delivered our first round of drinks to the wrong table so we had to wait, but it was worth it, the drinks were amazing! I recommend it, very close to Rockefeller and at the same time away from the madness.

  • Review 24 (2024-12-17 - Rating: 4)

    What a great find!! The staff were exceptional and really made the experience extra special. So accommodating and on top of everything. Great cocktails and wine list. The French onion soup was just ok, but the filet, creamy cheese corn and homemade rigatoni with sauce were incredible!

  • Review 25 (2024-10-31 - Rating: 5)

    On a short trip to NYC and happened to walk into Benny John’s for dinner. The restaurant has an understated elegance. The food was quite delicious and Christian took good care of me and made me feel welcomed. If you are looking for a good meal in a relaxed atmosphere then I recommend Benny John’s and if you happen to get Christian, then good for you!

  • Review 26 (2024-07-26 - Rating: 5)

    We came for lunch. Service was excellent! I had the NY Sirloin and it was delicious. I definitely recommend.

  • Review 27 (2024-02-23 - Rating: 5)

    This beautiful new restaurant is less than a year old and since it was conveniently located next to our hotel, we ventured in on a very cold night. The warmth of the staff went above and beyond. Marco the manager has a genuine smile, and had no trouble luring us in. Danielle our bartender was attentive and very professional. She had the sweetest smile and huge eyes that twinkled. Dennis was another charming employee worth mentioning:)We like to eat light, and this place has a great happy hour menu with lots of choices for apps. But we opted to have two of theirsignature salads. Mine was the tropical salad which truly was a work of art!!! Arugula with avocados, cubed apples, mangos, and 4 huge grilled shrimp made this a sumptuous treat with every bite. My husband had one of the best caesar salads ever. We shared the panna cotta dessert, which was a perfect accent to our salads. Yum!!9We love this restaurant. The lighting is elegant, the music choices perfect to not compete with the guests conversations, and the interior design simply beautiful.This would be my go-to restaurant if I lived in NY, so go out of your way to dine here. Youll make it one of your favorites for sure!

  • Review 28 (2024-09-27 - Rating: 5)

    The steak I ordered was cooked perfectly and was delicious. The service was completely on point. When you come, you should hope for or ask for Alexis to be your server. She was extremely knowledgeable about the menu and helped us make the perfect selection. I’ll be back!

  • Review 29 (2024-11-13 - Rating: 5)

  • Review 30 (2024-07-22 - Rating: 5)

    This is place is def what we call “the best bang for the buck” it’s a beautiful place with a great service. They constantly check on you. We ordered 3 dishes and they all were 5 in flavor and portion. The time was perfect. They have in and outdoor tables with plenty of space. The bar has a decent selection, but their service will make you smile. Again, loved the price for the area is good. Will def come again for dinner. I will Def recommend it to friends and family.

    My girlfriend and I both got the filet, cooked to perfection. Cream spinach was out of this world and the Mac and cheese was delicious. Beautifully decorated for Christmas. High end atmosphere and service.

    This place is amazing! Elegant, yet warm and personal. John was wonderful and recommended the most delicious Cabernet paired with my filet. I highly recommend the mushrooms and salmon tartare as well. My hat goes off to the chef! Fantastic experience overall!

  • Review 35 (2024-11-29 - Rating: 5)

    Been in NYC for over 10 years, have had all the well-established steakhouses many times. We decided to try this on a whim for a thanksgiving dinner as it’s close to our apt and wow, were we impressed! The porterhouse was one of the best we’ve had in this city, incredibly tender, well seasoned, and cooked exactly to a perfect med-rare.Special shout-out to Orlando! He was great throughout the dinner. He kindly switched our wine when we ordered the wrong one and provided great recs all night. Kudos!You shall see us back soon!

  • Review 36 (2024-12-03 - Rating: 5)

    We had an amazing experience! We came here for a double date and Denny’s took great care of us. Each of us had a different burger, we had a bottle of Pinot Noir that he recommended and tried a few appetizers including the carrots, delicious! We saved space for dessert. Their bread was delicious too! It had Parmesan and gruyere cheese! Ordered three and they brought us a fourth complimentary. Our favorites the crème brûlée and the pear tart! We will be back when we return to NYC!

  • Review 37 (2023-05-14 - Rating: 5)

    I work in the nabe, and haven’t found a steak place I like and trust me, I’ve tried all of them around my office area. This lovely new place is sensational. Went alone a few weeks ago and had a huge shrimp cocktail and a salad with large chunks of Canadian bacon and blue cheese. I went earlier this eeek with a client- she had a cheeseburger, which was perfect, and I had a repeat of my lunch from the previous time. Excellent service, clean a a whistle, great menu. Do yourself a favor and eat here. You will NOT regret it.

  • Review 38 (2024-10-14 - Rating: 5)

    I recently dined at Bennys John’s restaurant and had an incredible experience from start to finish. The ambiance was perfect, with a cozy yet upscale vibe that made me feel welcome immediately. The food was outstanding, with each dish prepared to perfection, from appetizers to dessert.What truly made the evening unforgettable was the amazing staff. Daniela went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable and well taken care of, offering excellent recommendations. Marko, the manager, was attentive throughout the meal, always making sure our drinks were topped off and that we had everything we needed. His leadership was evident in how smoothly everything ran. Cesar’s warmth and professionalism made us feel like valued guests. Ariana’s cheerful energy added a special touch to the evening. And Lisbeth’s attention to detail ensured that every part of the dining experience was flawless.It’s rare to find a restaurant where both the food and service exceed expectations, but Benny John’s restaurant delivered on both counts. I can’t wait to come back!

    This is my third time come here. The second time having food. I had their special the tuna tartare. It was tasty, only thing I like my tartare usually cut up a little more, this was more cubed. Their wine was great and my server was extremely hospitable and very nice! I will be back to try more food!

  • Review 41 (2024-07-17 - Rating: 5)

    In NYC for a baseball game and the US Open. Decided to try a different restaurant and this place had a great atmosphere and really solid food!There of us split the porterhouse and the lobster risotto, along with a side of Mac and cheese and were completely satisfied.

  • Review 43 (2024-08-03 - Rating: 5)

    Tropical salad, French onion soup, and seared tuna steak over asparagus were all delicious. Perfectly timed arrival of the three courses. Kept my sparkling water glass filled. Michael and the rest of the service team did an excellent job. I hope to return with special guests.

  • Review 45 (2023-04-17 - Rating: 5)

    We were so very fortunate to find this place! This was our 1st trip to New York City and the restaurant was next door to our hotel. We were drawn the first evening not only by convenience, but by the ambiance from the street. It was so very inviting and welcoming. The outside seating area was lovely and the live music softly playing outside under the lights felt magical. The staff were all WONDERFUL (very attentive and friendly), service was 1ST CLASS and the food beyond EXCELLENT. My Husband said it was the best Salmon he had EVER had!We were so drawn to this place that we went all 3 nights we spent in NYC. With 100s of choices in the area, and us being lovers of delicious food and great service, for us to CHOOSE to dine here all 3 nights of our trip, speaks volumes!Do yourself a favor and locate this place and go see for yourself. You will NOT be disappointed! Truly, one of the highlights of our trip.THANK YOU all at BennyJohns for letting us be a little part of your family for a few evenings.Reagan and Alderik

    Great spot that is not broadly known by the regular way midtown and tourist folk. Servers are excellent and make sure you are getting what you want. Orlando is an outstanding server- helped me order a balanced meal that is not too heavy. Steaks are very well made, a combination of the sizzle of PL and the comfort of 21 club (rip)

    Loved getting away from the crowds, nice quiet spot good wine list for basic wines. Good was good, mine was a bit on the warmer side and the English muffin could have been toasted more but the smoked salmon was yum! Service from Alexis was excellent!!! A good hidden gem for brunch

  • Review 65 (2023-06-19 - Rating: 4)

    The clams are to die for! It’s important for you to know that about this establishment. I visited in New York recently and was actually at the timeshare next-door to Benny’s. I knew as soon as I got in from the airport that I was gonna eat there at least once I just wasn’t sure when. I had the grilled salmon with the mushrooms, sautéed, and the half clams. My brother had the coconut shrimp and the lobster bisque but I had a chance to taste both.In order from greatest to least: the lobster bisque was superb, the coconut shrimp were meaty and above average in quantity and flavor, The clams were plentiful and filling, the sautéed mushrooms had some excellent undercover flavors that weren’t just sodium, and the salmon was cooked to perfection. However, the fish was lacking in any real notes. Not that I prefer a common blackened or citrus, but some seasoning would’ve been nice. My servers name was eludes me but he was amazing. His efficiency and experience are what I know and love from good service he was very friendly and kind to weary tourists, which New York is not known for, but they have a lot of despite theories. I truly enjoyed him, as well as the live music from the musician there that evening. He was absolutely hilarious and play Georgia on My Mind because I told him I was from Atlanta. I will definitely be back for those amazing cocktails with sake and the one my brother head with jalapeños. Ask your bartender about them! Thank you so much!

    Had a great time! If you dont know what you want Benny Johns has a little bit of everything to help make your decision easier! From cocktails, wine, and beer to oysters great salads and steaks. Service was fast, consistent, and without issue. Mayhe could use a few more appetizer options but none the less was a great experience! Will definitely come by next time I visit the cathedral!

    We stumbled upon this restaurant and we immediately knew we found a gem! You walk off the street and into a quiet restaurant with incredible background music and vibes reminiscent of a European cafe. We had the pleasure of getting to know Cesar and Zeke. They took such good care of us and were so kind!The food was incredible! The beet salad was the best I’ve ever had. Then we each had a burger and fries — highly recommend!If you’re looking for great food with even better people, stop in for lunch or dinner. You will love it!

Food was very yummy! I got the caprese pasta and my mom got the beet salad and french onion soup. And we got a creme brûlée for dessert. Very good, highly recommend!

    Excellent service from Alexis. I needed to grab. She recommended the BEET salad with Grilled chicken and placed my order in quickly. The salad was delicious and the service here was impeccable. I felt understood and taken care of. I will definitely be back. Highly recommend. Thank you Alexis you’re a Star ⭐️

    We got caught in a horrible rain storm in the city & we were looking where we could eat and stay dry. Luckily Benny John’s popped up right around the corner from us. It was so delicious…we had 2 appetizers steak tartar & oysters rock. Dinner we shared the prime NY sirloin steak & steak fries! Dessert crème brûlée 🍮. Everything was delicious my only complaint is I’m a salt lover…I would have liked if the steak had some coarse salt sprinkled over it. But my husband thought it was just perfect 🤷🏻‍♀️Our waiter was Michael & he was attentive & wasn’t pushy or felt rushed…nice guyThumbs up to the female bartender that evening…she was very nice gave us paper towels to dry ourselves off

    Stopped in for a quick drink and bite before a larger meal with colleagues this evening. We were seated quickly and anything we asked for was accommodated by Caesar, our exceptional server. And the food, absolutely incredible! Flavor, presentation and portions were on point, and not just for their signature Italian dishes. We got the pappardelle with bolognese and also a burger with Gruyère; both were fantastic! All the stars for this place! Go here!

  • Review 100 (2024-05-09 - Rating: 4)

    Stopped in for a late lunch after arriving into Manhattan and our room wasnt ready yet.Nice spot with tablecloths, etc and the service was great! Waiters carry the drinks on silver platters, that kind of place. Waiter was very attentive the entire time without standing over us.Food was good, not amazing, but we just had lunch, 2 soups and shared a BLT. My French Onion was good, but the cheese was a little chewy, not the gooey you really want, but not overly salty which I find in a lot of places either. BLT was tasty with avocado and really thick slices which I liked, making the sandwich more meaty. It was nice that they split the sandwich for us, always a nice touch.

    Benny Johns offers an exceptionally welcoming dining experience with attentive service and mouthwatering cuisine. From the moment we entered, the friendly host made us feel right at home. Our server, Dennis, epitomized top-notch service - he was highly attentive without being intrusive, checking on us frequently and ensuring we had everything we needed.The food was simply divine. To start, the lobster bisque was rich, creamy and packed with flavor - rivaling some of the best Ive had. The freshly baked bread also hit the spot with its soft, warm interior and crispy crust. For the main course, I chose the ribeye which was cooked to tender perfection with marvelous and delicious beefy flavor. At well over a pound, it makes for a very generous portion. I also had the lobster risotto which was perfectly seasoned with plump lobster chunks and creamy rice made for an undeniably tasty meal.From the cozy atmosphere to the attentive service to the skillfully prepared food, Benny Johns offers an outstanding fine dining experience that I will certainly be returning to soon. I highly recommend it to anyone searching for a special night out on the town.
