Fodor's Review:

Among the most venerable steak houses around, Ben Benson's feels like a clubby hunting lodge. The gracefully choreographed, intensely focused staff will bring you only the finest dry-aged prime meats and only the freshest seafood, all classically prepared, teeming with familiar and beloved flavors. The trimmings are ravishing, too: comforting creamed spinach, sizzling onion rings, and decadent hash browns are essential. Power lunches were practically invented here; just being in the place makes you feel important.

  • Keep in mind: Reservations essential.

  • Closed: No lunch weekends
  • Subway: B, D, F, V to 47th-50th Sts./Rockefeller Center
