The good reviews must be from their friends. There was nothing I liked about Ben Benson's. Go to SPARKS.
Cons: rude service

Ben Benson's serves up amazing food and they do it quickly. I rolled out of there after one dinner. The crab cakes are probably some of the best I've ever consumed. Their steak was cooked to perfection as were all the trimmings. A perfect pre-theatre restaurant. Highly reccomended!

This was the perfect pre-theater feast, unless you care to be awake for the performance. My sleepiness was well worth the trade off with this fine meal. Salad was fresh, steaks were huge, juicy, and cooked to perfection. Dessert was fabuluous. Next time you crave a steak, this is the only place to go.

As good as the food may be the atmosphere is "nonchalant". Alot of tables and eating elbow to elbow with the next table is not exactly ideal for a romantic night. This also slows the service. An ideal place for a night of brilliant food but dare I say again... no privacy...
Pros: good food
Cons: too many tables

Cons: noisy

I go there several times a year, and it's always a great experience. The waitstaff is friendly, courteous, and not stuck-up. The food always comes as you request it and you're allowed the time to enjoy it and relax.
Pros: Food, waitstaff
Cons: noise!
