What people say, in short

Diners recommend both Benjamin Steakhouse and its New York sister restaurant Benjamin Prime. One specifically praises the porterhouse at Benjamin Steakhouse. Prime has both advocates and critics, including a diner disappointed by its steaks. Some strongly prefer these restaurants to rival steakhouses while others find them less impressive than their favorites, so the two dining rooms should not be treated as interchangeable experiences.

    Both better than Benjamin's; bad crab cake and coleslaw doesn't work.

    Tried the porterhouse at both Keens and Benjamin Prime, preferred Keens, and did not think Benjamin Prime's steaks were good.
