"Little things add up in a good restaurant. You arrive and are cordially greeted and shown to your table past a handsome bar into an elegant, polished dining room, its spacious tables well set with white linens and thin stemware, salt and pepper grinders, candlelight."
"Put all these details together and you have a restaurant like Benjamin's Steakhouse, whether it's one of two in Manhattan or the newer version in the Westchester suburb of White Plains."
"Now there is far too much competition to rest on those outdated ideas, and, as I've had ample reason to extol, many of the new steakhouses are run by eastern Europeans well-schooled in Old World service."
"The nightly full parking lot in White Plains indicates a clientele who expect the same aplomb once found at places like '21' Club and The Four Seasons."
A good restaurant excels in small details, from a warm greeting to well-set tables and comfortable seating. Benjamin's Steakhouse exemplifies this with its elegant atmosphere, attentive service, and high-quality offerings. The restaurant features fine beef, abundant side dishes, and an extensive wine list. The evolution of New York steakhouses reflects a shift from barebones decor to a focus on customer experience, with owners emphasizing Old World service. The popularity of Benjamin's is evident in its full parking lot, indicating satisfied clientele.
