Restaurant week is always a gamble: some restaurants understand that it can be a way for diners to discover a place, others simply do not care, looking more for number of tables than number of returning customers. Benjamin Steakhouse Prime is the former, offering a delicious menu for $45 with an appetizer, an entree and a dessert that certainly will make you think you got yourself a good deal. For appetizer, I got their grilled calamari that was a good change from the usual fried calamari, giving the sense that I started with a healthy dish…The calamari were perfectly cooked, not rubbery, served with olive oil, lemon and garlic.

For the entree, being in a steakhouse, I had to try their sirloin. This dry aged steak that came bone-in, was succulent: nicely broiled, it was tender and juicy, although more medium than medium rare. It was served with mashed potatoes and vegetables that were just fine with it.

For dessert, I decided to go with the NY cheesecake over the chocolate mousse cake. The cheesecake was delicious, creamy with the right density. I loved it.
