Reception

In Condé Nast Traveler 2019 list of the city's 23 best restaurants, Charu Suri and Diane Oates wrote: "Here's the thing about Benjy's: Everyone will tell you it's their favorite restaurant—all for entirely different reasons. The brunch bunch will swear up and down that the French toast is the city's best hangover cure; the dinner crowd will point to the caramelized scallops as a near-religious experience. No one can agree on which dish—or even which meal—is best here, and that's what makes this place such a hit."[7]
