Tucked away near Rockefeller Center, Benny John's Bar and Grill offers a delightful mix of comfort and taste. I stopped by for brunch and ordered the tropical salad, bursting with avocados, grilled shrimp, and fresh fruit - definitely a feast for the eyes and the palate! The upbeat atmosphere was complemented by live music, creating a perfect backdrop for a relaxed meal. The staff, especially Danielle behind the bar, were friendly and attentive. A great spot for a casual yet enjoyable dining experience... 🍽️

I loved the lively atmosphere with live music and cozy seating that made our brunch feel special.

The service was exceptional - our waitperson was attentive and friendly. I highly recommend the salmon tartare and the lustrous filet paired with a fantastic Cabernet.

My only minor quibble was with the volume of the music; it could be a tad quieter. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, perfect for families and friends alike! Can't wait to return for their happy hour! 🍷✨

Benny John's Bar and Grill offers a delightful dining experience that perfectly blends casual vibes with a trendy atmosphere. I loved the mushrooms and salmon tartare - they were absolute highlights! 🍄🥙

The service was fast and friendly, making our group feel right at home. The only downside was the slightly loud background music, but the live performances more than made up for it. Also, I recommend trying their fabulous Cabernet to pair with your meal.

Definitely worth a visit for a cozy dinner! 🍷✨
