Classic steakhouses have always been great for wheeling and dealing, and Benjamin Steakhouse is no different. Lots of opulent interior design (think rich upholstered browns) mingles with the waft of sizzling beef, creating a powerful backdrop for some serious schmoozing. Don’t be surprised if you hear snippets of conversation with phrases like “best practices,” “core competencies,” “organic growth,” and “mission critical,” while you sit with your gorgeous glass of Malbec and relish the comfort of a cushioned chair and the buzz of subdued conversations.
Happy Hour: Yes. Half-price bar menu and $6 well drinks Tuesday to Friday, 4:30 to 6:30 pm; also offers martinis, usually $14, for $8. Try the ever-popular fresh raspberry Cosmo (made with Chambord, lemon juice, citron vodka, and fresh raspberries).
