Although Ben & Florentine is a chain restaurant, it does not discount its taste and quality of food. The service on the other hand, could be a little spotty even in New York standard.
We came here during busy lunch hour and were seated quite fast although quickly ignored for a good 5 minutes. The menu was quite extensive and the price is simply lovely. You pick an entree and you get free bread, coffee/tea and juice all for less than $14.
I got the two eggs scrambled with Canadian smoked meat with some wheat toast. I was so in love with the Canadian Smoked Meat! It is not the pastrami nor a corn beef. It is not bacon either. It is some thinly sliced, salty tender beef I have fallen victim to. The wheat toast is to my surprise, very fluffy and buttery. I have never had wheat toast tastes just as good as milky white bread.
