Ben's Upstairs (Formerly Ten 01), The Newest Restaurant from the Owners of Ben's Chili Bowl - Above Ben's at 1001 H Street NE


Recommended Posts

I attended a private birthday event here on 17 October. A limited bar was open and a sampling of their food items. Everything I tasted was delicious, or at least pretty darn good. They had a slider containing shrimp and something that was really good. They say they make all their bread in house -- and this was the best slider bun I've had. Also good was some kind of risotto. Sorry for the sketchy info, but I had enjoyed an excellent house-special Manhattan or two. They have about 10 beers on tap--all good ones; no throw-aways. There's also a roof-top bar. Wish I had reason to be up around H St more often.
