Other than those it is extremely hit and miss, even at the same place, and the price point doesn't seem to matter at all. We make an excellent version at home about once a year, and it requires two of us and full attention for a good 15-20 minutes just for 2-4 people.
Best eggs benedict for me was at The Benson hotel in downtown Portland, OR.
Second best (or perhaps even THE best) are when I make them myself from scratch. Used to make them about twice/month when I was with my ex gf. However, we usually had them for a late night ‘snack’. And yes, making the hollandaise does require undivided attention. Probably took a good 30-40 mins each time to make them.
