Gone down the dark hill – I'll only talk about the lounge upstairs, since I don't bother eating at the restaurant any longer (too pretentious and not that good). I liked the lounge uptairs in the past and decided to try it again, but uh oh. Immediately upon entering the noise level was deafening and the place was packed with talky black girls eating the cheap happy hour food. We couldn't even have a conversation with the racket. Left quickly. Not the place for us any longer.

Great food, so-so decor and service... – The food at Benji's is excellent and the menu is always creative. I have to say though that I was pretty disspointed with the service and decor. They need to update the tired surroundings and the service needs to improve. The food is virtually the same as the other location but the other location excels in all areas.

Excellent food but very compact parking – I'm not a real big steak eater. I love beef and steak, but I just don't eat it that often. So, when my dad said he wanted to out to eat steak I really had no idea where to take him. I know I didn't want the usual chain steakhouse. So of course I googled restaurant's that offer steak's and came across Benjy's. The menu looked like it some interesting selections so I took my dad there. I was not disappointed. The food was excellent. I ordered the Crusted Chicken which was a very tender... read more

Good Food, Good Times, My Kind of Place – Benjy's is like a mini getaway from the bustle of Rice Village. Located a few blocks away from Village Arcade, Benjy's is one of my go-to spots for a drink or a bite to eat after a day of shopping. Funny how I always find my way there between 4pm and 7pm. Maybe it's not all a coincidence, that is afterall when happy hour is going on. I can go upstairs and lounge while sipping a blood orange margarita (which are the bomb) and choose something to munch on from the happy hour menu. It's... read more

Tasty – The dishes seem very hit or miss, but the majority of what I've had has been delicious. Only bad thing is the fact that on busy nights you have to find a spot on the street somewhere, which can be tricky. :-/

Good dinner, nice wine, decent value – Went on a Tuesday night with a business colleague. I've eaten here about 5 times in the last 15 years but this review is based on my most recent experience. The atmosphere is pretty hip. The menu options were good. Lots of continental types of cuisine with strong Asian influences (e.g., pork dumplings, Udon noodles). The wine selections went beyond California Chardonnay and Napa Valley Cabernet. We enjoyed a reasonably priced Mer Soleil Chardonnay (unoaked, Central Coast) that complemen... read more
