Was my favorite restaurant but disappointed about large group "rule" – Benjy's use to be our favorite restaurant until the restaurant has a rule not to serve groups of more than 10 even with a reservation. It is really disappointing because now there is one close to my house on washington and i am going to be hard pressed to darken the door of that establishment.
Great place to bring guests – I absolutely love brunch at Benjy's! They have a wonderful variety from which to choose. I love the salmon and cream cheese omelet, but everyone else usually gets the crunchy French toast. And I can't tell you how amazing the really spicy bloody Mary is in words- you will just have to try it! There are two flavors of Mimosas as well- I think orange and peach- and they can come in a carafe for sharing around the table. This is a must for out of town guests because the food is delicious, the servi... read more
Here's to second chances... – After having reservations for a birthday dinner and not honoring them, Benjy's suprised me... they made it right. The manager obviously saw my Citysearch review and called my boyfriend to ask what he could do to make it up to us. The manager was very apologetic and asked us to come back for dinner, on them. We decided to give them a second chance and really enjoyed it... the ahi tuna appetizer was AMAZING! We had a great time and will recommend this restaurant. Thanks for the great customer serv... read more
A Pleasant start to the evening – So I'm back for another review. Benjy's in Rice Village is a jewel within the village. The restaurant is nice and the food is good. I always give in to the crunchy chicken. It is a very nice place to start your evening. The lounge at Benjy's is small so when it gets crowded it is painful but I find that the tone and the people there are usually pleasant. The background music works for the atmosphere and every once in a while they will throw a Tribe Called Quest song in, I even thought I migh... read more
Best white chocolate creme brulee, excellent customer service – I love, love, love Benjy's! And so does everyone else on Saturday evenings apparently. =) My fiance made reservations here for my birthday and could not get a spot until 8:30 PM even reserving a week in advance. But, once reserved, we were seated immediately upon arrival and the service was impeccable - wine recommendations were excellent, the food was excellent with good portion size. I absolutely love the Asian fusion in their entrees. The ambience is swanky, ... read more
Terrific food, terrible ambience – Ambience: This is NOT romantic dining! If you are looking for romantic dining, this is not where you want to be. The cafe tables and hardwooden chairs are part of what gives this away. Then there was the 15 obnoxious patrons who refused to either sit down or go upstairs but instead wished to hover around other guest's tables "mingling" with each other like the place was a club on Richmond... At that point it was so loud I had to ask my wife several times what she was saying to me. Service: ... read more
Not Bad – This was my first place to ever have brunch. So yeah I was a brunch n00b. However I am l33t when it comes to fine foods. My hax0rs and I started off with some very good Mimosas. The food tastes pretty good with a hip presentation. Our brunch was Jumbo lump crab cakes, Poached Egg on Bagel, and Beef Arepas. I was impressed but it could have been better. The place has terrible parking and it is so crowded and loud. It seemed as though they are understaff for the volume of customers. But overall the place was decent a... read more
Uh, No – This cafeteria atmosphere place always gets my order wrong, ok, I can overlook that, but then I have to drink a gallon of water an hour after my meal, because it always seems packed with salt, my butt hurts from the uncomfy wood chairs, and it's loud, like a, you guessed it, cafeteria. The lounge would be 7th down the list of places I would like to go for a drink.
Great restaurant and great lounge – Benjy's might be my favorite place in Houston. The cocktails are great, the wine selection is great, and the food is pretty good. It's does not always compare to similar restaurants in NYC and Chicago, but it's close. The lounge food is fantastic for the price, especially during happy hour, and it has a great ambiance. Expect to spend a 1/2 hour+ past your reservation time in the lounge while you wait for your table downstairs. Service is generally fantastic.
