Classy and Smart – Benjy's was great. The atmosphere was relaxed but classy and the food was interesting, colorful and delicious yet affordable. I love the fact that Benjy was able to cspture this ambiance without excessive spending on decor or overpriced food. Everyone working seemed to really like their job. You can't go to Benjy's without having a desert! If I lived in H-town I would be a regular. I miss it already and look forward to returning to try something new!
Hidden gem in the village – What a great cool place! Hip restaurant down stairs - check out the wall paper. Upon checking at the hostess stand, the manager found out that we were visiting for the first time and sent us a "welcoming" appetizer. They were these amazing nut crusted goat cheese medallions with a little raisin salad. What a palate starter! Our waiter was just fantastic! His recommendations were right on! I ordered the buffalo and my date ordered the special, I think it was halibut. The buffalo was in amazing blue... read more
good food – The restaurant has a great enviroment. They serve quality food with great prices. They have great customer service. It is a good family spot.
i don't get it – I had the tofu, and the wife had the steak. Both were pretty bad. Both were too expensive. I don't understand why people seem to enjoy this. I think it's more geography than anything. The best way to describe the client base, from what I observed, would be "those people"--youngish people who drive 3-series BMWs, chubby, tan women with bleached hair in expensive dresses that don't fit them right. Etc. Maybe the silver spoon in their mouths changes the way they taste. But my guess is they enjoy the food becaus... read more
Fantastic food, bad service – I have been to Benjy's a few times, and have ALWAYS had very good food there. Usually, the service is also very good. Last night, however, that was not the case. We had a waiter who was so rude that we were about to leave. He seemed to have such a problem either with his job or with us, that it actually made the meal somewhat uncomfortable. We tried to make excuses for him, thinking that maybe he is just having an "off day," or maybe his girlfriend just dumped him or something! But in the end, i... read more
An experience worth having. – We just moved to the Houston area and it was a joy to find this place so soon. We came in for lunch, not very busy. The lighting and decor of the restaurant was very inviting. I ordered a pomeganite cherry sparkling soda that was delicious. We were served a flat indian bread (poppers) that was tasty and didnt leave us full. The service was wonderful. The manager came over and talked to us. We asked him about the menu and he went into it with pride and confidence. It was hard to choose after such... read more
Great Brunch Spot – I came here with 3 of my girlfriends for brunch the other day. Atmosphere is intimate (we sat in the wine room), and the decor is simple and trendy. Trendy music plays in the background, and the service is very attentive (sometimes at times a little too attentive). Everything was delicious and reasonably priced. When you first get there they bring you water and mini-biscuits with apple butter (delicious!). The only qualm I had with the prices was the orange juice ($3-something for one glass??).
Great for Thanksgiving!! – As a tradition, my family and I come here for Thanksgiving each year to eat. Although the hostesses are rude every year, the service is wonderful. I have never encountered a problem and the food is great. But, I would recommend (if your eating there on Thanksgiving), to pick the steak instead of the turkey dinner. The sauce that they put on the turkey ruins the taste. Also, try the eggnog martini, the best ever. The food and drinks are pricy, but it's worth it instead of slaving yourself in the kit... read more
Great restaurant all around! – My boyfriend took me to this restaurant for my birthday, and I was pleasantly surprised at how good everything tasted and how wonderful the service was. They knew it was our first time visiting the restaurant, so the manager personally came by to check on us and gave us complimentary crab cake appetizers! (it was delicious). We sat up in the lounge area, and it had a great view, and was more private and quiet, which made the dinner special and romantic. I would definitely go back again!
