Best wrap I've had! – A friend of mine decided to take me here for lunch one afternoon. Usually, we go to old haunts around the main village area, but Benjy's is hidden a couple blocks away and it's quite a find! The host was extremely nice and we got seated right away. At a glance, the majority of the crowd at lunch is business (lots of suits, heels, etc) but there isn't a dress code of any kind. The downstairs dining room is contemporary and sleek. Metal tables, wood wired chairs, corner booths with narrow glass wrapping a... read more

Decadent Brunch! – Go and get the Signature French Toast! It is rolled in pecans - I believe - to give it a cruchier exterior. It is a wonderfully decadent experience for a special brunch. The portion size is HUGE, so plan to share or take home the left-overs. It reheats well in the oven (just be sure not to pour syrup on the portions you want to save for later).

One of the best in h-town but get there early – My wife and I and six of her family members dined here on a saturday night around 9 pm. It took us about 15 min. to find a parking spot. when we got in it was so crowded it was like they were giving free food away. so were detoured upstairs to the lounge and it was more crowded than downstairs. the atmosphere was lively and entertaining. We waited 30 minutes for our table and after that it was heaven. the service was fantastic, and the food was dynamic. I recommend this place a... read more

Great service and food – My fiance took me to Benjy's for our Valentine's dinner this year, and it was wonderful. We had made reservations and were seated promptly. The waitress came by within minutes with water and bread crisps and told us the specials. We ordered an appetizer, entrees, and dessert, and everything tasted delicious. I ordered the salmon, and it was cooked just the way I liked it (some restaurants make it too dry). Our water glasses never reached empty - the waitstaff filled them frequently enough. Portions w... read more

Decent bar scene upstairs, terrible food, bad service – The FOOD was TERRBILE. My wife's steak was tough and flavorless & they think they are so good that they don't carry any steak sauce (talk about misconceptions!). My margarita pizza was terrible as well. I think they simply picked up food that had been lying around all day and popped it into the microwave. Our waiter was by far one of the worst waiters I've come across in a while. While my wife was trying to decide what she wanted, he simply walked away rather than helpi... read more

Nice atmosphere, tasty food – We went on a Tuesday evening around 8:00 and the place was packed! No problem, we went and ate upstairs in the lounge. The waitstaff here is freindly and comfortable. We had drinks and then ordered. The food came out quickly. My Ahi Tuna was excellent; I cleaned my plate. The decor is modern yet casual. I will probably make a reservation next time. First impression was very good for me and I will return,

*EXCEPTIONAL CUSTOMER SERVICE* – I went in last night (Friday night) for a bday party w/ 5 other girls. The place was packed!! We were told the wait was an hour...we went upstairs to the lounge for a drink to wait. After about 20mins our waiter gave us a complimentary pizza. We were surprised and delighted! The pizza was sooo good. The manager, Keith, came up after the hour wait to let us know we were next. FINALLY, after an hour and a half, we got our table. Literally two minutes later we had complimentary appetizers on the... read more

Great date restaurant! – This is the perfect place to go on a date. The atmosphere is hip, yet romantic, and the food and service are wonderful. The wine list is excellent and the halibut special I had recently was delicious. The bar upstairs makes for a nice place to enjoy an after dinner drink too. Definitely make reservations a couple days early if you want a 7-9 p.m. reservation on a weekend. Expect to spend about $100 - $150 per couple with wine, appetizers and your main course.
