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!

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
