Upscale casual favorite in the Rice Village for innovative new American cuisine, a stylish lounge and weekend brunch scene. – The Scene Open and airy, this two-story eatery is sleek throughout with ever-changing wall art, vibrant colors and minimalist decor. Neighborhood regulars and modish 30-somethings sit clustered around steel table tops and plywood chairs or along the walls in spacious booths. Waitstaff is young, fabulous and well-informed. The Food Brunch, lunch and dinner menus change frequently, highlighted by fresh ... read more
WOW!!!! – I've been wanting to go for a while, so my husband surprised me for my birthday. I was VERY impressed. We were 15 minutes late for our reservation and were still seated immediately! Waitstaff was at the table within seconds to check on me. Our waiter was fantastic!!!!! I was also impressed to see how the waitstaff helped one another, a real team effort!! The food was FABULOUS and unlike many upscale restaraunts, there was a lot of it!! They even gave me chocolate cake with ice cream and a candle on the house. Tell ... read more
too much food! – i've always said, "i'll pay more money to get less food" this is the case here. The food on the menu is exciting. but when you get the food, you get it served in a fish fry plate, platter! they give you so much food for your buck! the food was good, but the portions are enought to feed a family of four! with portions that large there is no room for presentation. presentation was mediocre. but i guess thats what you get for licing in texas, everything has to be bigger ...
All good things must end... – After going to Benjy's for years and thoroughly enjoying the experience... alas, the experience has gone steeply downhill. Where I once rated Benjy's as one of Houston's 10 Best... no more. You will enjoy your dining experience more at Pei Wei these days. The food has become pedestrian with a bit of flair... flair does NOT replace creative taste sensations! Our desert (apple tarte) was clearly an "HEB desert" stuck in the microwave and topped with a bit of that flair that added nothing. Wine sel... read more
User review by as1an – The sashimi pizza appetizer is definitely a must try if you like seafood. Our waitress was also very attentive to our needs. The only advice that I'll give is to think twice if you're on your first date. We had reservation and we still had to wait because our table wasn't ready yet. Furthermore, it gets pretty loud in the restaurant since the tables are so close together.
Benjy's - Great, Not good for groups – Benjy's has great food and even better happy hour. If you are going for a big party I wouldnt recommend it. I went with a group of 10 or so and it was a disaster. They kept taking our plates and glasses before we were finished. Rushing us for the table. We had reservations. Anyway, the food, as I said is good. I have been there many times for business lunches and romantic dinners. Great for both. Just not for groups.
Great everytime – I've been here a few times now, and we've always had great food. When reservations were made, we were seated promptly. When we didn't make reservations, we hung out at the Lounge. I recommend the crusted chicken - I could have licked my plate clean, it was so good. In fact, every dish I've tried has been amazing. My only objection is that the restaurant can be noisy as it gets crowded quickly and the tables are close together.
Wonderful Experience! – We ate at Benjy's for brunch. I made reservations and we were seated with no problems. The waiter was very nice! I took the advice of citysearch and tried the stuffed french toast and I'm sure glad I did! My parents and husband had a wonderful dining experience and we look forward to going back. You can't go wrong here. The brunch was exceptional! Just be sure to make reservations because it can get packed!
Great Food – Forget the "trendy" thing and get down to the food and ambience...it's great. Unique dishes served very well. The crispy chicken is still untouchable. While it's not a bargain basement, it's not ripoff; good value for the money. Wine list is a little pricey but a good selection with wide price range. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Salads are priced a little high, but entrees are in line. Ahi Tuna is as good as it gets anywhere. You won't be dissappointed with anything but the closeness in seating.
