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.

Great Easter Brunch.... – Went to Benjy's for Easter Brunch and was extremely favorably impressed. The price-fixe menu was great, and the bottomless mimosas were a good idea (as were the bellini martinis!). The crowd was good-looking and well dressed which added to a great overall atmosphere. The only compaint would be the steel tables which were cold and unfriendly....a few table cloths would be a good thing. My wife and I are looking forward to going back for a regular menu meal, which also looked appetizing.

Best Restaurant in the Village – This is where the most beautiful girls are in Houston, hands down. Food is great, the wait isn't bad if you go upstairs to the Lounge.

deliciouso – Excellent presentation. Excellent food in a quiet environment. Outstanding service. French toast entrees are the best! Then slip upstairs to the trendy bar.

Tasty food, not exactly what I expected – I took a business client here for dinner on a Sunday night -- was expecting someplace a little more 'upscale' (this place seemed more 'hip' to me) -- maybe we should have been seated upstairs? Either way the food made up for it. The food was fantastic!! Atmosphere was lively but not overwhelming, modern decor, 'hip' clientele. Parking wasn't an issue (I assume b/c it was a Sunday night) -- a veritable feat for Rice Village! I'd return to Benjy's for a nice dinner out, although probab... read more
