Benji's French Basque Restaurant offers a variety of experiences. While some find the food mediocre with watery red sauce and strange dips, others enjoy the delicious set menu with amazing Italian dressing. Recent changes due to the pandemic have led to cuts, like the absence of frog's legs and possibly lower-quality lamb. The soup and salad are consistent winners, but the main courses might not meet everyone's expectations. Guests often leave satisfied after enjoying a hearty meal that includes soup, salad, French fries, corn, and bread before their main course. The menu offers many great choices, making it worth multiple visits to try different dishes. Service by the staff is friendly and attentive, ensuring glasses are always full and making the dining experience pleasant. The ambience is lively during dinner, yet still suitable for enjoyable conversations. The restaurant is highly regarded, with some visitors willing to drive hours just to dine there, praising the welcoming staff and the bounty of food, especially the Escargot with Mushrooms and the pickled lounge. Overall, it remains a recommended spot for great food and attentive service.
