I was expecting a better customer service, food and overall experience.

We were greeted promptly. Our waitress was ok but didn’t engage much. We were brought our food. My scallops were room temp but not warm and much smaller than described. The set up was good but not as good as I remember. The bill came with only the total - not an itemized version I could look over. It was just an average meal. Not bad, not great.

Suggestion to everyone is JUST GO ENJOY GREAT FOOD! Handicap accessible.

Benji's provide a nice stop for lunch.

I ordered the Basque Sausage sandwich and my guest ordered the burger.

Lunch began with bread and butter followed by a salad. The bread was nice and chewy and paired well with the butter and red sauce. The salad came pre-dressed and cold, and was and outstanding example of how good a simple salad can be. The dressing was done perfectly, with each lettuce leaf coated but not dripping.

The Basque Sausage sandwich includes a burger-esq patty of sausage and a cheese spread on a nice roll: it was filling and tasty. My guest's burger was reported to be very good, served on a nice roll too. Both meals came with nicely crisped fries.

It was tough to not order one of the daily specials which today included oxtail and lamb shank...I will need to save those options for a hearty dinner.

Service was prompt and efficient.

The restaurant is nice and clean inside with a good mix of small party and lsrge party tables.

The food is good and the service is very attentive but it is really noisy. Good cocktails in the bar.

We were a very large party. Our reason unfortunately was because our family was coming from attending our loved ones funeral.

The service was VERY GOOD, but food was really disappointing. The veal amd beans were good, but the rest of the meal was just nit great. Bread was stale. Fries were soggy. Salad was OK. Overall disappointing for the price and we wont be back.

Been going there for years in big and small groups. Plenty of good food, great service and a family atmosphere. BUT I could not believe how good the fried chicken was last time.

The food was good, but needs a little bit more meat on the bone. The veal medallions lacked mushrooms, the filet mignon looked lonely, needs a little more appealing to the eyes, snails were good and the creme brule sealed the deal in the end.
Service was outstanding, and a quick note, if you need to order souffle for desert, make sure you let them know 45 mins before, if not, you are out of luck.
