Parking: Busy during happy hour and rightfully so. Their HH cocktails are very reasonably priced. Only flaw of this visit was the Brussel sprouts. Too much stem which causes bitterness. The sever was kind enough to take it off the bill. Will go again.

The ambiance is nice. The food was ok—slapped on the plate/bowl. Ribs were unevenly cooked—some tender some tough. Guacamole was in big chunks which broke the chips. The calamari was good and presented well. Took a very long time to get our drinks and the restaurant was half empty. Not very interested in going back which is to bad as we live within a mile or so and wanted it to be our “go to place”. Won't recommend it to friends. Sorry but we have tried it several times and it remains the same.

Always a good experience, the service level is 5star and the food is as consistent as you would expect from a great restaurant we fine here at least once a month and have yet found a reason to complain about

Met a friend for brunch and Bennett's brunch menu is nicely priced and has plenty of selections to choose from. We had the wet chicken burrito and eggs benedict. Both were plenty and delicious. Sara our server was fantastic! She was attentive, but not bothersome. Friendly and very helpful. It can be a bit loud and busy, so be ready for that at the busier times.

Brunch menu has almost zero lunch items on it. I would love a side of their delicious fries at least to be on the brunch menu. The Mia salad lacks flavor, perhaps because it uses rotisserie chicken. I would love to see grilled chicken in that salad. The charcuterie board was EXCELLENT and more than adequate for my friend and me. Service was very friendly, but not attentive enough. And please please please put salt and pepper on the table

Salmon Sandwich was a big roll with lots of stuff and a little piece of over cooked Salmon. Still good but not great. Great fries though. Baked Brie wife has was spot on.

The restaurant was lively and had a nice atmosphere. The bar is nice and they have a good happy hour. Our server was excellent and did a nice job. Our food order was botched, and they had to re-do it because something had been overcooked. This made it very slow to get our meal. When the food arrived it was pretty good, but a little over priced for what it is. I would definitely still go back again.

Presentation of my Valentines dinner was poor. Cost over 50 bucks! Asparagus over cooked and buttery liquid on mashed potatoes. No cocktail knapkins or tablecloths for special occasion.

Nothing leaves a worse taste than dropping over $100 (individually) on a mediocre meal. My friends and I picked Bennett’s for our annual holiday dinner in December. Bennett’s had been on a promotional push and we were excited to try it. We were a group of 7, so a larger table, but not one that required any special arrangements in terms of food.Out of our group of 7, EVERYONE had a problem with something they ordered. Some of our complaints included an alcohol-free drink that tasted like straight lime, Brussels sprouts half-buried in bacon and doused in liquid smoke, and my chocolate cake that tasted like wallpaper paste. Even the food that wasn’t specifically a problem didn’t really taste all that good. For a group that ordered several appetizers, drinks, entrees, sides, and desserts, to have no one find a standout food item seems deeply problematic.I have no problem spending over $100 on just my dinner if I feel like I had a great meal at the end. When I abandon my cake after two bites, let the server know I don’t like it, leave it uneaten on the table, and still pay for it when I get my bill, however, I have a bit more of an issue. The food at Bennett’s needs to be considerably better than it is, period, not to mention at its current price point.

My wife had the prime rib. Very good. I had the Salmon - just average. The drizzle took too much away from the taste of the Salmon and the heirloom grains were tasteless. The service was very good. Almost forgot, the cornbread was great.
