Cool spot with great food! The parking can be scarce, but there is a parking lot within walking distance. I recommend the steak and burgers with a side of fries.

We held our rehearsal dinner at Benchmark and could not have been happier! Even with a rainy evening, the staff was incredibly friendly, attentive, and so accommodating. Our families and friends were blown away by the beautiful space and the food. People were still talking to me about the kbbq tacos served on radishes and the artichoke fondue days later. Everything was delicious, and the atmosphere felt cozy and celebratory in the best way. The private event space was perfect for our group of 20+ and it was nice that we had access to a Bose speaker and had full control over the music played in our space.
From start to finish, the Benchmark team made the night feel special and seamless. It truly exceeded our expectations and was the perfect way to kick off our wedding week. We are so grateful to Gaylene, who helped us organize our private event, and the entire staff for their amazing service.

The A+ Bail Bonds team in Santa Ana had our group dinner here and it was amazing. We came over from 2112 E. Fourth Street and stepped into a very nice atmosphere with great food.
I ordered the Miso Glazed Salmon with Okinawa sweet potato puree and bok choy, and it was absolutely delicious, perfectly cooked with a beautiful orange-miso glaze. A few others at our table got the Hanger Steak with romesco sauce and the Crispy Airline Chicken with goat cheese polenta, and everyone was raving about their meals. The outdoor patio area with the trees was the perfect setting for our group.
Whether you're coming from Santa Ana, Anaheim, Fullerton, Orange, or anywhere else in Orange County, Benchmark is worth the drive. The service was attentive, the seasonal menu was impressive, and it's become our new go-to spot for team dinners. Highly recommend for anyone looking for upscale casual dining in the area!

We ate and drank Friday and Saturday evenings. Had the fish and chips both times. So good. The pour was unexpectedly generous. The SB Fiesta Days was incredibly noisy. Benchmark was perfectly distanced from the mayhem. Thanks for two enjoyable evenings.

Had a LOVELY lunch in this patio restaurant. The breeze is fabulous and the staff so friendly and accommodating. I had the crispy chicken sandwich and fries. So fresh and delicious! But my friend's seafood enchiladas with the green sauce was THE thing to try. Will definitely be back. It's walking distance from the train station.
Joseph is amazing!!! What a diamond. This place is amazing. And we’re very grateful that it was a part of our family wedding. Thank you so much for this awesome establishment.
