“My husband and I tried Bora Restaurant for the first time last night. It was excellent!! The food was delicious, the decorations were beautiful, the atmosphere was warm and cozy, all of the staff that we encountered were young but surprisingly all so very well mannered, polite and very nice!! Our waiter was Alton, he did a wonderful job and always addressed my husband as Sir. We would definitely recommend this restaurant!!“

Vegetarian options: The cauliflower wings and falafel was incredible!“

“To start with, I love the thick menu! I love that they give the back stories on the local products/farms they use. And the plethora of options make certain that both my husband and I can find something we like no matter what we're in the mood for. It's also nice to go to a restaurant that has more than the same 6 things everybody else has and to know those items are made with locally sourced products. I can end with a cupcake made from scratch which also supports another small business instead of something premade from the same manufacturer everyone sources their desserts from. It's a win for me!“

“If you’re looking for a delightful dining experience, The Benjamin in Ridgefield, Ct., is a must-visit. From the moment we arrived, the service was impeccable, thanks in large part to our headwaiter, Gerardo, who ensured we felt welcomed and attended to throughout our meal.

We started with a variety of appetizers, which set a high bar for the rest of the meal. Each dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. For the main courses, I opted for the Long Island Duck, which was expertly cooked and incredibly tender, while my husband enjoyed the Beef Short Ribs—rich, savory, and equally satisfying.

To finish off our meal, we indulged in the vanilla crème brûlée for dessert. It was simply out of this world—creamy, with a perfectly caramelized top that added just the right amount of sweetness.

Overall, our experience at The Benjamin was exceptional, and we wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for delicious food and outstanding service in a warm and inviting atmosphere.“

“This is a great pubby restaurant. We have been there several times. I hate to ding them but on our last visit, my wife ordered the French Dip - she was in the mood. The server dutifully took the order and then delivered the entree with - wait for it - NO DIP! Like, what? They explained they "ran out of dip". How is that possible? Like ordering a BLT and getting toast w/mayo & lettuce and your server shrugging their shoulders telling you they're out of bacon. This type of disconnect between staff & customers is a bad sign. A sign that someone is just trying to get through their shift. I ordered a pulled-pork Sammy that was pretty good and did indeed have pulled pork between the buns. The onion rings were enjoyed as well. But note to the staff: if you're out of key items that make up the menu - please inform your guests - BEFORE HAND!
