My husband and I have only been here two times but it's our new favorite restaurant. It's an exceptional dining experience. The service and food are just outstanding. The staff is phenomenal and everything is done with pride and such meticulous care and consideration. I'd eat here every night if I could. Can't wait to come back!

The ambience is lovely - quaint and quiet in the main building. While the hostess was sweet, the wait service was lacking. We felt rushed and a dietary restriction was brushed off. The food has been better in the past. The clams casino were flavorless (pretty hard to achieve with clams casino) and the mahi mahi tacos were nothing special. The bbq platter (a 4th of July special) was plentiful and tasty but not extraordinary. We have dined at The Benjamin before and have thoroughly enjoyed our meal and our time there. Hoping this recent dinner is simply a one-off.

Had a wonderful birthday dinner with 4 girlfriends last night. Nice wines by the glass, good cocktail menu. We split many small plates, sides, and desserts and all were excellent. Our server was great- there when we needed him and not hovering when we didn't. Cute sparkler candle for the birthday girl. Room noise was manageable on a Wednesday night so we were able to have a normal volume conversation. All around great evening.

This restaurant is impeccable. The food was delicious, the wait staff so friendly and nice and the atmosphere was serene. I haven't had this good of a meal in a very long time!! So nice to have a go to restaurant now;)

Given the way The Benjamin has been touted since opening, I expected an elegant dining experience. It was not. Everything about the evening was just okay, nothing to rave about.

We had a wonderful dinner at an outdoor table Friday night. The food was great, the ambience was relaxed and conducive for conversation, and the service was friendly and efficient.

My wife and I dined at the Benjamin last night. The food was delicious ... the service was outstanding ... and the ambiance was just what we were looking for. The noise level was such that we didn't have to strain to have a conversation. Simple and elegant!

Impressively bad food tbh

Food was good, but not outstanding. Nothing to rave about nor complain about. The service was really good. The atmosphere was just okay. Nothing bad, just not very inviting. That building has such potential and they've clearly done a lot of work to update since Bernard's, but they might want to hire a new designer to bring it to the next level. It feels like it could be any American restaurant in any generic spot—such a missed opportunity. As it is, there's nothing about it that makes me say “we gotta go back.”

Excellent service spectacular food delicious cream brulée🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Excellent Brunch! We have been there for dinner many times and love the food, brunch did not disappoint! They frequently host large parties (it's a big space) so can get very crowded and loud, but the staff and management handle it very well. The service is always outstanding; timely and very friendly. Highly recommend,

The food was overall excellent. Not all dishes were perfect but everything was of high quality. The gentleman who took care of us that night, Andrew, was absolutely outstanding. He was a five star on his own.

Visited here Saturday night before a show at the Ridgefield Playhouse, it was a fabulous experience! The atmosphere was great. The food was spectacular and most of all, the staff was outstanding! Clearly the restaurant manager, Pete has done a fabulous job creating a great culture for the staff, they are all attentive and helpful and outgoing! Ari takes the cake for the most outgoing of them all!! Thank you for a wonderful experience!

The food was generally disappointing, with either little flavor or bad flavor. Not at all what you'd expect from a restaurant in this class and price.
