Raphael is the absolute best. He made our night & we couldn’t have had a better experience he deserves the biggest raise in the world. 10/10, 11/10 the maximum amount out of ten possible in the world.
DO NOT GO HERE!!! We were in town from Seattle and the bouncer cut and pealed one of our friends IDs thinking it was fake. The bouncer did this to another persons ID not in our group as well and laughed about it as the poor girl was crying. The bouncer working Saturday night needs to be fired.

Benchmark is a popular restaurant known for its lively atmosphere and delicious cuisine. The menu offers a variety of tasty options, including delectable pizza, Thai Chicken Wings, The Benchmark Burger with a house ground brisket, short rib, and chuck patty blend, and steak tacos served with a side salad and a huge Caesar salad. The restaurant is a favorite for happy hour and trivia night, making it a fun spot for friends to gather. The attentive staff is praised for their great energy and willingness to help celebrate special occasions. Recently, one staff member, Jimmy, was noted for his exceptional assistance during a medical emergency, providing first aid and support without judgment. With a redesigned space and the ability to host private parties, Benchmark is becoming a key player in the North Wells Street/Old Town area. It is also a go-to spot for sports enthusiasts and Hawkeye fans alike, providing a comfortable setting to enjoy good food and drinks while catching a game. However, some customers have mentioned that the vibe can feel a bit off during Sunday football games, preferring to hear the game audio instead of music.
