The food was okay. It is way overpriced. Not even a soup or salad offered as a side to your meal, no sides come with your meal at all. Why is it so dark in there?

I have been here a total of 4 times. 2 of those times we were dressed in casual/relaxed clothing, the front desk guy or maybe even a manager was very rude to my wife and I, very short and lacked emotion towards us in comparison to how he treated other guests. The 2 other times we went there we were dressed in fancy clothes, suit/tie and her dress wear we were treated and spoken to in a way which seemed much more inviting. Ordered a glass of wine for my wife and for the price it appeared short some wine as we compared it to the people next to us and their wine. We asked if the bar tender could add some more, but that was a no.The food we do always enjoy but sometimes the service makes us not want to return.

The meal was well prepared. We will definitely return. Superb quality. We also appreciated that our waitress suggested turning around our table so that we could sit next to each other, since we were having problems hearing each other.

Always a great special selection. We had shrimp wrapped in smoked salmon and a special sauce as an appetizer, OMG that was fantastic. My wife chose off the menu the filet mignon, which was very tender and cooked as she likes it, medium rare, with sides of garlic mashed potatoes & creamed spinach which is enough for 2 people+. I chose one of the seafood specials, a huge piece of sole, topped with shrimp, mussels & calamari in a special thick white wine sauce over a bead of white beans. The taste was spectacular. Benny & Zee make you feel very welcome & at home. Can't wait to return.

I had a reservation on Valentine’s Day this past week and while the food was amazing, the service was lacking. Our waitress was absolutely terrible and I would give her name but she didn’t even tell us it while we were sat. Not a single time did she check up on our food or if we needed a refill of whatever. The only time we saw her was when she asked about our drinks and when we finally asked the food runner for her to get us the check. For every other table around us they were treated completely differently. They were read all of the specials , shown the desserts for Valentine’s Day and given proper service. I’m not sure what our waitress thought when she saw a younger couple sitting in her section, but regardless she treated us extremely poorly. If you are a younger couple don’t bother coming here and expecting good service. Other than our waitress the manager and food runner were both great!

food was amazing! Manager and the gentleman who was taking care of our plates / running the food were very kind. We unfortunately had a terrible waitress. She didn’t tell us her name at the beginning (which is whatever) and immediately gave off a vibe as if we were an inconvenience to her. Didn’t tell us the special for the night and just asked if we wanted anything besides water. We saw her wait on other tables and WOW, what a difference ! Told them the specials for the night, was nice to them and even showed them the special Valentine’s Day dessert tray! For us, none of that. Didn’t even check up on us once and didn’t even refill the water. But she did that for every other table, EXCEPT us. If you’re a younger couple wanting a nice dinner out, I don’t recommend or at least hope you don’t have the same experience as us. She even took long to give us the check as we sat there with empty plates for a long time. The table runner had to tell her to get the check for us. We’ve never been treated like that ever. Will not be returning. I don’t understand how someone could act so rude to us and be nice to EVERYONE around us.

We had a party of 5 on Monday, 2/19/24. Server was wonderful, always smiling, making sure we had everything we needed. Appetizers for the 5 of us included shrimp cocktail, crabcake, clams, calamari and a pear salad. Entrees included twin lobster tails, salmon, scallops, ny strip steak and ahi tuna. Dessert was creme brulee. Everything was delicious, thank you for a happy night. Ellen C.

The food was delicious and ample enough to satisfy my 2XL stomach. The staff were personable and professional which made our dining experience that much more enjoyable. Their menu has a nice variety of food and there's something for most budgets. I will be dining there again and I would definitely recommend it to others.

Food was great, nothing bad to say there. However our server was terrible. I went there on a Valentine's Day date and experienced the worst service I've ever had. She was rude the entire time while disappearing after our food/drink order was taken. She did not even tell us her name while also not mentioning any of the specials or dessert they had to offer that night. While this would be less of an issue if everyone was treated this way, my date and I were the only ones subjected to her terrible attitude. We were one of the younger couples there and were treated as if we were an inconvenience the entire time.

The restaurant was pleasantly crowded and everyone seemed to be enjoying their meals. We had a great meal which we chose from an expansive menu. Dinner was a good portion size and delicious. The servers were appropriately attentive and it was a great evening!

My steak was cooked wrong twice and charred on the outside. When the brought my steak back to get recooked they served the same lobster cold and without butter. Way too much money for subpar food. Waitress was very nice. Not her fault

Cooper's had a 90-minute wait, so we searched for a seafood place close and found this. It was exceptional in every way. From cocktails to soup to entree to dessert, the service, the music, the atmosphere . . . Everything! Highly recommended.
