    We had a wonderful and tasty meal of seven fishes with wine pairings. Each fish item was the freshest and tastiest I have had and we buy our home fish from Santa Monica Seafood which is excellent but not as good as O Sea! My wife and I also did the wine pairings and enjoyed each wine and was relieved that none were too large. I apologized to Mike that we have not visited O Sea since last Christmas! Our New Years Resolution is to visit more often! Maybe O Sea could have more fish themed dinners like the opening day of trout season in CA…the first Saturday in April.

    Benny and Mary's gave us an absolutely world class experience. From their thoughtful, hand-written "Happy Anniversary" note, to the exceptional food, to the premium care and service their staff provided, our night was so memorable. This will now be our go-to restaurant for special occasions. Our only regret is that we didn't discover it earlier. Thank you Benny and Mary's for making our anniversary night so special!
