   You may as well go go a diner for brunch. So underwhelming

   Fabulous food, great service and beautifully remodeled. Have been going to this restaurant for many years before it was The Benjamin- they have done a great job with everything since opening as The Benjamin- we’ll be back soon and often!

   First time at the Benjamin and it was an excellent surprise. The food was spectacular! I had the short ribs and it melted in my mouth. Service was excellent as well. Very nice restaurant and staff. A winner.

   While the ambiance is nice, bread and butter service was delicious and the appetizers were great. Everything went downhill from there. Entree orders were placed and then we waited. And waited. And an hour and half later we finally ate dinner. The waiter only checked in with us once during the excessive wait, drink orders were not filled and when the food did finally arrive it was very clear it had spent a substantial amount of time under a heat lamp. For the prices, with the service shortfalls, I do not recommend this restaurant.

   If I could rate zero stars I would. Took 90 mins to receive overcooked overpriced food. Pork chop was all gristle. Fish was dry. Server forgot to put in multiple orders so one of our group had no food. Bussers poured water into our wine glasses. Service was laughably bad and kept getting worse as the 2+ hour ordeal continued.

   We have dined at The Benjamin several times now. The service out of the kitchen is still the main issue. Entrees coming out of the kitchen are so slow; over an hour from when your appetizer was served. The restaurant can't seem to manage the customers; either too many patrons or kitchen is understaffed. Either way, it takes WAY too long to be served. Overall poor service from the kitchen. Wait staff --- not as attentive as they should be --- loss of sales --- no request if you would like wine, etc so their loss.
