    The food was amazing… sea bass!! The service was slow and our waitress was not attentive and too quiet to hear. They took our bread plates too early and left us noting for our oyster appetizers to eat on …. Waited 10mins to get plates back and the busboy tried to take them again?!! Maybe Benders should buy more plates ??!! LOL

    Service was excellent, food was great. The only thing that was annoying is the light at our table kept dimming and then going back up, so I’m assuming it was just a bulb dying, but that was annoying. Other than that everything was spectacular and we will definitely be back again.

    We had a new server this evening - Bella. She was delightful, most accommodating and just perfect for what we needed. Oyster, Nantucket Scallops and scrod were delicious. A favorite venue for all occasions

    Fortunately we were seated in quieter side room on South side, so we could easily converse. The main room is another issue entirely. Benders continues to provide great food, service, wait staff, etc. And, we try to patronize the local restaurants.
