Very rushed meal, and there wasn’t even a seating after us. Seemed all about the money… Won’t return and do not recommend. The food was good.

Upon arriving to the restaurant, we were notified that our reservation was for 5 people (although I submitted for 2) and we were unable to sit inside. We ate at an outdoor table in 34 degree weather.

First time at Benny John’s for Sunday Brunch. We were one of the first tables seated. The staff were very friendly and attentive. The restaurant is attractive inside and very clean. Food service was a little on the slow side, but we could easily look past that. The French toast and pancakes were slightly dry. The Burrata Salad and French Onion Soup were both excellent.

Accommodated a large party of 14 (with several kids). Everyone was pleased with their meals, service was snappy, warm and cordial, and ambiance was straightforward yet thoughtful. Good for families.

The meat was terrible and either too much butter or too little seasoning. The food wasn’t brought out together so things were cold by the time we got them. Very nice people but very disappointing dining.
