   Once again a great experience! There were 4 of us and my wife ordered filet and I went with the Ribeye. We were not let down as t Both steaks were cooked to perfection , tender and tasty to last bite. Our other two guests enjoyed the grouper and the salmon saying they were delicious and cooked to perfection. Our overall experience was elevated by our server Ricardo who went above and beyond. I will make Benchmark my go to restaurant when I come to town on any future visits.

   The food was fantastic, as always! The filet was melt in your mouth tender and the lobster tail was the sweetest I’ve ever had. Feta dip was amazing, And the portion could have easily satisfied a group of 8. It was quite noisy and this made conversation quite difficult.

   Our server was a little behind most of the night. Food was good but noise level was high. Would like to see some new salmon options. I loved the bourbon cake also!

   We rate Benchmark with a 3. It is our opinion the food is over priced. Everything is ala carte. For a 95 dollar prime filet that comes with no sides, there should at least be a white table cloth on the table. Save yourself the time and money and get a steak from Costco. Service was decent.

   Four for dinner. One dinner came out 5 minutes later than the rest. That is not fine dining. The acoustics are terrible. We cannot hear over background noise. Yes, we are older but we don’t mind spending the money when it’s worth it. Prices have increased considerably. Again, we don’t mind paying if we have top notch food and service. Our server,Nick, was n point. He was kind and gracious and timely. I had scallops. One as way overdone. The other two were good. They did not meet my expectations though. Overall, we would try again but not unless it is requested as a birthday dinner or something.

   First time visiting, ordered the lamb chops medium rare. They actually came out well done , the server took them back and had them redone. They were not very good even after being cooked correctly. Probably won’t return

    I have always enjoyed Chop House and finally decided to try Benchmark, which appeared to be on the same level. The experience I have become accustomed to did not carry over to Benchmark. With the prices consistent with Chop House, I was disappointed with the overall experience. Sierra was a fantastic server. However, the whole property looks a bit run down. The menus are printed on flimsy cardstock and the ambience is almost nonexistent. The portions are incredibly tiny for how much they charge, and the taste does not hold up. The food wasn't terrible, but not worth the price. The Old Fashioned was decent. It was an ok place for a first date, but I probably won't be back to this location. It's just not fancy enough to justify the prices.
