   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.

   Wonderful experience in the upstairs dining room on a snowy night! Food and drink were delicious. Excellent service and a nice fireplace roaring nearby!

   A slightly different take on French onion soup, less liquid, more cheese, with crispy onions on top; very good. The scallops were on the small size, but excellent. My friend had the crab cake special and the meatloaf, both very good as well. My only concern was a perceived miscommunication, as the wine did not taste like the one I ordered, the espresso martini did not appear to have Baileys as requested, and the ice cream was not what I order. No complaints about their taste though, so no returns. We'll be back again. The venue itself is gorgeous.

   Beautiful place, food was average at best, service was lousy. I had high expectations due to the look of the place and sadly, it didn’t hit the mark. Would I go back? Doubtful.

    Had Valentines Day dinner with my wife. My dinner was very good. My wife had the rack of lamb, which was just ok. A bit disappointing. Service was very good until it was time to get the check. Server was nowhere to be found for too long.
