"French toast was awesome, blood orange Bellini were pretty good too. My wife got the Texas omelete which she enjoyed. Quite noisy, but obviously. Very popular. Reservations are essential for Sunday brunch."

"Food was very unique but calamari lacked taste. Great style but thought music could have been a little louder to create more of a hip setting."

"Brunch at Benjy's on Easter morning was a delight. The shrimp bisque was a subtle delicious treat as we're all the 1st course options. The lamb hash with poached eggs had a delicate Spring flavor & we were happy to hear the lamb was from Katy. The carafe of blood orange mimosa tied the whole meal together with just the right touch do celebration. Yummy selection of desserts & service was attentive."

"Our last visit was a group of six with varied tastes. The menu provided everyone a choice that they thoroughly enjoyed. The fish dish were very good. The waiter was efficient and professional. The wine list was appropiate. All in all a good price value for an excellent evening."

"good, but it needs to stay on top of things, like running out of a good wine, or recommending to just order a couple of starters instead of big starters for everybody. Otherwise, good !!"
