"When you go to a steakhouse you expect a great steak. Not that it was terrible but I would rather go to a Texas Roadhouse for a steak then what I got at Louis Benton. I really enjoyed the twice baked potato, and the Calamari was good too. I just do not prefer to pay a high-end restaurant price for a low-to medium end steak."

"Was constantly attended initially to point of annoyance and ignored the second half including forgetting all our coffees; taking our credit card and making us wait over 10 min. to receive our receipts. They were full but no waiting. A table of rowdy sport enthusiast went unchecked our whole visit so romantic was out of the question. Steaks were all perfection, but sides underwhelming. Would go again just for the steak."

"Louis Benton doesn't disappoint. Every time we go back the food gets better. The cajun spinach casserole was excellent. The lobster forno was phenomenal as usual. The shrimp were grilled perfectly. My husband had a tender steak with rich foies gras. The bartender was generous when my husband ordered a double of scotch."

"Food was horrible, restaurant was very cold and drafty. Steaks were dry and every item, with the exception of desert had too much salt. Will never return."

"Nice dinner with our daughters. Food was very good. A bit pricey (400) for four, but it was new years eve so for a special occasion it would be okay. Would come again and try the Leopard Lounge as well it looked really nice."
