Birthday celebration

outstanding brunch menu - food was awesome and service was great...

It was amazing.

Everything perfect!

The food & service was excellent. We started with the kale salad which was a nice size for the three of us. Very tasty & not overdressed. Then one of us had the crabmeat stuffed filet of sole - sauce was light & flavorful. The two of us shared the 24 oz. ribeye - cooked as ordered. It was delicious & was sliced so that we could share. We also shared the cod with mussels in a light broth, very flavorful. We ordered 3 sides - creamed turnips, mashed potatoes & the brussels sprouts - all delicious.

Easter Sunday Brunch

The lobster dumpling sounded so interesting and fun and it tasted like canned soup with wet dough balls . The . The veal was tasting like pork . So I’m
Not sure if they thought I wasn’t sophisticated enough to know the difference.

Our meal at Benchmark on Thursday was the best restaurant experience I have had in over a year. All three of us had NY strip steaks, done perfectly, and tastier than my last at Peter Luger. The diver scallops appetizer and creamed spinach, pureed potatoes, and turnips with pearl onions sides were superb. The dessert, which apparently shifts all the time and is not on the menu, was amazing: chocolate lava cake with caramel ice cream and something they called a chocolate chip egg roll that was like a deep fried cannoli. My mouth is watering as I write. Will be back to Benchmark again.

So nice to eat out again!!! Benchmark was the perfect spot for our first night out since the cold weather set in. Somewhat more expensive than I expected, buy good food and great service made it a great night out.

I absolutely love this place. Our waiter was amazing, the food was amazing, the drinks was amazing. Everything was perfect.

Our server Jason was fantastic -- personable, fast, considerate, informative... he made our evening extra enjoyable. The food was great as well and their patio/corridor is a nice change from eating along the street. This is a hidden gem!

Great experience, delicious food! Very nice wait staff too

We had a lovely brunch/lunch with friends in the outdoor tent. Delicious food, and friendly staff.

Great service and amazing food.

The staff were exceptional! They have a great selection of steak. I enjoyed the ambiance the most.

Great food, great service and a really lovely setting with their tent and safe spacing.

It was a lovely evening eating Al Fresco. So happy we decided at the last minute to go there.

Great food

The open tent was heated and so comfortable. Service and food were excellent. I recommend without any hesitations, and would love to go back again soon!

The food was amazing, and I mean everything we ate. The scallops, smoked lamb shanks, lobster and dumplings. And you can’t forget about the delicious drinks. We didn’t have dessert because we were in a rush but they did give us a glass of Prosecco each for our anniversary.

Benchmark is a solid fine dining choice during the Covid pandemic. We ordered from their alpine inspired dinner menu and each main and side dish was divine. We had a 16 oz boneless ribeye that just melted in the mouth and wonderful French onion soup, but our favorite things were the side dishes of Brussles Sprouts “esquitos” and turnip & pearl onion gratin. The outdoor courtyard space allows for ample room between diners, fresh air circulation and is wonderfully heated for an all-around great experience. It almost felt normal again. We'll be back again (and again).

Kendra made our evening such a success with her great service. As always our steaks were perfectly prepared by the chef and we couldn’t have been more satisfied with our entire meal from start to finish.
Another great evening at Benchmark!!!

SO yummy! And the options for brunch were a perfect mix of unique and classic.
I had the lemon ricotta pancakes and just WOW.

Excellent food & service! Would definitely recommend this place!

Food was outstanding, as always!
Our wait staff team, David and Kendra, were even better than Outstanding!

An excellent experience from every angle!

Fine meal and terrific server!

Always pleasant and the food is delicious. I highly recommend dining here.

Highs: French onion soup, ribeye steak, cocktails, our waiter.
Lows: The diver scallop app was fine, but paled in comparison to the rest of the food/drinks.

We went for Valentines Day and nothing was done to be romantic! There was a foul odor throughout the entire meal. We ordered the ribeye steaks and it was nearly all fat and extra salty. The creamed spinach was not creamy at all and tasteless. Do not anticipate going back. Next time I'm in park slope will be at burgers and beers. Do not throw away your hard earned money at this place.

We had chosen to go to another restaurant but turns out their seating only allows for 2 people. We immediately looked for open reservations and Benchmark had the perfect availability. We weren’t aware they opened up indoor dining so I chose outdoor but it’s perfectly covered that you don’t really feel like your outdoor. Beautifully decorated. Our waiter was extremely welcoming and friendly. We did bring our 4 year old and our 3 month old. Not sure if it’s kid friendly but they didn’t seem to mind. We went for brunch and the food was amazing. Will most likely come back again for brunch.

Wonderful! Excellent food and efficient service. Unfortunately we had no time for dessert due to the 10pm NYC curfew.

Excellent!

This place is great. They have a huge heated tent and their tables are very spaced out. I feel very comfortable eating here during this pandemic. The fact that they take reservations for all times of day (brunch included) is amazing. Their menu has changed a bit and I think for the better. I enjoy every meal I have here. Will be back!

No longer just the steakhouse this menu had lots of options for non-steak eaters. The most interesting pierogies I've ever had, filled with spinach and artichokes they were more like empanadas, with caramelized onions, sour cream and horseradish. Definitely worth eating. It was fun to have fondu, but the fruits and vegetables were not as successful for dipping because the cheese was a little bit on the thin side and the vegetables and fruit did not absorb enough of it. It was better with the bread and especially towards the bottom of the pot when it really thickened. The smoked leg of lamb on cheese polenta was another dish that was definitely worth eating. It was a nice large opening on the 10th and the tables were very well spaced so it felt really safe to eat here. I would definitely recommend.

A great place in Park Slope. They have a covered outdoor space properly heated that allows you to confortably eat by those times the restaurants are close.

Exceptional food, the outdoor space was spacious and airy yet cozy & warm. Highly recommend!

Benchmark has heaters and a covered outdoor space - it was the perfect space for my friend and I to enjoy an outdoor meal in the winter. Not only that, the food was delicious and comforting, and the wait staff were extremely cheery.

Excellent
David is a great asset to the operation

Very nice staff and the food is amazing. Sadly I did not take pictures even though the food was picture worthy...

Fantastic service, delicious food.
