    We had a fabulous experience at Benders. We usually have Pat as a waitress and we love her but she wasn’t working so we had Ava. She was fantastic!! Our food was incredible. We had the filet, strip, scallops, twin lobster tails, bib salad, chop salad, fall martini and sangria. And of course…. The mini sundae’s for dessert. I can’t recommend Benders enough!! Thanks Ava for a fabulous experience!

    We love this place! Only get here once a year or so and we need to go more often! Server was Dane and he did a great job. Maple old fashioned and both featured wines we tried were very good. The ala Foley halibut was amazing as was the 8 oz filet.

    The food was amazing… sea bass!! The service was slow and our waitress was not attentive and too quiet to hear. They took our bread plates too early and left us noting for our oyster appetizers to eat on …. Waited 10mins to get plates back and the busboy tried to take them again?!! Maybe Benders should buy more plates ??!! LOL
