   We dined at Bennetts but decided on the Social Hour menu to test the place as we had not been there before. We had a salmon sandwich and a hamburger. They came with fries. We also ordered wine and a NA beer. All in all it was okay. The restaurant is pleasant, the waiter excellent or above average. But, the food was not done in a caring way and the fries were kind of soggy at points. We will return to order a regular meal on the pricier menu and see what we think. We probably won't return to Social Hour.

   We had excellent service and the prime rib was very good. Noise level is a little louder than we would have liked. Overall a good dining experience and will come back.

   My first time to Bennett's. Came on a Saturday for lunch. This was the best chicken tortilla soup I have ever tasted. No too spicy, but with a zip. Service was excellent and ambience beautiful and peaceful. The restaurant was not very busy so I don't know what the noise level would be at a busy time. Highly recommend.

   Very disappointing. There was a fishy smell inside the restaurant. The bar’s atmosphere and patrons looked like they were regulars having a liquid lunch. Not very inviting. Limited parking. Food was overpriced. Shrimp on the salad was bad. There was only a teaspoon of goat cheese on another salad. Would have to twist my arm to go back.

    Your menu is extremely limited for lunch, you only had two sandwiches for lunch, the fried chicken and the french dip. I took my mom there for lunch for a Mother Day gift and we were very disappointed. The menu appeared to be both lunch and dinner combined which isn't what people want at 12:30 in the afternoon. I hope you considered offering better lunch choices, I hate to see you go out of business.

    We ordered two ceasar salads and the dressing was not creamy like it’s supposed to be, and it lacked a whole lot of flavor. The appetizers were better than the actual meal. Disappointing and not sure we will be back to give it a second try.

    A great Mother’s Day’s experience. Good food, good service, good atmosphere and no sense of being rushed. The staff whose job it was to seat us were very accommodating and gracious given a mixup on our part as to the time of the reservations. Our guests never were aware of the mixup. Looking forward of returning in the near future.

    Made reservations for Mothers Day however, although I checked in early 2:15 for a 2:30 reservation, it took an additional 15 mins to find table to accommodate our party size. We did end up being seated in the private glass room, so that was very nice and it altered the sound/noise, as today was packed. Food was great, service was slower than to expect but I do understand Mothers Day may have been a factor for the slow service. Still would recommend this restaurant as we really enjoyed the food.

    My family and I came to Bennett's for brunch on Mother's Day. I know that's usually a busy day for restaurants, so I was prepared for it to be crowded and for the service to take awhile. While the restaurant was busy and pretty crowded, I was pleasantly surprised that my group was seated quickly (we had a reservation), our drink and food orders taken promptly, and that the food was brought out very fast. The server was super nice and helpful, and the food was reasonably priced and very tasty! Best of all, my mom loved it. I'll definitely be back!

    Bennett’s website and restaurant menus advertise happy hour from 3:00-6:00 daily but , when we arrive at 5:00, we were told there was no happy hour. We did have reservations for 6:00 so we decided to stay and have dinner earlier. The food and service were good.

    We came for brunch on a Saturday, around 11am. The restaurant was pretty full when we arrived, as could be expected for the time of day, fortunately we had made reservations.

    We had heard good things. Since this was our first time at this establishment, we were looking forward to this getaway dinner. Service was excellent, Prime Rib was tender, but way too much pepper overload for my licking. S3.75 for a can of soda tell s you all you need about pricing. Only way we may return would be for happy hour.

    I must admit my first experience dining here, for my daughter’s birthday was unexpected, but Tony our waiter made sure every need was serviced. He kept checking on us throughout our meal throughout our appetizers and drinks. Not to mention compliments to the chef, because the food was fresh and delicious; including that presentation. I would recommend this place for family fun date night or even a happy hour with yourself. We will definitely be back.
