   Great quality food. Steak was so delicious and a lot of flavor. Salt and pepper shrimp were my favorite.

   This was our first time dining at Bennett’s and it was for Mother’s Day. Needless to say, they were busy when we arrived for our 6:15 dinner reservation. We had patio reservations but the gentleman who appeared to be the manager was able to seat us indoors. Service was a little slow but likely due to it being Mother’s Day so we understood and didn’t mind. The food overall was good and we enjoyed our appetizers and main course. One of the starters we had for the table was the meat and cheese board. It was probably the one dish that we were very disappointed in because the only cheese it came with is two huge servings of blue cheese only. No other cheese was served. Otherwise, it had three types of salami, focaccia bread, and deli olives. The main dishes had large proportions. My wife’s mahi mahi was cooked very well and was delicious. I had the prime rib, and my kids had the ribs and fried chicken and poke. The poke main was so-so, but all the other dishes were delightful. For dessert, the strawberry shortcake was divine as was the butter cake. My wife says the carrot cake was so so. We made the mistake of ordering dessert for each of us. Trust me, their desserts are to be shared based on how large they were. Overall, we had a great time and meal, and plan to go back in the future.

   It was Mother’s Day so but not overly busy for 5pm reservation. The amount of dishes was ridiculous for fitting on our table. Chip bowl was on a plate, each small Ramekin was on a plate, dishes piled up. Server was a little overwhelmed. Love this place so we’ll be back.

   It was Morher's Day, but our food was cold, and not just like it sat on the counter waiting for the server cold. We got extra mashed potatoes for our complaint. Not worth the cost.

    The Hostess and Server were very attentive. I had the vegetarian omelet with smashed potatoes and thought it was very good. My wife ordered the French toast filled with orange marmalade. She said a little greasy but most of all warm at best, the plate was not heated and stole the heat from the food. My daughter really likes hash and she said it was greasy, so one out of three. We probably would not go back for dinner.

    Great service, very friendly, but not hovering. Great Mother's Day brunch. Country fried steak and gravy was outstanding as was the burger. Eggs Benedict needed a little something, a bit average compared to the rest of the meal. Overall, outstanding staff at the front, at the table, and the food coming out of the kitchen.

    Bennett's is in the old Bandera location and it is substantially the same inside as when it was Bandera. We had a very nice brunch on a Saturday. Only brunch menu until 2:00 but they have both breakfast and lunch items. Service was good and our server was very friendly. We all enjoyed our food and the cappuccino was outstanding. It's a little pricey, but we were not disappointed. It's pretty loud, though, which is always a thing with my elderly mother but I'm not sure where you can go these days where there isn't music blaring. Overall happy with the experience and would go again.

    Top notch service! Our waitresses were amazing! The manager was great! Food was fantastic! Loved the variety on the menu a little bit of something for everyone. Beautiful portions and top notch quality food! Cocktails were delicious and the wine superb! The atmosphere and ambience is gorgeous! Polished yet casual, high quality service without being pretentious. They also have valet parking Prime rib dinners on the weekends Delicious specials And their happy hours are a great deal! Love this place so so much and so did my guests. I’ve found my new favorite restaurant and I’m ready to go back next Friday for dinner! ❤️

    This restaurant was very dark. It’s small and pretty loud so I don’t recommend this place for an intimate date. I booed through open table and requested a standard table. We were sat at a high top. The following two groups of two were seated at a standard table. We ordered the Thai chicken skewers as an appetizer and they were very small for the price. I ordered the redfish for dinner and all I tasted was a mouthful of salt.

    I understand food prices have risen but I thought Bennett's on Fair Oaks was over the top! $16 for a Cosmo, $27 for a Thai salad with 2 oz. of steak and $17 for a butter cake dessert. The Cosmo had a chemical taste. The salad had hardly any mango with a tasteless dressing. The cake was neither buttery or moist. The service was impeccable, however. I will look elsewhere for a good local restaurant.

    Server was very personable, informed about menu items and offered suggestions when requested. Decor is very comfortable—we got seated in a nice booth. Dark woods and nice attention to upholstery and layout of dining room and bar—very sleek, modern and well thought out. Food although plentiful was heavy on cheeses and didn’t taste as fresh as I would have liked. Perhaps it was the combination of foods and flavors: shredded mixed cheeses with pecan pieces for a “dip” with corn chips? Wilted salad heavy on goat cheese with a dressing that didn’t quite complement the vegetables and goat cheese. Overall a very pleasant experience. We will return to try other menu offerings!

    We had great cocktails, appetizers, salads, and entrees. The side salads are quite large, so we'll likely split them or skip altogether next time. The service was outstanding; special thanks to Jenn and Sarah for their attentive and gracious service throughout the night. We look forward to returning!

    Staff were very friendly and service was great. The menu has a good selection. Prices are high, especially given the a la carte nature of the entrees. Protein comes with a starch or a vegetable, but not both. By the time you add a side, you are paying top dollar for mid-range quality of product and execution. Overall, disappointed. Spent $100 for 2 entrees (small white fish and short ribs), 1 small side salad and 2 soda waters. We don't mind paying that for a top quality experience, but honestly this food is very middle of the road.
