    This is one of my favorite places for brunch. I love the chicken and waffles! It is a lovely atmosphere with great staff. A beautiful outdoor patio with Miami vibes. I haven't tried their dinner service, but it is on my list. And I love a good speakeasy if you're planning a private dinner. 😉

    The decor was elegant, reminds me of the Great Gatsby. Went for Easter brunch and the food was delicious. The prices were so reasonable!

    We have been here before when service and food quality were much better, but recently (a Friday night, when they should have been “on” their game), both service (indifferent) and food quality (sauces too heavy and salty, respectively) were poor. Too bad, because ambience is still very nice.

    The food was amazing! Didn’t love the layout of the restaurant. The calling is so high that you feel like you’re in a wear house. Felt a little cold.

    The kitchen is amazing, always producing delicious food. The bartenders are always on point and creating amazing craft cocktails. Benny & Mary's is quickly becoming one of my favorite places for lunch, happy hour and dinner.
