   Great meal for National Filet Mignon Day! They had an A5 Wagyu filet that was just excellent.

   All in all we had a good experience. By the things I have heard about the place I was expecting to be blown away and it certainly didn't do that but I really have no complaints. Everything except the service was just good. Not great, not outstanding. My steak came out way undercooked (on the verge of raw) and when ordering a $72 Ribeye I expected better. But they did fix it right away and once they did it was good. The service on the other hand was outstanding. Friendly, fast, and helpful. Never had an empty glass or a dirty dish left on the table. Would I return? Probably, for the right occasion.

   From the moment we entered to the time we exited, our experience was the best of any restaurant we’ve tried! We were surprised to receive an anniversary card when we were seated, a free champagne toast, incredible service by Ashley, and amazing food. Pricey? Yes. Worth it? Absolutely!

    Our server was excellent, as were the servers that assisted her. We weren’t rushed, she had great recommendations and information, and was very friendly. Our food was fantastic! Our greeters were friendly, welcoming and efficient. It was a very fun and comfortable atmosphere in the restaurant and bars.

    Very good food and great service. Our server Mike (Michael?) went out of his way to help with my gluten free needs and was generally very attentive. The restaurant had a card and a champaign toast for us on our anniversary! Only complaint would be the noise level.

    Celebrated a 40th birthday, booked online and made mention of this in comments and they presented the birthday guest with a card signed by all staff, plus free dessert for their birthday. Staff and food are always amazing! If one wish were granted it would be for them to implement a dress code, business casual or better in order to enter.

    This was our first visit to benchmark and it was for our 40th wedding anniversary. The wait staff was top-notch… Very polite and very prompt. Our steak was a little undercooked but they immediately fixed it. The appetizer and sides were great. I would recommend this restaurant for a special occasion but not an every day meal as it is very pricey.

    The service was great. The food wasn't. The Cauliflower Soup was so salty that it was inedible. The Crispy Brussel Sprouts were overly sweet and sticky. The Arctic Char was over-cooked. To top it off, the salted Crème Brule had a salty crust and the base was super grainy. Lastly, they are immovable on substitutions which is frustrating for patrons with dietary restrictions. Overall for the prices that they charge...we left very disappointed and feeling like we wished that we would have chosen to go to another restaurant.

    We received a gift card for Benchmark restaurant for christmas. We kept it for our anniversary and used it last night. It was fabulous. There was a card on the table, a champagne toast was delivered to us and the food was just incredible. The service was excellent. Just excellent! My husband had chicken schnitzel, I had a swordfish steak. They were both delicious and the sides were magnificent! We will not hesitate to recommend and go back to this lovely restaurant. My one and only complaint was the noise level. It was quite loud because the restaurant is very open. I guess loud could be construed as lively as well 🙂

    We had a party of 10 that we made reservations for. We we’re treated very well by the staff and management! We we’re disappointed because we unable to get our preferred magnum of wine. (Which was on the list.) we had a small problem with our 2 orders of lamb but it was immediately recooked and an apology from the manager. We all enjoyed our time and the staff was very good. We will all got back! Thank you!

    Went for Anniversary dinner with my boyfriend (gay). Didn't feel out of place at all! Our hostess Bethany was better than amazing! And her food recommendations were perfect. One of the few places I might have to try everything at some point. Would recommend for any kind of celebration dinner!

    Best dining in the Toledo area. Excellent mixologists. The Neiman ranch NY strip is excellent, for my taste it is the best steak they serve. Aviation cocktail is similarly excellent, a tough cocktail not to ruin, they hit the nail on the head. My favorite restaurant in the area. All the servers are excellent, I like Dave and Samantha, can’t go wrong with any of them.

    Tomahawk for two, French onion soup, and giant baked potato was by far the best of each we’ve ever had. Our server Sam was very attentive and friendly. The drinks were excellent also.

    The quantity,as well as the quality, definitely DO NOT match the prices!!! Wayyyy overpriced! Our steaks were not tender at all, nor was mine cooked the way I ordered it. I ordered it "Medium" and it came out "Medium Well" with very little pink inside. It took a long while for the entrees to come, and the temperature was lukewarm, at best. We were HIGHLY DISAPPOINTED and definitely won't be spending anymore hard earned money at this restaurant. The only highlight of our dinner was the bubbly, friendly waitress! She was an absolute sweetheart!
