   We were very excited to have visited Mr. Benny's recently and were pleased with the superb and friendly service of the hostess. Our table was perfect and our server was very attentive. The NY strip steak was excellent. The rack of lamb was excellent as well, and perfectly cooked although it seemed just a bit smaller than we've had elsewhere. We'd order both dishes again!!! Seldom do you get double baked potatoes at restaurants any longer, so it was surprising to see and they were absolutely delicious. In a nutshell, we were very pleased with everything.

   The service was outstanding and so was the food. I had the Delmonico ribeye which was cooked perfectly. My wife had the shrimp dejonge which she thoroughly enjoyed. The attention to detail and atmosphere were both perfect.

   What a great family owned restaurant. Great time and excellent service as always, have been coming here for years and will continue to come. The dry aged bone-in ribeye is a must and along with stuffed mushrooms, absolutely phenomenal. Cannot wait to go back.

   Fantastic experience! Filet tender and flavorful, shrimp dejonge was delicious! Service impeccable! Our server asked if we were celebrating an occasion and we mentioned it was our anniversary and we were surprised with the best peppermint ice cream! Highly recommend Mr. Benny’s!

   I wanted to like this place...there were too many issues. Dry-aged, bone in ribeye was severely undercooked (rare) and the leanest ribeye I've ever seen. It was unpleasant and chewy. The flavor was ok, but it was not prime. Shrimp de Jonghe...rubbery shrimp and hastily thrown together topping (rushed). The bone-in filet was excellent. Ordered rare. Decent wine selection, service was sub-par. We had a small table, and the dishes weren't getting bussed initially so the waitress would show up with plates and her hands full and just sort of make motions of putting it down which eventually ended up being the guest's responsibility to move things around. I'm sorry, this no frill stuff? For this price? If the food was remarkable, it would be bearable...but it's not. No offer for coat check, had to ask and then it's self-serve. The twice baked potato was a $6 upgrade and was a very small potato. This place just isn't what it's trying to be. Perhaps at one time, but no longer. They did comp the steak, which I didn't ask for. They have signs about a dress code. We followed it...only to realize no one else was. It really brought the ambiance down. We had reservations on OpenTable, but they acted like if it wasn't on the "written down list" it wasn't a priority. The hostess said, "Put them at the extra table". It was a small, table for two in the middle with no privacy. I left feeling insulted. What are you trying to do Mr. Benny's? If I'm paying $300-$400 for dinner for two...you should have more respect for the customer.

   Our server was wonderful and helped me decide on the Chilean sea bass which was outstanding! My husband chose the rack of lamb which he said was one of the best he’s ever tasted. As always beautiful ambiance to celebrate my hubby’s birthday!

    Food was tasteless and not seasoned. Service was better than the food. We've had better from them.
