    This was my wife and I's first time here and it was to celebrate our 1 year wedding anniversary. We had David as our server and he did an outstanding job! Our food was absolutely amazing, we ordered the scallops for an appetiteizer; those we delicious. We both got the 16oz prime rib and it was the best I've ever had; for dessert we got the creme brulee and that was also amazing! Best place overall I've been to!

    Everything was excellent. We went last night specifically because the morel mushrooms were in and they did not disappoint! Also got the Nantucket scallops appetizer , and the black cod and bolognese beef ravioli as our entrees. Topped it off with a chocolate mousse pie. All were top notch. Finally a shout out to our server Sean-we've never had him before but he did a great job and had some great input toward our choices.

    Amazing experience! We’ve lived here for 20 years and never dined here before. We have been missing out! The food was exquisite and our server, Sean, was top notch. We can’t wait to go back.

    We were visiting Canton from Columbus for our son’s lacrosse game and decided to try Benders. The seafood was great! I had the sea bass and salad with amazing house dressing. Maria was our server and she was wonderful! Will be back when in the area.

    This restaurant was busy on a Tuesday night, which is a testament to their overall food quality and service. Not to mention it's been in business since 1902. The food was tasty as usual on this visit, but I'm giving demerits on the fact that our entrees were served well before we were finished with our appetizers.

    The food was absolutely incredible! Oysters were so fresh. My fiancé got the walleye and I got famous halibut 10/10! Our waiter Shaunie went above and beyond for us and we are forever appreciative of him!

    Husband had prime rib with jalapeño grits (not spicy by any means) and I had the scallops. For dessert he had the bread pudding and I had keylime pie. All was Absolutely Delicious. Our waitress was Jen, we could not have gotten a better waitress, friendly, professional all the way. I thought it was a bit pricey, some may not.
