    Had never been to Benders before but had heard great things, went for a santa breakfast and they said there would be a special kids holiday menu there was not it was just the standard kids menu listed on their website. Food was fine, but very small quantities, no sides, and a hefty price tag. Nice atmosphere and server, but will not be back.

    A festive atmosphere during the Holiday Season. The restaurant was packed but the service and food was unaffected. Very, very good.

    Our server, David, did a fabulous job with our table throughout the evening. Great personality, we didn't feel rushed, and clear explanations. Cocktails, wine and drinks were excellent. Appetizers included oysters, crab legs and scallops. All were absolutely delicious. Entrees included lobster, perch, pasta/shrimp dish and sea bass. All were perfect ... with the exception that the sea bass was less than spectacular. We also had bread pudding and brandy alexanders for desert ... that were scrumptious.

    We had a fabulous experience at Benders. We usually have Pat as a waitress and we love her but she wasn’t working so we had Ava. She was fantastic!! Our food was incredible. We had the filet, strip, scallops, twin lobster tails, bib salad, chop salad, fall martini and sangria. And of course…. The mini sundae’s for dessert. I can’t recommend Benders enough!! Thanks Ava for a fabulous experience!

    We love this place! Only get here once a year or so and we need to go more often! Server was Dane and he did a great job. Maple old fashioned and both featured wines we tried were very good. The ala Foley halibut was amazing as was the 8 oz filet.
