    It was a lovely dining experience in a classic restaurant rich in history. Entertaining in birthday celebration, everyone was in awe that seafood is delivered 3x per week from Boston and the history of the building.

    Have been coming to Benders for over 50 years-our lunches and server were good-don’t care for the new parking situation or credit card fee
