- SSherrieVIPDetroit / Eastern Michigan •2 reviews5.0Dined on Dec 17, 2024Bennethum’s food was nothing short of amazing, with each dish showcasing bold, flavorful ingredients and thoughtful preparation. What truly stood out, though, was the service. Paige was attentive, friendly, and made us feel like valued guests from start to finish. The atmosphere of the restaurant is warm and inviting, creating a perfect environment for both casual dining or a special night out. I highly recommend Bennethum’s for anyone looking for a great meal, fantastic drinks, and outstanding service.More infoBennethum's Northern InnPrice: Expensive• American• Gaylord•4.9
