    Bennethum’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.

    Fantastic meal all around, salad, lobster bisque soup and bread were a delicious way to start the meal, our entrees were prepared perfectly and delicious. My steak was cooked just the way I ordered it as was my wife’s burger. Our server Lauren took great care of us, thank you to everyone there that makes dinning out special.

    2nd year in a row that I took my crew for their work Christmas dinner there . It was nothing but over the top from drinks , appetizers, and dinner all very good! The service from Paige is amazing , always right on top of keeping drinks fresh . Her attitude is spot on and seems to be a very happy person. I would give our 2nd experience there nothing less than a 5-star review!

    Went here on a date with my wife.  Went here on a date with my wife. The atmosphere is really pleasant and clean. The service was phenomenal! Our waitress was very good and giving just the right amount of attention to us. And timing of the appetizer to the main course was perfect. My wife had the salmon and it was fantastic. I had the Alaskan King crab legs, while the meat was really good. The shell was spongy and could not be cracked. This obviously made it challenging to get to the meat. We also had specialty drinks and dessert, both of which were really good. We would definitely recommend this place is a nice dinner out.

    We love being the date night destination! We do appreciate your feedback and do hope to have you by again!

    When we decide to both get the special, that’s a pretty sure sign dinner is going to be amazing. Of the countless times we’ve eaten there, this one will be especially memorable due to a mechanical failure on our van we discovered once we pulled in for dinner. We improvised well enough to enjoy our dinner and still get to our destination in one piece. Thanks for making our mahi special taste so great, as it serves as a nice temporary respite before we tackle the repair
