    The decor was elegant, reminds me of the Great Gatsby. Went for Easter brunch and the food was delicious. The prices were so reasonable!

    We have been here before when service and food quality were much better, but recently (a Friday night, when they should have been “on” their game), both service (indifferent) and food quality (sauces too heavy and salty, respectively) were poor. Too bad, because ambience is still very nice.

    The food was amazing! Didn’t love the layout of the restaurant. The calling is so high that you feel like you’re in a wear house. Felt a little cold.

    The kitchen is amazing, always producing delicious food. The bartenders are always on point and creating amazing craft cocktails. Benny & Mary's is quickly becoming one of my favorite places for lunch, happy hour and dinner.

    First time here. Enjoyed our experience. We had the craft cocktails Konge and Punch Me. Both very good but we favored the Konge. Mushroom pancetta crostini was amazing. Lobster ravioli was delish! Specialty hamburger was amazing. Service A++.

    We requested a specific table but ended up being seated at a booth instead. I also mentioned in the reservation that it was my cousin’s birthday, but unfortunately, no candle or acknowledgment was given. Service was okay overall, but a few small things were missing—our server forgot to take our drink order at the beginning, and dirty dishes weren’t cleared until I stacked them myself. Just expected a bit more attention to detail, especially for a birthday dinner.

    Our first time dining wt Benny and Mary’s and we were delighted with our rxperience. The ambiance, food, and atmosphere were superb. We shared the steak tartar ans bone marrow appetizer. It was delicious. I had the osso bucco which was falling-off-the-bone tender and delicious. My husband had the rib-eye which he declared was cooked perfectly. We look forward to more dining experiences there. And a special note: Our server was wonderful. She paced the dinner perfectly ans gave us the wine cork at the end of the meal with the date and name of the restaurant. I thought it was a lovely touch
