    Two medium filets cane well done and the chicken salad contained the equivalent of Costco precooked chicken breast cut into chunks. Food was sub par. Wait staff was Pleasant

    I dinned in this Sunday afternoon, I belive the menu could use more options, the food was adverage, the summer was as well. I know the serve was wating on several tables so i expacted servce to be slow. Overall, i pronable won't be back to this location for a while, i like to try out the many other resturants int he area before i come back.

    I came here for brunch with a friend and we thoroughly enjoyed it. It was clear a lot of thought went into creating the beautiful atmosphere. We ordered the avocado toast and the raspberry french toast which were both delicious and beautifully plated. The service was welcoming and attentive. Highly recommend!

    The food and ambience are always exceptional at Benny & Mary’s. On a recent visit our server Sam was a pleasure… very knowledgeable and personable. And, when a mishap occurred, the manager Jerry was very helpful and gracious.

    Food was mediocre. Nothing special and their desserts were not good at all. Service was not great and we had to ask for water 4 times to get it.
