    Came for restaurant week and added on oysters and beverage’s. The atmosphere was nice, but I will not be returning. I don’t recommend, there are much much better options in the city for quality of food, value and service. Go somewhere else.

    Food was delightful and the portions were exactly what you want - just enough to leave room for dessert! And the carrot cake was amazing! Service was phenomenal.

    I was not impressed with the food. Chicken marsala was terrible and so was the margaritas. This was off of there Restaurant Week venue. Service was slow and resturant was practically empty.

    My husband & I took advantage of Restaurant week. We enjoyed French onion soup, calamari, Filet Mignon & chocolate mousse. All for $60! The food was delicious & the service was great! Will definitely go back.

    It was Restaurant Week and the menu choices were many and varied. My friend and I sat at a table next to the bar, it got crowded and noisy when a group came to hang out at the bar. No one's fault at that point. So I highly Benny John's for wonderful service and delicious food...just avoid sitting next to the bar.
