   We had a side table outside with no view. Since it was windy, we asked to go indoors. We were moved to a horribly noisy indoor spot with absolutely NO ATMOSPHERE at all. One of the main reasons to go to Benny’s is the atmosphere. Our waiter was terrific and the food was very good.

   It was delicious! Long wait time, but they were busy. We did indicate a birthday and were hoping for free cake which never materialised. Still, we had a great time!

   We have visited this restaurant many times and have had a level 10 experience but last night was not a 10. Our waitress came right away with water and asked if we wanted a drink . We asked her to give us a minute but she didn’t come back in 25 minutes. She was watching a proposal on the beach with a group of other waitresses. Since it was so windy and our waitress hadn’t come back, my husband asked the hostess if our party of 4 could dine inside. We were told yes we could go upstairs. Well upstairs, a waitress brought water again . the waitress came back about 10 minutes later for drink and food order. Our food was served 31 minutes later. It took too much time to pay, however we did note she was very busy. She was pleasant. In all it took from 6-7:30 for our meals and to pay.

   Terrible first visit. We were seated upstairs when I requested outside, it was stuffy and loud. It took our server 20 minutes to get us water. The food portions were small and expensive. Our server did not come back for twenty minutes after our food was served to us, we never got the chance to ask for butter for our steamed shrimp. My fish tacos were tasty but a complete mess due to the coleslaw, wet all over plate, myself and table. The linguine seafood was a joke, looked like a kids meal. Calamari was soggy. Drinks were expensive and lacked alcohol.

   While the service as always was excellent, the food was disappointing. French fries were undercooked and the fish (fish and chips) did not seem like the usual white and tasty cod I’ve had in the past. The batter was tasteless and soggy. This is the first time I’ve come away from the Pier feeling like I don’t want to come back.

   Food was terrible overcooked and not good. The setting is the only thing that saves this place being right on the pier on the beach. They brought the appetizers in the main course within 30 seconds of each other. It was ridiculous.

   Excellent service. Well versed in menu offerings and was able to help my wife navigate around her gluten and dairy free sensitivities. Food was very good. Ambiance was fine as we sat outside on deck and knew what to expect. All in all, we enjoyed ourselves very much and no question we will be frequent gusts
