   Four for dinner. One dinner came out 5 minutes later than the rest. That is not fine dining. The acoustics are terrible. We cannot hear over background noise. Yes, we are older but we don’t mind spending the money when it’s worth it. Prices have increased considerably. Again, we don’t mind paying if we have top notch food and service. Our server,Nick, was n point. He was kind and gracious and timely. I had scallops. One as way overdone. The other two were good. They did not meet my expectations though. Overall, we would try again but not unless it is requested as a birthday dinner or something.

   First time visiting, ordered the lamb chops medium rare. They actually came out well done , the server took them back and had them redone. They were not very good even after being cooked correctly. Probably won’t return

   I have always enjoyed Chop House and finally decided to try Benchmark, which appeared to be on the same level. The experience I have become accustomed to did not carry over to Benchmark. With the prices consistent with Chop House, I was disappointed with the overall experience. Sierra was a fantastic server. However, the whole property looks a bit run down. The menus are printed on flimsy cardstock and the ambience is almost nonexistent. The portions are incredibly tiny for how much they charge, and the taste does not hold up. The food wasn't terrible, but not worth the price. The Old Fashioned was decent. It was an ok place for a first date, but I probably won't be back to this location. It's just not fancy enough to justify the prices.

   This was around my fifth or sixth time coming to Benchmark. It’s always been consistently great both on the service and food scales. This was my first time bringing a date and everything was great from the steaks to the sides to the service and even the bottle of wine our server recommended. If you are looking for high-quality in both the menu and the service, Benchmark is the perfect spot.

   Even though we were last minute reservation, because of a cancellation, we were seated in the side room. It was quiet and a delightful space! Cass was our server and she was fantastic! Everyone enjoyed their food - all the food and drinks were phenomenal! We will definitely return!!
