    Our group of three had an enjoyable Christmas Eve brunch. It’s a great vibe with the high ceilings, but never seems to get uncomfortably loud. Food and cocktails were tasty, and thanks for bringing back the hush puppies!

    It took a long time to get our food. The risotto was rather bland and unimpressive.
    Ben ParisResponded 5 days ago
    Hello Jeremy, Thank you for taking the time to leave us with your valuable feedback. We're so sorry to know that your wait time, and Risotto missed the mark for you. We pride ourselves on delivering exceptional service, but also on our commitment to making improvements when we don't get it right the first time. We’d love to hear more about your visit. Please feel free to contact our Director of Food and Beverage, Juan Lopez via private message on OpenTable. We look forward to connecting. We hope you will give us another opportunity to gain your trust and show you the outstanding service we normally provide. Best, The Ben Paris Team
