    We were seated by surprise in the “speakeasy” portion of the restaurant, and it was wonderful. My wife loved her wine, I loved my spicy mocktail, and the food was excellent. Will go back again as soon as we can!

    My boyfriend and I went to Benny and Mary’s this Valentines Day expecting an upscale romantic dining experience. That is not what we got! The food was good and cocktails were fun, but the experience was not what we were looking for. The music completely killed the atmosphere. They played Abracadabra by Lady Gaga and many other songs way too loud so I could hardly hear my boyfriend. The food was decent, but nothing special. We got the lobster ravioli and the ribeye with brussel sprouts to start. I wouldn’t say any of it was spectacular. The hosts were also not professional, at all. It felt like we were at a fancy restaurant with a low budget. I would have much rather gone to a restaurant like JOEY in newport beach over this place. It was a $200 dollar dinner and it felt like a $100 dinner experience. We were so excited to try this spot. It was disappointing to have this experience!

    The food was ok. Not many choices to select from. My sea bass was extremely undercooked, and I had to wait another 10 mins to have it cooked properly. Great cocktail selection.

    Took my girlfriend here for an early valentines date night, we had an amazing time and were blown away by the taste and quality of the food. The service and vibe of the whole restaurant was absolutely incredible. Definitely recommend if your looking for something nice that feels classical at a very reasonable price

    The goat cheese tomato crostini appetizer, the salmon main course and the lobster ravioli were each works of art. 'Beautifully prepared and extraordinarily pleasing, we loved every bite. The outrageously delicious birthday favors were show-stoppers. Thank you for a truly memorable dining experience.

    It was an incredible experience. Our server was great and food was fantastic. One mention - broccali was very salty. But it didn’t deter us in any way.
