Benny and Mary's

An aesthetically decorated restaurant/bar with very pleasant service. We were attracted to the menu, so we had some expectations on the flavor profile of the food. We ordered 2 sweet and 1 savory. The 2 sweet dishes, mango lassi French toast and the berry waffle, promoted fun flavors which unfortunately were barely present outside of the aesthetic. I do have to say, The waffle was nice and airy and crispy while the French toast was moist and fluffy. The French toast and the We concluded the savory was much better. They had plenty of vegetarian options!

The food was really good here! Everything we tried was very tasty! We, especially, liked the Cheese Dumplings and the Goat Cheese Crostini! The Lobster Ravioli was very good too! However, everything was a little heavy handed on the salt. If the chefs could ease up on the salt, it would be perfect!

This was the first time here, one of our friends picked to celebrate birthdays. So we ordered: 1. Cheese dumplings: the cheese stuffing was too little so got lost. However, the wonton cup was perfectly crispy and the tomato bisque was delicious. 2. Goat cheese tomato crostini: was delicious but similar tomato bisque above. Needed more crostini to accommodate the bisque. 3. Beef Tartare: delicious and beautiful presentation. Needed more bread to accommodate the tartare. 4. Shortribs Ossobuco: delicious. The meat was falling off the rib, not salty, not super rich, very meat flavored. 5. Seabass: delicious and plating was beautiful. Fresh, cooked perfectly without being dry, well seasoned. 6. Salmon: similar to the seabass. Generous fish portion. 7. Lobster ravioli: very good but didnt taste much lobster. 8. Ribeye: didn't get to taste it but looks perfectly cooked and good quality meat. 9. Banana froster: great Banana flavor and not super sweet. 10. Ricotta cheesecake: pretty good. 11. Coffee cake: good, not too sweet. However, not much flavors. 12. Birthday chocolate cake: pretty good, light and not too sweet. We were there on Sun night, not busy but the service was pretty slow. Overall, the food was very good, beautiful presentations, and "generous" portions compared to similar restaurants for similar prices and qualities.

Chic/lovely atmosphere and the food was wonderful! We had the chicken piccata and the Chilean sea bass—both were mouth- wateringly flavorful!

Jake was connected with all the guests. Present, personable, and smoothly in control behind the bar. The Delahunt Overcast IPA poured a cloudy bronze with a lemony, lightly hopped kick. The Karl Strauss Tower X was my favorite. Golden, smooth, not too carbonated, with a crisp bitter finish that sparked something young and sharp. The crispy pork belly came in huge perfect chunks. Crackling outside, tender inside. Paired with broccolini, a poached egg, and my first take on polenta, every bite was sweet, savory, spicy. An adventure in flavors and textures. The space is beautiful and stylish. Lamps and lighting add their own charm. The hockey game is on, and if you know where to look, there's a private event room that just might transform into a speakeasy. Plenty of parking right out front free with validation, being your ticket.

It’s strange to have a nice dining establishment in the middle of an office park but it’s Benny and Mary’s. They did an awesome job with the atmosphere with super high ceilings and attention to detail. Only problem is may feel dated in a few years. The food was excellent. The oysters were decent but not recommended. They have better options. Same with the burger, they have better options unless you have to have a burger. But all other dishes were well prepared, relatively create and very good. If you have a date you want to impress, I would take her here.

I’d been eyeing this restaurant for a while, and I’m glad we finally got to try it. It’s located where the old Prego restaurant used to be. They offer valet service, and the ambiance is dark, cozy, and intimate. I’m a sucker for that library aesthetic, and this place definitely delivered on that vibe. Here’s what we ordered: Cheese Dumplings in Tomato Bisque – I’m still unsure how I feel about this one. It was a bit unusual, but somehow I found myself enjoying it. Brussels Sprouts – Light, flavorful, and perfectly balanced with goat cheese. I really liked this dish. Thai Salad with Ahi Tuna – The Ahi Tuna was cooked exactly to my liking. Short Rib Ossobuco – My boyfriend ordered this and really enjoyed it. We also tried a couple of cocktails: the Konge, which was more spirit-forward but very well-balanced, and the Adult Green Juice, which was lighter and refreshing. Both were enjoyable to say the least. Service was okay. We had to flag someone down a few times, but thankfully we never had to wait too long. Overall, we were pretty satisfied and would likely come back. I’d definitely recommend this place for a date night.
