    We were the last reservation of the night but did not feel rushed at all. We had excelled service by Aaron. He was knowledgeable and very personable! We ordered turtle soup, filet and halibut. It was all delicious! Loved the Benders potatoes too!

    We had been here before and had a great meal. This time, despite the outstanding service, the meal was a disappointment. The grey sole was unremarkable, however, the Prime Rib Timken Style was truly disappointing. It was supposed to be medium rare and came out very well done. The Timken rub compounded what was wrong with this dish. The worcestershire sauce was completely overpowered by the over liberal usage of salt. The end product was a piece of meat that was not tender and that could not be tasted due to the salt.

    My wife and I have been coming to Bender's to celebrate Christmas for years. This was our best experience! Our waiter, David, was the best waiter we have ever had. Thank you for a wonderful evening.

    The food was excellent. The setting was, what can I say, it is an elegant 100 + years old building or quite near to 100. I loved the tin ceiling.
