Benny and Mary's gave us an absolutely world class experience. From their thoughtful, hand-written "Happy Anniversary" note, to the exceptional food, to the premium care and service their staff provided, our night was so memorable. This will now be our go-to restaurant for special occasions. Our only regret is that we didn't discover it earlier. Thank you Benny and Mary's for making our anniversary night so special!

This restaurant is consistently good. We can depend on a delicious meal here. We went early to dine and the service was excellent. We were met by a woman who greeted us with joy, which is always a good start. The menu is easy to follow, and it seems we gravitate to our favorites. Him - Fish & Chips. O Sea makes the most delicious French Fries. I had the Black Cod with Sweet Potatoes, but not ordinary SP, these were bathed in a delicious sauce with layers of flavor. Perfect for swathing a few French Fries through. Divine!
