I work in the med center and I love going to Benjy's for lunch. Reasonably priced, eclectic menu is always satisfying! Service is prompt, but the place fills up around the lunch hour, so reservations are recommended.

tend to judge a restaurant by the overall experience that I have, and lean heavily on "atmosphere" almost more so than food quality. With that being said, both are above average at Benjy's. the atmosphere: trendy, modern, lively, arty, surprisingly unpretensious, although the seating itself is not very comfortable. Unless sitting on the extremeties of the restaurant, one can feel a bit self-conscious. Sitting in a corner or booth allows you to look around and take it all in, rather than feel like you're getting looked "at". Fan of the atmosphere overall; I feel a little hipper leaving there. Food: very ecclectic although not a ton of choices. However, everything I've ever ordered has been tasty and memorable. Especially love the crusted chicken. Not my favorite place for brunch since i prefer something more casual for a happenin'-brunch-occasion. Price: Food priced well, but the cocktails are pricey. Don't mind paying a little extra for a drink in their lounge upstairs though - now THAT's a place I recommend! Small, swank. intimate yet funky. service: excellent Overall, I've enjoy my experiences at Benji's, although after about 3 or 4 visits, you get bored with the whole thing. The newness wears off and hence, some of the charm.
