We have eaten here before & the food has been OK.Today I had the Jimbalaya. It was awful, it had no flavour & was very hot with chillies.I eat a lot of spicy food but this was very unpleasant.I informed the waiting staff who said he would pass the comments onto the chef.I left most of my meal.When we went to pay I asked what the chef had said & was told he had said the same batch had been served to other diners & no...

Visited 4 or 5 times with a big group while staying up the road during Tour Down Under. Every time the staff were so helpful, friendly service and went out of their way to make suggestions on beers and wines. Great 2 for 1 deals and happy hour. We held our end of week event there the platters were so plentiful, tasty and good value. Lovely outdoor courtyard and cosy indoor dining. Can recommend.
The staff at this restaurant are amazing - cheerful and very helpful with recommendations. The pork belly was delicious, and the chicken wings were mouthwatering. They have a good selection of wine and beer. Would definitely recommend.
Took the wife and in laws to the rebooted Thursday wings (and ribs) at the Benji. Staff were incredibly friendly and a great help. Ambience was delightful. Started with a couple of $4 schooners before tucking into wings, ribs, poutine and corn. All the food was excellent! The buffalo wings were tasty and the ribs were tender with a beautiful charred/smokey flavour. Poutine was delicious chips were crispy while the curds and gravy were super flavoursome. Finished with both desserts. Well worth the visit, looking forward to getting back there!
We decided to drop by for a spontaneous Friday lunch and were pleasantly surprised! The lunch menu offered great value, with most dishes ranging from $12 to $22, with a few options around $30. We opted for a deconstructed burrito and a jambalaya, both served in a large ceramic bowl and both absolutely delicious. They were only $20 each! The menu is creative and intriguing, with a standard wine list and a variety of wines by the glass, along with a diverse selection of boutique beers. The service was laid-back, but we were able to easily place our orders for the day, and the waiter even kindly turned on the heater when it got a bit chilly outside. Overall, it was a very enjoyable experience!
The scene is well described by others. It was a cold Sunday evening and our group of 6 arrived for dinner to find the place rocking with a DJ pumping out old and new rock to an eager crowd of 40-something's. We made our way out to the dining rooms and found an acceptably quiet table.<br/ <br/ Unfortunately the cold breeze running through the pub couldn't be blocked out so a few of us looked like eskimos trying to stay warm. There were other better situated tables but it was too late for us to grab it.<br/ <br/ Coming here for a comfortable meal and drink session is probably best done outside of winter, or when the DJ isn't happening. (Nothing against the DJ though, the crowd upstairs really enjoyed themselves)<br/ <br/ All our meals were very good and despite being priced on the plus side we thought they were worth coming back for, especially to have out the back in one of the outside alcoves.
