The short ribs were excellent. Very tender. The atmosphere was not great because of the weather. The desserts were delicious. The Pork chop schnitzel was delicious and more than ample. I was not able to finish even though I tried my best. The waiter was extremely courteous and helpful.

My partner and I had a wonderful time at Benchmark! We were greeted at the door and informed that the restaurant had just redone the menu. There was a good variety of options for myself (vegan) and my partner (definitely not vegan). The staff was incredibly attentive and friendly, accommodating my request for a mocktail and answering questions about the menu. We look forward to coming back and enjoying the outdoor space when it’s warmer!

Stopped by for a drink on the Thanksgiving night! What a gem! Cozy vibe with jazz playing in the background. At the same time it’s hip and trendy. Tommy the bartender was kind and knowledgeable. We’re definitely coming back. Happy Thanksgivingeveryone!
The scenery of this restaurant is perfect for special occasion types of gatherings. I decided to propose to my girlfriend at a family dinner at The Benchmark, and was genuinely so thankful for the thoughtfulness of the staff to make the event as smoothand seamless as possible. It was truly a perfect night, with amazing food and I couldn't be happier with the end result. 5stars!
Had a lovely anniversary dinner at Benchmark, the ribeye was grilled to perfection and the service was stellar. Will certainly be back again to enjoy the great food and drinks. Thanks for making our anniversary dinner so wonderful!

I celebrated my birthday with good friends and good food at this restaurant. The meal ended with a candle on my dessert, making it the perfect birthday celebration.
The food is superb, and there’s a great variety of wines and cocktails to choose from. The ambiance is cozy and welcoming, creating an ideal setting for an outstanding dining experience.
The service was exceptional, the food was delightful, and we truly enjoyed our dinner experience!

I had a wonderful experience at this restaurant. My server, Davey (I believe that was his name), was incredibly friendly. He didn't mind at all when we asked about nearly every dish on the menu. We even connected over our mutual dislike for new wave music; he chimed in when he overheard me criticizing Stereolab. I’ll definitely return just to see him again. And the food was quite good as well!
The service here is outstanding, and the oxtail sandwich was the best I've ever tasted! I'm really disappointed that they discontinued it. However, the Shrimp Po'boy is my all-time favorite dish! If you haven't been yet, do yourself a favor and check this place out!
This restaurant specializes in steaks and burgers, offering some intriguing steak options alongside an excellent burger. The Brussels sprouts are fantastic, too! The location is superb, and they occasionally host trivia nights. One thing to note is that they have speakers positioned in unique spots aimed at specific tables, which means the music can be quite loud and not always the softest, depending on where you sit.

Very nice atmosphere. Friendly wait staff. Incredibly delicious food. I highly recommend the stake and burgers.
Went for brunch there this past Sunday and it was such a delightful experience. The food was amazing, the wait staff were all so helpful and genuinely lovely, and the drinks were awesome!Food: 5/5
The food was full of lovely little surprises. The potatoes crisp in the salad lurking underneath the surface like Loch Ness. The creamy nodules in the lobster bisque lurking underneath the surface like jaws. The lobster bisque was thin more like lobster water than lobster bisque. The steak was delicious but a bit over cooked. I’d recommend getting it rare if you want it medium rare. The side of broccoli was to die for. The dessert was crème brûlée, it would’ve been five stars but they put way too much sugar on top and breaking through that was like drilling through the astroid in Armageddon. It was hard like rock. Our server was perfect. The host however was very snarky in a charming way. if this review confuses you… you’re right. On the whole, we had a great time, despite the room for growth. I cannot excuse however the toilet paper which was single ply
Went for lunch for my Sons Birthday this past Friday. Couldn't believe the quality of the food and especially of the waiter that was there Dave the service was awesome he made the Birthday lunch more special. I highly recommend this restaurant Benchmark And you should try those oyster's and especially the Avocado Toast. Thank you BenchMark for a great experience.
Started off with me going back to the kitchen to get help as there was no one to welcome us. We were alone inside the restaurant dining area. Once seated we ordered the Wild Mushroom FricasseeCrisp Polenta, Poached Egg, Cream, Thyme, Sherry. Awful. Just awful. Caesar salad was served on a warm plate with warm cornbread style croutons. Unique does not mean good. There was no cohesion of flavors here as the croutons were fried in a very intrusive form of fish oil. Steak was decent. Slightly over cooked but enjoyable. Overall I’ve had better meals for a lot less. This is just not what anyone would expect for a $200 meal. Look elsewhere.

My absolute fav in the parkhang! Every single occasion was celebrated with dinner in Benchmark. Loves the steak and has never been disappointed by...
The service here was really bad. How offensive. 3 times to be here and every later time the service became worse and worse. Last time...
With my friends we visited Benchmark Restaurant, because now NYC Restaurant Week and we wanted to see a new place. Also, We interested because 45₴ costs dinner...
Wonderful time here for Restaurant Week. Impeccable service and wonderful range of food from innovative to comforting I had fabulous lump crab gazpacho and a (delicious) hanger steak for my “meat and potatoes” side. Would highly recommend. Lovely covered outdoor patio, as well!
