What Furman Daugherty likes about Benchmark Wine Bar:
Angus steak was awesome and well cooked. Swordfish nice but a little dry. Wine list extensive with good variety with respect to both price and locations Good service and knowledgable staff. Very enjoyable evening. Will be back. Highly recommended View all feedback. What Renee Stokes doesn't like about Benchmark Wine Bar:
Overall got to say this was disappointing mainly due to the inconsistency, The tortellini was truly awful, poorly coloured and cardboard like with a piece of plastic in it. Packet pasta?? maybe.While the beef cheeks and the rhubarb dessert were really excellent.Three different servers, 1 good, 1 average 1 awfulA real mix of a visit. View all feedback.
