What Ivory Larkin doesn't like about Benchmark Tavern:
I gave this average rating only because their Saturday and Sunday brunch menu do not look at, which are vegetarian or follow a plant-based diet. the options are better in the week. View all feedback. What Yo Yo likes about Benchmark Tavern:
Great Bartender the Sunday morning I went with my two girlfriends. She was quick with our drinks and very attentive. Food was awesome. Great music selection. I will be returning ! View all feedback.

read moreBenchmark is a popular restaurant/bar with a great vibe and huge space, making it a perfect spot for drinks after dinner. The outdoor patio area adds to the appeal. However, some reviewers found the food options to be limited and not worth the price, particularly during brunch. While the atmosphere is lively and fun, some experienced issues with service and organization, especially during busy times. Despite these drawbacks, many guests praised the friendly and attentive staff, such as Kathleen, who enhanced their dining experience. Overall, Benchmark seems to cater well to a younger crowd looking for a vibrant atmosphere and good drinks, making it a worthwhile spot for a night out.
