Love the casual intimate ambiance under tree where you can relax with a drink or catch with some friends. Parking is tight as there are only a handful of spaces behind the restaurant, so may need to find street parking nearby. The happy hour has a good variety of food options and make sure to ask for seasonal specials as the drinks get rotated. For now, they have a dill pickle beer which is a nice balance between the two flavors and would be perfect for pickle lovers! The artichoke fondue was recommended as a popular dish - the warm pretzel was very enjoyable but the fondue was a little too runny and hard to get onto the pretzel. Next was the elote arancini - it's a heavier appetizer but it's packed with flavors and the pickled red onion is refreshing. The staff is all so friendly in giving recommendations and consistently checks in on the experience. They're also very personable and seem to connect with many returning customers
Food: I had a great expectation on the food and it somehow fell short on my expectation. We came here for a weekend brunch so all these food are brunch only food. The brunch menu wasn't impressive in my opinion. We ended up ordering some fries (love it!), a toast (too sweet and heavy for our palate), Kimchi fried rice (not bad but not recommended), and a Smoked salmon on toasted bread (highly recommended), and a nice cocktail (can't remember name). Service: Prompt but also hard to flag as we sat outside and she had to travel between other areas and ours. We had to wait a while just to order food. Ambiance: Noisy as it's outside and can be really hot in the summer. Parking: This is where the experience really got a low rating for me as I had to circle the block 4 times to find parking. At the end we were told by the staff that we could just park in the large parking lot nearby and walked over. However, there was a sign in the middle of the parking lot stating that it was reserved for an event that day and people cannot park there without paying some kind of fee. Ridiculous! Keep in mind if you want to come here during the weekend, be prepared to walk for a long while unless you get lucky and find a spot nearby.
Best service. Great vibes. And one of the best burgers I've had in a long time. We stopped at Benchmark to start burger week off. Little did we know that it didn't start till 4pm. Oops! However, I still decided to order the burger they had on the menu. The only reason I was going to try it and not save my burger week pick for a different restaurant was because our waiter Joseph, sold it to us so well! And I'm so happy I believed him. It's definitely a mistake try if you love burgers and juicy tasty ones too. We also ordered their açaí bowl and that was prepped so well and all the flavors from the fruit and cinnamon and honey went all well together. Definitely something to have on a warm day. Joseph tried selling us on their fondue but we felt it was way too much food so we opted out but vowed to try it next time. He was so kind though and let us sample a small amount. Amazing! You have to get the fondue!!! The place is only outdoor seating but it's all shaded and fresh. Parking is located past Benchmark and right after a Coffee shop made out of bricks. The parking is validated as well.
Celebrated a friend's 40th birthday here for dinner. A cute little place with a cute vibe. We had a group of 5 and got to sit on a corner of the outside patio. Our waitress was friendly and sweet. We ordered salads, burger, pasta, fries, and a couple drinks. Overall it was a great place to eat and hang. The only downside was when our checks got switched with another table and it took them a long time to resolve it. Other than that, everything was great!
Ate dinner there. Food was very good with unique flavor pairings. Started with the truffle arancini which are balls of risotto deep fried. They were probably the least favorite thing we had. The center was a bit gooey but the accompanying sauce was excellent. We had the cabbage which was very good - a-little on the spicy side but that was good for us The salmon had a miso marinade which was delicious- very flavorful and moist. Finally ended with the butter cake which was fantastic . Reminded us of the old Bacardi rum cake recipe. Waiter was very good and attentive despite the fact i think he was the only waiter working ONE NOTE : they don't have a full liquor license but they have sake was infused with the spirit you wanted. So i had an old fashioned and surprisingly it tasted like an old fashioned after the ice had melted a little in the glass. The acohol content was only 24% so if you wanted a stiff drink you were out of luck but the prices for the drinks seemed reasonable
Came here before for brunch and thought was pretty standard. Came again for dinner. Even on a Sunday, place was packed. Friends and I did family style. Got to try so many dishes. They were all delicious. My favorite was the Thai seafood curry- full of generous amount of seafood. Buttercake was yummy. Reminds me of mastros. Lavender haze cocktail was whatevers, really low amount of alcohol added.
Such a cute little restaurant in the heart of dt Santa Ana. Luckily the weather was in our favor today during lunch time and it was so nice to sit outside. Tables were under a canopy and there was a nice breeze. Service was good, not super crowded and no wait! Win win! Most importantly, the food was really good! The French toast looked like it was going to be sweet but it was perfect! Not overly saturated with the dulce le leche or the syrup. Highly recommend! My daughter liked the chicken sandwich, had a little Asian twist with the pickled carrots. The artichoke dip was good but it tasted more like a soup but the pretzel sticks were soft. The chicken zinga was good too but it was basically the inside of an enchilada in a cast iron dish. All in all, great experience and food. Def would go again and would recommend!
We came for lunch and the environment is nice outside, we were seated outdoors. I remember the sun could be an issue, a lot of the areas aren't shaded. It seems like this spot is super popular for brunch drinks. Had the birria taco and this one was probably my favorite of the dishes tha we ordered. There is a crispy shell, two different sauces, and condiments to add with it. There is a lot of different textures and the meat was juicy. The smoked salmon flatbread wasn't as good, it looks very colorful and pretty, but I didnt think the flavors went together very well. I like the smokiness but the salmon wasn't umami enough to justify mixing in caviar and avocado and arugula that would normally pair well with beef. Finally, had the chicken tinga skillet, which had flavor in the sauce, but the chicken itself was just ok.
This place is one of the cutest spots in Santa Ana!! It is fully outdoors and has such a cute vibe. Their food and drinks were also super tasty. We only tried some appetizers but Thoroughly enjoyed the experience here. The server and bartender were both very welcoming and friendly! Definitely going back for a full meal experience!!
We LOVED this restaurant for brunch. Here's a few notes: - Parking was pretty difficult, they have a small lot behind the restaurant but you'll have to park on the street otherwise - The entire restaurant is primarily outdoors/patio vibes. I loved it though and it's pretty covered so even if you do go for brunch the entire patio is shady which prevents the sun from burning you - the staff and our waitress were so nice and patient. they'll take the time to go over the menu with you even during a busy brunch rush - food was SO GOOD. I ate the furai chicken and thankfully they refill the chips once you run out I'm pretty sure this place is dog friendly, BUT i didn't bring my doggo this time around.
The drinks, fries, and rigatoni were so good! I'll be coming back for sure . Also the waiters and the service was top notch !!
I can't speak highly enough of our experience here. We had a group of 30 rent out their separated banquet room for a graduation lunch. The processes of selecting a fixed menu, decor and setup were seamless. We were able to visit ahead of time and were walked through all of our options. Day of, our guests had a great time and raved about the food! (Burgers, tacos, salads, fries) - you can't go wrong with any of the options! A VERY special shoutout to MITCHELL, who was our go-to staff member during our lunch. He took care of all of us and was practically part of the family by the end of the meal! To this day, people in the group talk about Mitchell. Rockstar - give that man a raise or promotion or something!
We had difficulty with the validation for parking. Their website doesn't mention that you should not pay for parking before you give the server your license plate number. It just says to give the server your license plate number. The parking lot also states that you have to pay for parking when you first park. We didn't want a ticket or to get our car towed so we paid. No reimbursement for us. We ordered the miso salmon, burger, arancini, and pear tart. The plating of the food was pretty. The salmon itself was good but the sweet potato purée was so gingery. My fiancé has a mild allergy to ginger and ginger was not mentioned in the ingredients even though the whole purée only tasted of ginger and not sweet potato. Maybe we should have told them about the allergy and shouldn't have assumed that it would be a ginger puree instead of sweet potato. The burger was extra well done with a lot of burnt char and tasted super burnt. The arancini and the pear tart were tasty and light, but the server didn't bring us a knife to cut the tart. It was a struggle cutting the tart with a spoon. The best food of the night was those parmesan fries. It had great crunch, texture, and flavor especially with the garlic aioli. It was kinda difficult getting a server's attention because they seemed to be crowding and talking to each other near the bar. The place had a lot of flies, which I guess can be expected for an outdoor restaurant. We felt like we were swatting at flies more than eating the food. Overall, the place had cute lights, decoration, and nature aspect. Very unsure if we will come back.

I came here on a Saturday night at 7pm with a reservation but it wasn't too busy so you could probably also walk in. The seating/restaurant is outside kind of like a patio setting, and the ambience is very cute and rustic. There were multiple tables open, so the waiter let us choose where to sit which was very sweet. - roasted sweet potato and brussels sprouts: 9.8/10. AMAZING. It sounds simple, but the way they season, dress, and cook this is absolutely delicious especially with their little additional toppings (cranberries and pumpkin seeds). I would come back here just to eat this. The portion is also very generous. - roasted citrus half chicken: 8.1/10. The chicken was HUGE, delicious, and juicy, but I'm not sure I enjoyed the other things accompanying the chicken (kennebec steak fries and baby spinach did not complement the chicken well or were maybe under seasoned). - short rib rigatoni: 8.0/10. Plenty of short rib and well cooked pasta! Yummy, but I wouldn't get this again. read more

Wow! This was such a find in the heart of Santa Ana. First off, it is an outdoor venue. The decor is modern and relaxed with a cool vibe. There is a bar with a screen TV to hang out at. Reservations preferred as it is on the smaller side, and has a seated time limit of 90 minutes (plenty of time to enjoy your meal). There is a parking lot a block away that is worth it. Now for the food and service. Our server was Julissa and she was outstanding! She was happy, energetic and confident. She could make recommendations that were helpful and knew the ingredients and menu options effortlessly. Absolutely enjoyed our time with her - thank you Julissa! For starters we had the Korean BBQ Tacos - 10/10 with a beautifully seasoned meat on a large radish and tangy cabbage slaw. You get 4 of them. So good! For our meals we choose the Roasted Sweet Potato and Brussel Sprouts with cranberries and a spicy chipotle sauce. My friend loved it! I had the Crispy Airline Chicken over asparagus and pees in a creamy sauce. 9/10. It was good but I would've liked to have an added taste such as sun-dried tomatoes or artichoke hearts to give it a bit more texture and punch. For desert we had their most popular dish - Brown Butter Cake (10/10) - it did not disappoint. A spongy, soft, round cake with crushed pecan pieces, vanilla gelato, drizzled with caramel. A nice palate ending. I could see having this with a warm cup of coffee or tea. As a side note, since it is outside there were some small flies around occasionally but that can't be helped - just a heads up. Overall, it was excellent and I was already telling others about the wonderful experience we had here. Thanks Benchmark - see you soon! read more

Benchmark is a total hidden gem--the kind of place you could drive by every day and completely miss! Inside, the tables are arranged in a lovely open-air setting that's absolutely perfect for catching up with friends. We shared a bunch of dishes: the Korean BBQ Tacos, Chorizo flatbread, artichoke fondue, and the Gochujang chicken. Everything was fantastic, but the Gochujang chicken was the absolute standout thanks to a glaze that hit the perfect sweet and spicy balance. The Chorizo flatbread was a close second, but honestly, you can't go wrong here. Pro Tip on Parking: On-site parking is limited, but there's a paid lot just a short walk away. Do not prepay on the app! Even though the app prompts you to pay, Benchmark will actually validate up to three hours. Just note your section number and license plate, and give them to the restaurant when you arrive. We accidentally paid $10 in advance before realizing they could credit us, so learn from our mistake! read more

Our server took his time to answer all of our questions and make sure we had everything we needed. They don't have any special coffee like lattes which seems weird for a spot that's so popular for brunch. There's a coffee shop across the street and they let you bring their coffee into the restaurant. The kimchi fried rice was good but the French toast was pretty dry. The outdoor seating area is really cute tho. read more
This is a cute little outdoor restaurant tucked in a residential neighborhood. The vibe is chic yet cozy and fairly quiet, but the food and drinks were not or miss. We came for brunch and ordered the smoked salmon flatbread, French toast, kimchi fried rice, and chicken tinga skillet. My favorites are the French toast and kimchi fried rice. The French toast is huge and great for sharing. The kimchi fried rice is flavorful with strong gochujang flavors. and the steak on top is tender. I didn't really enjoy the smoked salmon flatbread. There was very little caviar and the flatbread had a weird texture, almost like a banh xeo. The espresso martini was a huge miss. It did not have the rich espresso flavor and tasted like coffee flavored rubbing alcohol. I'll stick to wine if I come here again. read more
Super cute spot in an area of down town Santa Ana that has been through some revitalization. All patio/outdoor seating from what I saw. Big tables for larger groups. Super friendly staff. Came here for brunch on Sunday. Arrived right when they opened so it wasn't busy, obviously, when we got there. But was bumpin' by the time we left. We ordered a little of everything. My nephew really liked the açaí bowl. Brother in law thought the burger was good. Everyone at the table loved the fries; that we ended up ordering a second round. I had the chicken tinga. It needed a pinch of salt and would have liked some heat in it. It was described as a skillet for brunch so I thought maybe it would be on home fries or have a fried egg on top. But it was just chicken tinga served in a mini skillet with house made tortilla chips. It was decent, but I guess I'm partial to the spicier tinga I make at home. We also had the avocado toast on a croissant with poached egg and arugula. Was a bit underwhelming. Nothing special. Tres leches French toast was tasty but dry. We ended up asking for more sauce for it. Lobster chilaquiles with poblano cream sauce was the tastiest thing we ordered, and it was actually quite good with a decent heat to the sauce. I ended up actually asking for an extra side of the poblano sauce to put in my tinga to give it some flavor. Overall, it was a cool little spot for brunch, chill vibes, friendly staff. Not any real parking to speak of, so you had to find street parking and walk. It wasn't a bad spot to chill, and nothing we ate was bad in any way. But to be honest, nothing blew us away. read more

(4.5) Super cute must-try spot in Santa Ana! I've been here a few times now for both dinner and brunch. The ambiance and vibe is sooo pretty and it's the perfect spot to get-together with your girls or to have a date night. Most recently I came with my girls on a Saturday afternoon. A lot of us either got the crispy chicken sandwich or the burger. Both were good but not mind blowing. We all enjoyed the appetizers/shareables though! I'd definitely come back to get the French toast and smoked salmon flatbread. Overall, I do prefer their dinner menu choices, though, over brunch. Service was great! We had a reservation for a large party of 15 and the staff were really nice and attentive. FYI - originally I was trying to reserve their private dining room (they call it the garage) but it was all booked up on the day that I wanted. So the event coordinator helped me make a standard reservation instead. I was told that for standard reservations, they can only host up to 15 guests. Luckily I had that exact number. Anything more than that will require a private dining room reservation! Parking: they have a very small back lot and street parking is available. BUT, I suggest parking at Ebell! It's a much bigger lot with many spaces, free, and less than one block away. :) super easy! read more

Fairly disappointing. So not our first time here. Food had been decent in the past but everything about this establishment seems to have gone downhill. First the good: Hangar steak is decent. Good cut of meet. Well flavored. Cooked properly. The restaurant itself is all mostly outdoors and has a nice vibe overall. Has the feel of a quaint neighborhood bistro. Sadly that's where things drop off. The Bad. First and foremost, most dishes were terribly under seasoned and lacking in flavor. The Artichoke Fondue, which is a popular staple here, was bland and had no real identity at all. The Korean BBQ meat was decently cooked, but also largely flavorless and totally devoid of character without its accompaniments. Next, the Gochuchang friend chicken. Have had this dish in the past and it was interesting and seemed to hold promise, but upon closer review, it now comes across like dry frozen chicken pieces in a barely tolerable mix of Buffalo/ and a sweet Thai chili sauce. Buried in sesame seeds, which really add nothing to the flavor in the amount the dish contains Finally the Ugly: Service was just dreadful. There seemed to be one server and an assistant, maybe, working the entire section. Dishes came out at different times. Staggered. Felt like things were missed. Forgotten. Each course was an excuse from the staff for the poor service which starts to ring hollow after the 3rd or 4th time, and when tables sat after you, have finished and left before you have even received your entree. Benchmark has the feel of a quaint neighborhood bistro, with reasonable Prices, but the experience is simply underwhelming and not worth it. Would not return or recommend. Sad because there is some potential to this locale. read more

I came for happy hour for a girl dinner and I was a bit scared after reading the recent reviews but I enjoyed it. Our waiter was very kind and checked up on us at the perfect times. The tables are outdoor so bring a jacket just in case. I love that there are lots of string lights and plants because it adds warmth to the seating area. Food Consensus: We ordered the shishito peppers, Parmesan fries, artichoke fondue + pretzels, short rib rigatoni, little gem Caesar salad, and streak frites. For drinks, I ordered the guava Paloma. I'd order the shishito peppers and artichoke fondue + pretzels again. The shishito peppers and pork belly were nice and flavorful. I also just have a predilection for spicy foods. I love the surprise element of shishito peppers because you never know which one will be spicy. The artichoke wasn't very present in the dip but the pretzels were to die for. Perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. I think all the other dishes were decent! Those 2 just happen to be the standouts to me. I would recommend coming during happy hour! read more

Love the atmosphere of the space, but we all know you're here for the food. And I have to say. They could serve this food to me in a cardboard box and I would still give a 5 stars. Every single bite was delicious. Great flavors, great textures and great ingredients. The staff was very friendly and service was quick too. Absolutely recommend read more

This place checks all the boxes! We went for a bday celebration and sat outside, it has a really cool vibe & atmosphere, but before we sat down Joseph told us all about the restaurant, and the extra dining room for larger parties that had an attached Airbnb! Plans were already swirling in our heads for a girls trip! It was happy hour and the menu had some great deals, lots of family style plates so we got several to share. The menu was creative and everything sounded delicious so it was hard to decide but Joseph made some solid suggestions that we all ended up loving! We all shared the Artichoke Fondue w/Bavarian Pretzel Sticks, Korean BBQ Tacos, Parmesan Herb Fries and the Chorizo Flatbread. The textures, the flavors, the spice combos were fantastic! For dinner we got the Gochujang Chicken, Charred Cabbage Wedge, Strawberry & Arugula salad w/Chicken, and Cesar Salads. NONE of the food was a miss for us, we all raved about how flavorful and different the dishes were. We were so full and couldn't eat another bite but Joseph surprised our birthday girl with a Brown Butter Cake topped with Pecans and Vanilla Gelato & Strawberry Gelato w/fresh strawberries - and 5 spoons! All of a sudden we weren't so full anymore Do yourself a favor - get the Brown Butter Cake for dessert! Joseph told us about their brunch and how the menu changes so we will be coming back with The Men! We had the best time and the food and service was top tier! Thank you Joseph for such wonderful attention to detail and conversation, we hope to see you again soon! read more

I liked: Chorizo Goat Cheese Flat Bread This was ok: Parmesan Herb Fries Steak Sandwich I did not like: Artichoke Fondue I'm surprised I didn't like this restaurant since I normally like New American. The flat bread was decent but I didn't expect it to be so sweet instead of savory. The fries are mid, the steak itself is good but the sauce is overpowering and the bread was difficult to bite through. The fondue is highly rated but was pretty sour when I had it. We actually thought the restaurant was closed because there's not a lot of people sitting in the front. They had people in the back alcove closer to the parking. Speaking of parking, there aren't a lot of spots and street parking is pretty full as well. Best thing about the restaurant is that the decor is very cute and well put together. If I do come back, I'd want to try the short rib orcchiette. The couple next to us said that was the best thing they had. read more

Recently had dinner at Benchmark for a friend's birthday. Our server Tiffany, who also is one of the bartenders, was amazing and such a hoot! The food and drinks are always divine. They do change out some items depending on the season but you really can't go wrong with what you ordered. This time around we ordered burrata + zucchini flatbread (AMAZING, please keep this on the menu) and parmesan herb fries for the table. - though we didn't get it this time, the shishito + crispy pork belly is also yummy. We also ordered the roasted sweet potatoes + Brussels sprouts, miso glazed salmon, shrimp + broccoli risotto, and crispy chicken linguine. No notes, all very delicious! Drinks were good, per usual. They use spirit-infused sake and are all crafted cocktails. Ambiance is super cute! Love the outdoor setting and all the lantern lights. Benchmark is perfect for dinner with friends or date night. Highly recommend! read more

This is an old review. Hubby & I was in the area & I've been wanting to try this place so we came here for dinner on a Sunday night. Weather was nice so we sat outdoors. Service was friendly & attentive. We started off with cocktails & as for food, we shared the ahi tuna served over sesame crackers, roasted citrus half chicken, & I believe it was the crispy pork belly. Everything was flavorful & delicious! Ahi tuna was fresh & perfect bite size. The chicken & pork was tender. Drinks were on point & not too sweet. I def look forward to coming back to try other dishes on the menu. read more

What a beautiful spot for a Sunday brunch! There are only outdoor seating and we went exactly at 12pm when they open and got seated right away. Food came out relatively fast and our server was attentive. The food was great, I honestly have nothing to note but the kimchi fried rice that comes with a fried egg and steak was delicious! You can add some sliced avocado on top with an additional charge but I opt out on that. My friend, however, loved it with the extra avocado. My other friend ordered the birria tacos and she really liked it (she's very picky about her tacos so it was impressive to see that she gave it a thumbs up). Lastly, the music was very good, our group had such a great time here! Side note: the restrooms are located in the other building next to the restaurant and parking is horrendous if you're going at peak hours. read more
Cute little place.. it's a converted garage but super trendy and cool. I got the lobster/shrimp enchilada and the French toast. Enchilada was great , seafood was cooked just right and the French toast was good too. Service was friendly/fast and it's in a nice little part of town. Go support this business! read more

Very cute & nice decor setup & relaxed atmosphere here. I love the way they've repurposed a container for the outside building next to the two outside patio dining areas. Love the outside spaces, makes a lovely weekend brunch experience even better. Great place for gatherings for birthday parties which so many people do enjoy here. Artichoke fondue: 4 stars Bavarian pretzel sticks was nice warm & fluffy but the actual dip was on the salty side. This went well as a dip for the fries that we ordered as well. There should be 4 not 3 sticks of this dish is for sharing. Smoke salmon flatbread: 4.5 stars Very crunchy with a nice lemon drizzle on top of a sprinkle of arugula & smoke salmon . A bit on the burnt side but loved the crunch that this dish had instead of the usual soft bread that flatbread has, which gave it a nice texture. Seasonal sorbet: peach 4 stars Very creamy, I thought would be less creamy since sorbets aren't usually creamy Overall great taste but small serving. Service: 4 stars Good but can be a bit slow. Parking can be a pain here since it's so limited & the surrounding neighborhood doesn't have many parking spots & requires permits to park there. -.5 stars RSVPs are not required but definitely recommended here as it can get crowded. Prices are on the higher side & menu is very limited not much seafood options for brunch & lunch is only served during Friday's. It would be great if there was more vegetarian options as well. -1 star Overall: 3.5 stars If only yelp can have 1/2 stars read more

Is the main menu available during brunch hours?
No you can only order from the brunch menu
Do the do bottomless mimosas?
We are currently not offering bottomless mimosas, but we do sell champagne by the bottle.
Does this place have mocktails and are HH hours still 4-6 on Fridays? Thanks!
HI Nikole, we can always make you a mocktail version of our regular drinks. And yes, we are still serving happy hour every Wed-Fri from 4-6pm! We hope to see you soon!
How is parking?
Plenty of parking in a lot about a block away. The restaurant validates. Take a photo of your license plate, then give to wait staff.
Are you dog-friendly?
Benchmark has a corner area, that's pretty casual high top seating, if you decide to bring your pet. But it not a table. More like a bar top.
Do they have a baby changing table in the men's restroom so I can bring my toddler?
No baby changing tables
Do they have heaters on the patio?
Yes. There are multiple heaters throughout the two patios.
Do they have round tables that can seat party of 10?
I have never seen any round tables at Benchmark. Call them... they have a separate small building where they do private events. Maybe they can setup something for you in this additional space.
Are kids allowed? Do you have to pay extra for a private table for 12?
If it's in a separate room I think you do!
Outside desserts are allow? (Birthday cake)
Yes they are, but there is a $2 fee per person
Are staff wearing masks?
I believe so Bench is just down the street...so I'll double up after dog walk
I know with Covid some things have changed... Do they still offer bottomless mimosos on Saturdays and Sundays?
It's 4 glasses not bottomless and I believe it lasts until 3. But the glasses are large!!
Do they have bottomless mimosas on Sunday?
They did when I was there a few months ago.
Can I reserve the inside for a private baptism 20 guests on 5/16?
They do have a covered area separate from main area, when I was there, a party was going on. Benchmark is an outdoor restaurant, not much, if any, indoor seating (not due to Covid)
