The grounds, the old millwork setting, ambience and views just feel comfortable while still upscale. I prefer the main dining area to the tavern or covered walkway because you get a glimpse of the kitchen that consistently generates fabulous food with seasonal ingredients and re-imagined classics. Tyler Anderson is back in charge these days and his food is just really good Trusting in him we did the five course menu tour: local oysters with mignonette; cornbread with sesame butter; then one of those classics that has been played with a bit: tapioca pearls prepared to channel clam chowder with bits of bacon and herb! The next jawdropper was frozen shaved foie gras over a strawberry cream compote with pumpkin seed granola. The entrees (you get both) were monkfish schnitzel with a pickle and potato salad and seared strip with potato galette and cioppolina onion. Dessert was a panna cotta with strawberry and angel food crumble All of these were delicious and unique in there on way. Our table relished and discussed every course in an a way that was fun and social. The food made sing and think! The only knock was this: the menu had some redundancies with strawberries and soft textures: the tapioca, foie gras dish, and panna cotta were delish, we could have done without three dishes for people who can't still chew! Service was very pleasant but painfully soft spoken and could benefit from some more fine dining polish. These are minor quibbles. Two weeks later and we are still telling everyone we know what a terrific meal we had... This is a must go restaurant

I'm always up to try new cafes , but to drive 40 min for a cafe when we have so many around us I was a little hesitant. But once we got there the restaurant was very nice , modern style with little greenery and bright / white anterior design . The staff was lovely they greeted us and sat us immediately. The menu had lots of options and something for everyone . I ordered the iced tiramisu latte and the ricotta hotcakes with Nutella and bananas . Which was amazing , very light and delicious ( I normally don't eat all my food because of large portions .. but I was given 3 ricotta hotcakes and I ate everything!! It was sooo good , very light and filling , highly recommend ! My sister ordered the VEGAN kimichi bowl which was really good as well . My mom ordered the mango soufflé pancakes which i tried and def worth the drive to try . Very light and fluffy cooked perfectly and tasted amazing. !! And presentation was beautiful My husband ordered the Korean fried chicken and waffles ! The waffles came in rose shape which was beautiful 10/10 for the presentation and taste . Again the fired chicken was still light ( and not to heavy ) Overall 10/10 great staff , great atmosphere and even better the food was delicious ( with lots of options and variety for everyone). Definitely worth the 40 min drive and I will definitely be back again !!!

Their summer menu feels so creative and unique. It made me want to return regularly to check out what else they have come up with. I ordered the rose latte and the scallion pancake breakfast sandwich. I have never had anything like it before! Whoever thought of it is brilliant. It's a scallion pancake and it is stuffed with sausage and eggs. It is so delicious and satisfying. It comes with a side of sweet potato fries, and of course my daughter loved that. Also I wanted to shout out the waiters, who are really nice and attentive! The only reason I'm not giving five stars is that they don't have pastries! I wonder why. It would really hit the spot in a cafe like this, especially with their coffee.

I have food allergies, and the chef goes above and beyond to make me food that is both safe and absolutely delicious. I've been so impressed with the servers as well.

I am so grateful to have this gem in town.

Our usual gang of 5 stopped here for our monthly breakfast after attending a morning Carholic Mass…read more We alternate among 20 or so towns in northern CT, western MA. Benny's came highly recommended and lived up to its plaudits. My four friends all had the hungry man special....two eggs, a choice of meat, and either two pancakes, two French toast, or a waffle. I don't follow the crowd, and opted for a CYO (create your own) 3 egg omelet (with a choice of 3 fillings...I chose sausage, spinach, and feta). My omelet also came w toast (rye for me) and either home fries or shredded potatoes. Our server, Victoria, was great. Attentive, capable, affable. She kept us caffeinated and seemed to have roller skates on and octopus arms (that's a good thing). Everyone's food looked great, but I really need to describe mine. The omelet was light and fluffy, and soooo delicious. The right amount of ingredients. The potatoes were actually like a potato pancake - crunchy on the outside, light inside. It rivaled those made in a place like Rein's in Vernon. Even the rye toast was perfect. A substantial crust and that subtle caraway taste. You know when you have a bunch of really good food on your plate and you can't decide what to end on. That's how it was for me.. tough choice between the omelet and potato pancake. One quibble - coffee a bit pricey at $3.35 a cup. But unlimited refills. I polled the other 4. Three said 5 stars (even Demanding Dan). Regardless of what they say, for me it was 5 stars!

It was cooked to a perfect medium and the beef patty was tasty and substantial ( larger than I like ) . The blue cheese although an adequate amount it didn't have much punch . The on line menu says frizzled Onions . The in store menu says onion. Rings and that is what you get , two fried onion rings. They were ok but frizzled onions would be better. The fries were great and I appreciate what some would call a skimpy severing. I don't need a mountain of fries and these were just the right amount and they crisp and hot. Just about perfect The problem with Benny's is the kitchen can be dreadfully slow . If are in a hurry stick with a simple egg, meat and toast breakfast . If not patience is a virtue and you will be rewarded with some pretty tasty food. Coffee is decent as well. Not good coffee shop quality but light years ahead of your basic diner coffee. The restaurant is clean an inviting. Tables near the entry door can be a little chilly in the winter.

Tonight we had a pretty good spread across the menu and liked everything. Cocktails could be a little better, dessert was amazing (the rhubarb bar). The pace of food is a touch on the slow side but I think thats something the US should adapt more to - you want to go out to dinner and have a nice long enjoyable meal and not be rushed through it. Overall 5 starts - highly recommend!!!

The concept is fun and different, but unfortunately, I felt it was far too expensive for what you actually receive. With prices starting at $89 per person, I expected much more generous portions. The portions were extremely small compared to the price, and it was hard to feel like the experience justified the cost. Overall, I'm glad we tried it because it was something different, but for the price, I don't think we would return. ask for the "chicken leg" for a secret menu

The cheeseburger was cooked medium per request. The fries are great. It has a very light coating to give it some crunch. Boneless buffalo wings were mediocre.

It had shaved ribeye, house made cheez whiz, sautéed onions and mushrooms on a grinder roll. Flavor was sooooooo good! Service was good. Can't wait to go back and try more food.

It features several dining rooms including private smaller party rooms (8 to 12 diners) and large event sized rooms. We stopped here for lunch and were quite happy that we did. They have a great tap list, and a decent tavern food menu. Our experience began with complimentary warm mixed, spiced, nuts and mixed olives both were fantastic. I'll come back just for these. I had the New England Clam Chowder as an app and it was excellent. I had their Turkey Club sandwich for my meal, that also included a small house salad. The sandwich was served on freshly baked sour dough bread, and was very good also. The wife had the French Onion Soup, and we both liked it very much, although we both thought it was a little too sweet. I also had a couple draught beers, one of them had an ABV of 18% and was a very heavy stout served only in 5 oz glasses, which was enough. Our server at the bar, Vera, was attentive, pleasant, and friendly. We took a self-guided tour of the facility, and were impressed with the size and scope of the operation. The smaller, intimate dining rooms included a very cool horse stable themed room that I'd love to experience - definitely try to do so if you can!

I had the artisan sourdough breakfast sandwich which was absolutely massive, hubs had a delicious brunch burger and Dad had the "Eggs in Purgatory" (similar to a shakshuka).
