    Anniversary rose!
    Lisa F.

    We've been looking forward to trying this restaurant for a long time and no better occasion than our anniversary! The restaurant marked the occasion by giving us a rose in a bud vase to take home! The menu is a prefix 3 course. We had the beet salad and the spinach salad to start-- nice portion, fun elements added to the beets like dried figs and whipped goat cheese! For entrees we had the sautéed shrimp and the braised short ribs-- hubs thought the polenta had too much parmesan but I love it! The shrimp was over black rice and bok choy-- wish the chili oil gave a bit more heat but was very tasty. For desserts, we had the vahlrona chocolate mousse and the apple tart-- the mousse is super rich! Also, as an anniversary surprise, the kitchen brought over a pistachio panna cotta-- this was absolutely stunning and should be on the regular menu! [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was quiet for a Tuesday night, but perfect for a special occasion![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Would definitely return.

    Recently went to Metro bis for the fixed menu dinner. No complaints there, [[HIGHLIGHT]]it is a beautiful place, with good service and an adult vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Food was great as usual. The beef soup was outstanding and my wife and I had 2 different main dishes, the person risotto and the beef tenderloin. Both were excellent, although I wish my risotto was hotter, it was just warm. For dessert we had the brookie, which you can't go wrong. Each meal is about $60 and includes 3 courses. It could get expensive with drinks and appetizers but is worth it if you want to have a nice dinner.

    The food was phenomenal. The braised short ribs and the chicken and vegetable soup were the highlights. All the servers were attentive and friendly. Three atmosphere was warm and inviting. They took your coats for you in the beginning.

    Came here for a celebration dinner with a large group and we had a great time. We sat on their lovely patio. Our service was a good speed and professional. The wine list was a great selection and we got a delicious frogs leap bottle. The apps were fresh. We got salads and spring rolls. The portion of the salad was very small but it wasn't a main course. The entrees were fantastic! Super flavorful and fresh. The salmon and steak were cooked perfectly to our preferences. No one had a bad meal. The desserts were delicious- the pistachio puff was by far the best. The gelato and coconut chia were refreshing on a warm summer night Love this spot and will continue to return

    My dinner here, with a number of good friends, was an enjoyable experience. The atmosphere is "upscale homey," perhaps similar to dining at the home of a wealthy friend. The food is well prepared, and the service is impeccable. The prix fixe dinner for $60 includes 3 courses. Drinks (cocktails are also interesting and well prepared) and appetizers are separately priced. I believe there are 5 options per course. All the items for each course will all come out at the same time (of course). You are not rushed when dining here. I do feel that for the amount of food you receive, the price you pay is slightly above average, however when you take everything else into consideration, it is worth it. This is not a place I would necessarily dine regularly, but it is indeed a restaurant I would visit occasionally or definitely for a special occasion.

    Went on Friday night. Set three course meal with lots of great options -$60/pp. I had the Braised Short Rib with Polenta, mixed green salad with feta & walnuts and a chocolate mousse for dessert. Had a Basil Fizz for a drink (yummy). Ambience is beautiful-very well decorated. Staff was nice enough and food was amazing! Upper scale dining experience.

    We were here to celebrate our anniversary. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Chose to sit outside which was very nice.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great ambiance, cuisine and service in a beautiful setting.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    What a fabulous find!! We always go to the same place when we're in this area but tried something new and we're blown away! Now, they don't have a normal menu, only a pre fixe 3 course for $60, so know that ahead of time. If the chicken pate is a choice, GET IT!! Amazing. We had the pork loin and hanger steak, both delish. Dessert was average but the pate made up for it!!

    Delicious farm-to-table restaurant inside of a renovated house. Have both tasting and a-la-carts menus. I got the tasting menu and it had delicious food. Additionally, everyone at the table got a very small complimentary appetizer because I got the tasting menu as well My first critique is that it honestly did not look like the ingredients were high quality which made the dishes look less appetizing. I think this might have to do with the "farm to table" aspect however. Additionally, my second critique is that the price of the dishes are higher than you might expect Creative and delicious drinks as well 8/10

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

    We dined here yesterday evening to celebrate my husband's birthday. We had never been and made…read morereservations to sit on the bridge. Pretty area but I was honestly thinking it was going to be more quaint and romantic. It was not. The area is somewhat narrow which makes tables spaced close together and it's really not that private. But the space is nicely decorated and if you sit on the right side (which we did), you're right in front of the waterfall. I would try the dining room next time just to compare. Our server Anthony was professional, kind of and accommodating. We started with cocktails - I had a creative gin drink called Dot Dot Dot. My husband loved his Old Fashioned - he meant to ask what type of bourbon they used because he thought it was very good. With the tasting menu - many of the options apparently change regularly though based off other reviews it appears there may be similar options from time to time. We started with their Johnny Cakes which the waiter said the restaurant is known for. Another reviewer ranked them a 7.5/10 and I couldn't disagree more. They were one of the tastiest bites I've eaten in a while. Crispy, buttery and divine. I thought they were to die for. Served with creamy honey sesame butter which was also delicious. My husband doesn't eat fish so for his amuse bouche he had a little puff served with cheese, that was amazing. For his first course - he had the Ricotta Raviolis. They were as beautiful as they were delicious. My amuse bouche was a tuna tartare that was a perfectly balanced bite. I had the Tapioca custard as my first course. The bacon was a bit too smokey for my taste and overpowered the dish in my opinion. It could have used a bit more liquid but it was a unique few bites. For our mains, my husband's porcini risotto was rich, creamy, and full of earthy flavor. I had the bass with cauliflowerini, golden raisin-caper gremolata, Marcona almonds, and a cauliflower purée--thoughtfully composed and very flavorful. The final savory course was a crispy duck breast with port-poached pear, port reduction, and sweet potato purée, which was beautifully executed. Dessert was a pomegranate pavlova--crisp on the outside with that perfect soft, marshmallowy center. A delightful finish to the meal. Overall, the dishes were not only delicious but also thoughtfully composed and visually striking. It made for a memorable experience, and we're already looking forward to coming back--maybe in a different season to see how the menu evolves.

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.

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.
