Benchmark Eatery was great! I loved the ambiance - decor, music and staff. They have a walk up counter to order your food then they will bring it to your table. We ate outside in the covered patio with heaters. Very warm and toasty. The food was very good except my salmon was overcooked and on the dry side. The place is mid-upscale and a little over priced for a counter order restaurant. (Im guessing it would not be so much if it weren't for complications of the pandemic.) Im glad we were able to come here. Its definitely a good choice.

We stopped by for dinner eats after the museum. It’s right across the street. I enjoyed the Benchmark chopped salad and a tasty Sangria. My wife enjoyed pozole soup and salad. I took some menu pictures since I didn’t find any recent ones in the App. Enjoy 😋👍🏼

We stopped here for a late lunch on a Monday. It was not crowded and they have a fully covered outdoor patio with heaters that is dog friendly. You order your food at a counter and they give you a number for your table. My husband had the grilled salmon sandwich and really enjoyed it. The brussel sprouts were really good - crispy with bacon and honey. The sweet potato fries were good and came with a Sriracha ketchup. I would get both items again. The churros were OK. They were fresh but I have had better fresh churros. You get a lot of pieces with one order and it comes with two dipping sauces. The staff was very friendly and the service was quick. They even brought out a water bowl for our dog. Overall, we were very happy with the food and service.

🤷🏽♂️ It was okay. Definitely like their Fish n Chips. Can't really give a solid rating until I try a few other stuff on the menu.

The food was so good, fancy and super friendly staff. We got two salads - the cobb one and the kae one. They came in looking so nice and tasting even better. My girlfriend got sparkling water which came in a fancy New Zealand bottle. The staff were super friendly and talkative and we had a great experience overall, for a reasonable price. Well done!

The fried calamari was really crispy and comes with both a chunky tartar sauce and cocktail sauce. The double cheeseburger had 2 good sized patties with all the fixings, including lots of red onion which I like but might not be for everyone. My mom had the fish and chips. She loved the fish but thought the cold slaw was too sour.

Great location. Food was average for the price. Staff did a good job with walkup counter service and keeping dining area clean.
