Pros: Staff is always friendly, the place is clean and inviting. Many sit down options including outdoors on a nice day. Usually plenty of parking unless they are really busy. You might wait for a few minutes for a spot. They do serve really good bread with dipping oil to start. They ask if you want it before they serve it. Cons: Benis recently changed their menu which is good. Nice to change things up. However, you get less food and costs more money. For most entrees there is a 2 to 3 dollar charge on soup or salad if you want that before your meal. It used to be included. I also noticed that entrees now come with only one side instead of two. The side salad I got with my meal was a lot smaller than they normally give. Their lasagna posted on the specials menu came with nothing and it was small. Only three layers on the lasagna and not much to it. That tiny piece was $23. I am sure my husband was not satisfied with that little amount. He said it was ok in terms of taste. I felt bad as I was the one to suggest eating at Benis. The eggplant parm came with a small side salad and pasta. There were three choices for that. That dinner was ok. We eat here often and I agree with other reviews that their chicken is always dry and overcooked. Service was a bit slow. The hostess or person that seats people had this awful strong musky perfume that lingered and made me nauseous. Unfortunately, we won't be dining at Benis as often as we are not happy with the changes. I'm sure others won't mind them.

Always an outstanding experience!
The staff at Beni’s consistently provide excellent service, and the food is absolutely delicious. It’s hard to imagine anyone having a negative word to say about this place. The menu is reasonably priced, and the seasonal drink selections are always a great touch. Highly recommend!
