We are not new to this restaurant as we are locals, And know great service is consistent at benders. This evening we were out for a birthday dinner and Koti H, our server, was phenomenal. She was knowledgeable about the menu, and she had a fun and friendly personality. Great hire bender’s!

Fully vegan
Editor synopsis · 0 reviews
Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

As someone from out of town, I could appreciate the historic establishment However I couldn't enjoy the food It was nice and unique to try turtle soup , tasted a bit like gator but the soup itself was so sweet on sherry The chicken also so sweet The bender fries were not fries and burnt. Imagine a smashed potato then fried It was too burnt for me too enjoy Steamed veggies tasted like they were microwaved from frozen The bread pudding was decent The smoked duck was really good with pesto and sundried tomato Reservations are limited on holidays so book early Some folks got the coated halibut, that was the only decent thing

Everything about this place is incredible and awesome! Great food, great service, great ambiance, and phenomenal history! 124 year old restaurant!! You must be doing everything at the top of your game to last this long. Make reservations or you won't get a table. Bar seating is 1st come 1st served and bar seating is limited. There's simply too many positive things to say about this place - check it out for yourself, you won't be disappointed!
