Went on a Tuesday night with a business colleague. I've eaten here about 5 times in the last 15 years but this review is based on my most recent experience. The atmosphere is pretty hip. The menu options were good. Lots of continental types of cuisine with strong Asian influences (e.g., pork dumplings, Udon noodles). The wine selections went beyond California Chardonnay and Napa Valley Cabernet. We enjoyed a reasonably priced Mer Soleil Chardonnay (unoaked, Central Coast) that complemented our food nicely. My appetizer was a modern take on Fried Green Tomatoes and my dining companion had some Asian pork dumplings. Both were pretty tasty...but not "perfect." The entrees were a Daily Special pork chop (Berkshire Farms?) and scallops. Both were very good...but not quite excellent. The server was an automaton...his advice was "I recommend the more expensive item." Avoid him. He was a tall guy with short hair and some sort of facial hair. Should probably work at Joe's Crab Shack or at a car dealership. Despite him the dinner was pretty good..but I suspect there is better value in this town.

AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great atmosphere, Owner is on hand and there to offer great service, Mike the waiter at Washington location is FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Highly recommend sitting in his section, drinks were great and strong:), food exceptional- I will continue to go back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good food! The upstairs bar is a lot of fun and classy and chill. Good bar food

What motivated me to go to the trouble of creating a profile to write a review was our outstanding service at the Benjy's on Washington last night (thank you Michael A.). It seems that lately many places are suffering in the area of service, so this experience really stood out. Our server was gracious, knowledgable and had a sense of humor without being annoying - what a breath of fresh air! The food was as usual both interesting, beautifully presented and most importantly tasty, but i'll keep going back if we continue to get this level of service.

The perfect place to start or end an evening in Rice Village. All the food is good but my personal favorite is the White Pizza. Good food, good ambiance.
