Our group went to Beno's for lunch. The service and food were great. The alcohol prices were acceptable and I would recommend Beno's on these points, however, the soft drink prices were grossly over-inflated in our opinion. A snide way of separating cash from customer.
We could see no reason to justify a glass of 'coke' cordial costing $4.00, the glass held less than a can and was served from one of those pistol servers. The colour wasn't even right. $4.00 for a soft drink is a turn off for family groups and for those who are trying to be responsible drivers by partaking of the light drinks. One solution would be to sell soft drinks by the can for a 'fair' price and avoid losing the customers goodwill.
So go to Beno's, enjoy the food, ambience and alcohol, but avoid the soft drinks as the markup by Beno's is, in our opinion, inexcusable. I hope they adjust their prices soon. Thanks.
Visit here regularly and the food is always fantastic! Reasonably priced, great quality, and lots to select from. Meals always arrive quickly. Service quality varies, however is usually quite friendly.
We went as a group of 16 and the service were pleasant, prompt and the food was tasty. The many options on the menu was the biggest hurdle. I would recommend you try for yourself but we will all be going back. It was a great night.
The food was extremely mediocre, I had the Mediterranean pizza which was bland, with an excessive amount of olive oil. They did have at least 4-6 vegetarian items on the menu which was positive, but unfortunately I will not be back based on my first dining experience.
The waiting time was a little long (25 mins) considering there were only a dozen or so people for a Friday night. However, the staff were very friendly and efficient. If you want better food, greater variety and ambience go elsewhere.
Went once for lunch, the waitress acted as if serving us was a nuisance to her rather than her job (we were there on a quiet day and were treating her in a pleasant manner and not asking for anything out of the ordinary). We tried again another time for dinner, just ordered when another staff member arrived for their shift and switched the music over to techno - quite loud as well. I don't mind techno music at times but don't think it's quite right for dinner music more for a nightclub - it was obviously more for the benefit of the kitchen staff than the patrons. We'd been hoping to relax after a hectic day but no way with that music going.
