Great service. Great spot. Outside seating and loved the atmosphere. Parking can be tricky. Current favorite spot for some mimosas. The bottle for $25 and it comes with a flight of juice. I was there on a Saturday so they had the brunch menu available. The food was really good. Will definitely be coming back.

I am all about the atmosphere to get me in the door. But when the food and service matches a cool vibe, I am sold. This was the case at Benchmark, situated in the historic section on Santa Ana, blocks away from the central judicial courts of Orange County. It had been years since I had been in the area and my friend randomly chose Benchmark to meet for lunch, since it was not far from the courthouse where we were. She picked the perfect spot.

Food is good, the tacos were a let down. They should have used a real corn tortilla or flour. A soggy wrap that had no flavor was disappointing. Colorful yes, but served no purpose. The burger was very good and cheesy. Spirit infused saké cocktails, no thank you, ordered wine instead. The brown butter cake was delicious. The pot de crème had these hard to bite into coco nibs. Along with a really big spoon that doesn’t fit into the pot.

Such a cute brunch spot! They have a wonderful patio that is nice and shaded. I got the mimosa flight (x4 mimosas per person) with a good juice mix. The food came out fast and our server was so friendly! Will be back again.

Popped in for Sunday brunch. Hidden gem in Santa Ana. Great outdoor ambience. Food was excellent. Spanish omelette was unique and tasty, eggs light and fluffy and the accompanying Salmon and salad were great. One of our guests had the pastrami hash which we’d superb. Great knowledgeable service

First time here and I thought it was great! The crispy chicken sandwich was a hit for both my friend and me. Our server Mitchell was great and attentive and if I happen to come to the area again, I would go back. Also, the waffle left me wanting more!

We had a lovely dinner at this place. It has 2 nicely decorated outdoor sections. The weather couldn’t be better for outside sitting. We wanted to try different menus, so we ordered 3 appitizers, which were plenty food for both of us. We enjoyed every dish and my favorite was the lemon oilve oil cake! It was just right amount of sweetness with refreshing citrus flavor. If you are more of a sweet tooth, their brown butter cake was also fantastic. We will definitely go back to try more dishes! Oh, and they also have their own parking area!

We had the most wonderful time celebrating my wife’s birthday at Benchmark. We rented the private dining room which is absolutely amazing. It was so spacious and well decorated. It allowed my wife to bring a balloon arch and have a space for photos to be taken as well as plenty of room for the gifts to be displayed. We felt like we had the whole restaurant to ourselves because it’s so private. The food was absolutely amazing and everyone loved all the options we provided. We ordered the food family style so that everyone had the chance to taste all the different menu items because we knew how good they were. Some of the items we got were the benchmark burgers, the Asian chicken, the pasta dish, artichoke fondue, crispy pork belly, flat iron steak, and even more I can’t remember. Having such a variety of different styles of dishes made the event so much fun because we tasted so many different beautiful flavors. The chef here is a genius and the service was exceptional. They were nice enough to allow us to bring in our own dessert and they served it on plates for us. They allowed us to come early enough to setup and didn’t rush us out when it was time to leave. The owner Duane even stopped by to make sure everything was going perfectly. What a nice guy! Wonderful restaurant, wonderful food, wonderful people!

Food was great order Spanish omelette- taste quite good. Omelette has good stuffing and cavier. Also other dishes like spicy Chicken sandwich and waffles were good as well. Portion size is decent. Time I visited they served only brunch. Would like to visit again to try other items on their menu. Basically they serve black coffee. And restaurant is pretty unique this is outdoor restaurant. Service is good.
