Reviews
The Atmosphere: The interior is stunning. The space is expansive with high ceilings, whimsical artwork, and distinct “posh” vibes thanks to the beautiful velvet seating and eclectic decor. It features a large full bar that acts as a centerpiece, and there is a lovely outdoor patio if you prefer fresh air. It feels upscale but very welcoming.
The Food: The quality here is undeniable. We ordered the Ribeye Chilaquiles (highly recommended), and it was spectacular—the steak was a generous, high-quality cut cooked perfectly, sitting atop flavorful chilaquiles and eggs. We also had the Eggs Benedict, which was plated beautifully with crispy country potatoes. Everything was delicious and fresh.
The Service: Top-notch. The staff was attentive, professional, and added to the overall first-class feel of the morning.
As a Local Guide who has seen many spots in OC, Benny and Mary’s stands out as a clear winner. We will definitely be back and look forward to dining here soon.
The food here was good, but nothing really wowed me. For appetizers we ordered the Grill Cheese Dumplings and Garlic Shrimp. The Grill Cheese Dumplings were a cool take on Grilled Cheese and Tomato Bisque. The soup was tasty. The Garlic Shrimp was okay. Not a lot of garlic flavor.
For my entree I ordered the Chicken Milanesa. The cutlet was lightly breaded and reminded me of a Chicken Katsu. The whipped feta was a nice touch and paired well with the chicken.
My friends ordered the Short Rib Stroganoff and the Black Sheep Smash Burger. The burger was good, but the patties weren’t really smashed down enough to get a nice crust. The stroganoff lacked the creaminess youd expect.
I might consider coming back, but definitely not in a rush to do so.
Great food. For starters, the drinks were great and unique.
All food was very flavorful. The fish main dish was made perfectly.
Service was fine. Some of our order was showing up out of order or delayed. One of the desserts didn’t show up till after we paid for the bill :-/
The Delahunt Overcast IPA poured a cloudy bronze with a lemony, lightly hopped kick. The Karl Strauss Tower X was my favorite. Golden, smooth, not too carbonated, with a crisp bitter finish that sparked something young and sharp.
The crispy pork belly came in huge perfect chunks. Crackling outside, tender inside. Paired with broccolini, a poached egg, and my first take on polenta, every bite was sweet, savory, spicy. An adventure in flavors and textures.
The space is beautiful and stylish. Lamps and lighting add their own charm. The hockey game is on, and if you know where to look, there’s a private event room that just might transform into a speakeasy.
Plenty of parking right out front free with validation, being your ticket.
The food was excellent. The oysters were decent but not recommended. They have better options. Same with the burger, they have better options unless you have to have a burger. But all other dishes were well prepared, relatively create and very good. If you have a date you want to impress, I would take her here.
The cocktails are creative and smooth with a hint of spiciness.
Unfortunately, our waitress was not attentive. On two separate occasions, she took our drink orders and each time brought back one, then followed 20 or so minutes later with the wrong drink. Bizarrely, she did it again on the third round. She disappeared frequently and we were left waiting for long periods of time. For a $350 tab for two people, Id expect better service.
I’ll give it another try because the food and drinks are fantastic!
