Our waiter, Ethan was great. Very friendly and attentive. This was our second return and the first waiter was not so great with a bit of attitude. Thoroughly enjoyed Ethan as our waiter.

I wish their entrees were fantastic. I love the place. Nice setting. Nice location. Nice staff. I had the short rib dish and it was not very tender and not especially flavorful. So many restaurants do an amazing job with this dish. Same experience last time with Osso Buco. I told the server this time that last time the Osso Buco seemed less than tender, and he admitted it can be “hit or miss.” This seems so fixable.
Bennett's American CookingResponded 5 days ago
Barry, Thank you for your feedback and for your continued support. We're sorry to hear that the short rib and Osso Buco didn’t meet your expectations. We truly appreciate your honesty and will work on improving these dishes. We’re glad you enjoy the setting and staff, and we hope to provide a better experience next time!
