    Ben’s has the best staff, they are always good energy and helpful. They are also very fun and love to celebrate with their guest. I recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants some good seafood, good music and good cocktails.

    Made a reservation for 4 people on open table but when we got to the restaurant they said they don’t accept reservations for a party less than 6 people... would’ve been nice to know this before I was able to make the reservation on the open table app... nevertheless we were seated right away and the food and service were superb!

    We get there and they said they dont have my reservations that was made weeks ago. We get the food and the seafood didnt seem fresh. The shrimp seemed like it was frozen for too long. When we peeled shrimp out of shell it was mooshy. The clams had a lot of empty shells without any clam meat. Calamari and other fried appetizers were too bready. Service was good, But hostesses were not very friendly. I would not go back
