Easy to get to from office, bonus. Food was fantastic, bonus. Server was fantastic, big bonus. And while convo centered on work crap and industry stuff and what not, it was fine too. A succes all around!
I had a grilled salmon salad with crispy chickpeas and some nondescript dressing. The chickpeas were a nice addition. Salmon was cooked great with nice flavor. Dressing was the real downfall. not much taste at all and more or less just made the salad oily. I forgot to get it on the side. My lunchmate had a ground lamb burger. He took the top bun off and ate it with a knife and fork. It came with roasted hatch chilis, but I don't think he ate them. He had a big mound of green stuff to the side of his plate that I assume was the chilis. Kind of thought it was odd he didnt just get it without the chilis. But, whatever. I take pictures of my food so there you go.
Nice atmosphere but once it got full of diners it was really loud. Restaurants that have that big open thing going on I like the vibe of until people come in and then you can't hear shit. I spent half my lunch leaning into the table and asking, what? It's annoyinig if it's not night time with friends or you're drunk.
I'll give Benjy's a 4 and recommended, noting that desserts are untested which will necessitate another trip. Who knows when that will be at the rate I go to lunch.
Side note- stumbled back in from vacation on Monday. Have a few posts to put up. Will try to get to it within the next few days.
Eat good this weekend!
