    We had brunch at Benaiah’s Restaurant and it was excellent! The crab eggs Benedict and the traditional eggs Benedict were both amazing—perfectly prepared, beautifully presented, and generously portioned. The mimosas were delicious and paired perfectly with brunch. The Irish coffee was a little on the cooler side than expected, but it was still very flavorful and enjoyable. Overall, a wonderful experience with great food, presentation, and service. We’ll definitely be back!

    The food was great! Lots of options on the menu for all appetites with generous portion sizes. I had the penne pasta with sausage and marinara sauce. Portion size was enough to take some home. The service was excellent - we had a very attentive server who was willing to make suggestions from the menu when asked. I really appreciated the military discount and was surprised it was available when I asked. Great place with a wonderful dining experience!
