Service was friendly and attentive. Food was delicious - home made hash browns and generous servings. Vegetarian and healthy options. Toilets clean and fresh. I would definitely recommend this to others.

The service was professional, friendly and prompt. For the Seafood Linguine, the pasta was cooked just as it should be, the prawns were firm and tasty, the fish delicate and flavoursome, the mussels were a little overdone as were some of the scallops. Overall a good dish. The Beef Cheek Ragu Gnocchi was melt in your mouth beef with a lovely sauce and soft pillow of gnocchi. This was a great dish. We will return.

An enjoyable lunch with a very generous sized fillet of barramundi with nicely cooked vegetables. It was a bit disappointing that there was no herb bread or plain bread with olive oil available with the meal, but otherwise everything was good.

Lunch at Benson's was a pleasurable experience with an excellent menu, and good service. The owners were on hand to engage with the patrons, and assist with the service. It is a noisy place.

Good Food - Service only OK - Timing poor We were greeted well, and shown our table. Then left for some time, we had BYO wine and the glasses were on the table, but my teenage kids wanted a soft drink / Mocktail. After I finally gained the attention of the waitress this was arranged. The food was all good, but one meal came much later than all the others. That was even after our meals sat for some time on the servery under hot lamps, hence were overly hot on top and a bit cool underneath. Again, the actually food was good. Summary, service needs a bit of improvement, but food if worth trying. We will still go back.

Great food and service. Good value for money. Staff were very pleasant. Only suggestion would be for some sun blinds on the windows as the setting sun was quite annoying

A lovely meal and a nice quiet restaurant where the tables are not positioned right on top of each other. Service was a tad slow and not all of our party of ten got our meals at roughly the same time! But staff were friendly and helpful. i would definitely come again.

Food wasn't good. Not good flavours and far too many cheap items like kale or salad filled the plate. Eggs had no flavour, neither did the calamari and they mixed too many flavours trying to get dishes to look good on the plate, rather than taste delicious. 2 stars as the coffee was good. 0 stars for the food. We won't be going back.

The restaurant is comfortable with a friendly atmosphere. The menu was simple with, for us, adequate choice. Prices were reasonable. Staff were friendly and the service was excellent. There were two seafood dishes as 'special'. I had one my partner the other. Both were excellent. We both enjoyed or experience.

The staff were polite & made every effort to make sure our meal was enjoyable. The Mediterranean Lamb Salad & The Barramundi were delicious. The Passionfruit Brûlée was amazing the only improvement could have been the Sticky Date which was quite dense & doughy in texture. Enjoyable dinner overall.

A little neighbourhood gem. Friendly service and the menu is varied and food good. The coffee is also good. Kitchen is only small, so you would need a bit of patience and understanding if you were attending with a large group.

I went with a group of five. We all enjoyed our meals. There was a mistake with one main course order. To compensate that person was given a complimentary glass of wine as her meal then arrived ten minutes later than the rest of the group.

Staff very professional, my meal was not as good as last time, it was a Risotto, the chicken was dry, and it was quite salty in taste, Coffee was good, my friends meal of smashed Avocado, was up to the usual good standard. I will return, but not choose the Risotto that I have had at a previous visit, because it was ok only.

A wonderful Suburban restaurant in Mt Waverley. Fantastic flavors and atmosphere, at prices you'd expect from a lessor restaurant. I've tried evening and breakfast meals, and both are wonderful. Well done Benson's...keep it up, as I will be back.

For my very 1st visit to Benson's Mt Waverley I found the food to be delicious and the staff to be friendly and accommodating. The atmosphere of the restaurant clean and welcoming and tables are well placed, not to close to others. Would be keen to visit again soon.

Restaurant was very busy so I would suggest to make a booking, Very cold day so it was lovely to walk into a warm environment. Friendly welcome and excellent service. We all enjoyed our meals, Barramundi Special which was Gluten Free, chicken toastie, pork belly and lamb salad and a glass of wine made our lunch an excellent experience. Would recommend and we will go back.

The food was good. Nice selection to choose from. Staff were friendly and left us to eat in peace. They didn't however, come up to us after we had eaten to see if we wanted anything else (not that we did), but usually you get wait staff who follow-up just in case.
