Additional Information
The people at Benji's are always great. Something has gone wrong with the food since I last visited years ago. Everything was... underseasoned. The beans, tomatoes, and fries were decent. The soup was standard and bland. The salsa was jarred. The gravy forthe lamb leg (which was not a leg, but slices of a leg maybe) was, at best, canned or condensed. The green beans were cannedwith an attempt at homemade tomato sauce on it. The cheesecake was grocery store frozen. The drinks are still stiff and thepeople are always great, but this is not the Benji's of old. Read more
My first Basque experience was a good one with plenty of great food to try. Will go back.
Friendly and welcoming staff, authentic and delicious food, great family atmosphere. This was the first time we visited. It was... a very busy Wednesday evening, which, I was told, was typical -- a testament to the quality of this restaurant. Ample amounts offood, with soup, salad, beans, French fries and bread included with your choice of entrée. Fresh ingredients, well prepared.Highly recommended. Read more
Stopped for lunch on the way to Yosemite. Lunch menu is large and offers a lot of variety including lamb, seafood, beef tongue,... seafood, escargot, and sandwiches. Sauteed breaded Scallops in Tarragon sauce over rice was fresh, perfectly cooked and verytasty along with the included simple green salad with a nice homemade French vinaigrette, French fries (a little limp), Frenchbread ( a little stale) and very tasty hot spicy Spanish sauce included for $22. Good service in a dark, simple dining room.Basque sausage sandwich was spicy and good served with salad, French fries, French bread and Spanish sauce for $17. Good value.Easy parking in lot. Uncrowded at lunch on a Saturday. We would return next time we are in the area. Read more

Wow, what a disappointment this visit was, Ordered the Ribeye steak and a bottle of wine and the "Setup" just for me having... dinner alone and some time to myself. The waiter was good but the steak was so tough that I refused it. They offered to replaceor not charge for it so I said dont charge me for it. The "Setup" does not include Pickled Tongue like all the other Basqueeateries do. The wine was very good. I requested my dinner ticket and they charged me for the steak anyway. I said nothing andjust paid the bill and left never to return again. So long Benji's ... Read more
