Best Dining Bars in Lake Carmel

Excellent service great food amazing steakhouse Always have a delicious meal at Benjamins

My 2nd time and was amazing! Caesar salad is super recommended. Crab cake croquette was so fresh and delicious. Had the pasta cooked in the big cheese wheel, so tasty! My husband had the bisteca which was perfectly cooked. We close with the most crunchy and fresh millefoglie dessert.

Great dinner out with friends! Food was great and we had a blast!

When I first booked this reservation , I was not aware that it was inside a hotel. We took a chance and followed through. Because of the very high ceilings in the hotel, it was surprisingly quiet for a lobby and open concept. The server, Johnson, was simply delightful. He was attentive without being overbearing. We made the decision to order only appetizers and order a couple at a time with drinks. Although I'm usually a one and done drinker, my negroni was made to perfection, so it warranted another. Overall, the food was delicious. Although I would have preferred that the calamari be crispy. While it had a good flavor, it lacked crunch. The outstanding dish of the evening were the Corn Fritters that had just enough heat to balance out the sweetness of the corn. This is a hidden gem tucked inside a hotel. Do expect to pay a bit more than your average restaurant. Because it is inside a hotel.
