on Judys Book Feb 10, 2010We happen to like the menu selections, including the pork hamburger, and it is nice to have a restaurant that isn't "crawling" with kids. (more)

on Citysearch Apr 16, 2009I've eaten at Bennett's twice and both times I was stunned at the food served. First time I had the crab salad and it was a never ending awesome dish! The quantity was excellent too. The second time I went for lunch and had... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 16, 2008Over food quality is excellent and fresh, but staff at Bennetts not very friendly. I ordered to go and after I paid, they never said thank you. They just gave me the receipt back and walked away. I had to say thank you, and... (more)

on Citysearch Jun 08, 2007Eastside dinning is not the same, thanks to Bennett's pure food bistro! I have two kids, 8 and 12 years old. It's been difficult to find a causal fine dinning that fits the whole family. We tried a couple supposedly the... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 26, 2007I used to be a fast food junkie but recently I?ve taken up the whole foods banner. In doing so, I admit I?ve become just a little cynical about terms like ?all natural? and ?organic? because too often the label doesn?t... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 22, 2007An earlier reviewer suggests that the bad reviews for Bennett's are a result of the fact that the reviewers don't appreciate European cuisine. My family has lived in Euope, I have eaten at more than 1000 restaurants... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 04, 2007Mercer Island dining has never been much to rave about, but Bennett's is a welcome surprise, even for those of us from Downtown. Owned by the same group as Beecher's and Pasta & Co., there's obviously an emphasis on... (more)

on Citysearch Feb 19, 2007As a business traveler from San Francisco to Seattle, on my most recent trip, I wanted to have a least one dining experience in an eatery featuring new American/Northwest regional cuisine. Bennett's Pure Food... (more)

on Citysearch Feb 10, 2007It is high time MI had a wonderful neighborhood bistro and Bennett's fits the bill to a "T". Bennett's strikes a great balance--the food is consistently very good to excellent, they have a nice wine list, and the... (more)

on Citysearch Feb 09, 2007We've visited Bennett's 3 times since it has opened. We're huge fans of Beecher's cheese and Pasta & Co products, so couldn't wait to visit a restaurant owned by the same guy. They are way too hot on the 'all natural'... (more)

on Citysearch Feb 08, 2007I am completely addicted to Bennett's!!! I cannot get enough of the freshly made tomato basil soup with the flagship cheese. We eat out a lot and have eaten at many Seattle and Eastside restaurants, this is in my top 10... (more)

on Judys Book Jan 21, 2007It's great to have another alternative on the Island. Bennett's offers three high quality meals a day and has a deli counter. The food is good and includes specialties from sister companies Pasta & Co. and Beecher's... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 18, 2007Like other Islanders, we were very eager to try this new spot, but we were all very disappointed. One problem is that they have nothing for kids. Although they brag their mac 'n cheese is world famous, it is an adult mac... (more)

on Judys Book Dec 13, 2006This place is kind of tricky. Lunch is bistro/deli style from Pasta & Co. But they do have some of Beecher's (the owner of the cheese co. and this restaurant) cheeses and of course their Mac/cheese. But, dinner is... (more)
