We used The Benjamin for our rehearsal dinner and welcome cocktails and could not have been happier. Before the event, Hannah was extremely helpful showing us around the venue, and very responsive helping us with the floor plan, seating arrangements, and personalized menu in the weeks leading up to the event. The rehearsal dinner was excellent. The food was great, the drinks were great, and the service was great. Everything went according to plan and was on time, especially important given the welcome cocktails immediately followed the rehearsal dinner. The welcome cocktails were great as well and the venue was more than able to accommodate the 100 guests we had in attendance. There was never a long line of guests waiting for a drink at the bar. The venue also has a beautiful garden area for welcome cocktails, that we unfortunately were unable to use because of inclement weather. I would highly recommend taking a look at The Benjamin if you are planning a rehearsal dinner and/or welcome cocktails event. It was apparent to us that they are experienced and have done both events many times given their level of service.

We were planning a baby shower for our daughter-in-law who lives in Brooklyn. We live in Naples Fl. But our other son and daughter in law live in Redding Ct. Since we would be staying in Redding during our visit and had heard good things about The Benjamin we decided to give it a chance. Wow, we were blown away. Hannah was so lovely. We planned the whole thing together via gmail. Communications were great. Hannah was easy to contact, easy to communicate with, very responsive and very flexible and helpful with the planning. We showed up unexpectedly Saturday evening, the day before our event, and Miles was very kind and helpful. He was not annoyed that we had not scheduled an appointment to meet and understood that we had just flown in from Florida and were eager to see the restaurant as we had only seen it in pictures. He showed us around, gave us table seating ideas and promised it would be great. And more than great it was!! Everything was set up beautifully, service was extraordinaire and Hannah was supper attentive to our needs (even though she was running three different parties at the same time). Last minute we realized we needed a special meal and they jumped on it. My guest did not feel uncomfortable about making the request nor was she made to feel like she had put any one out of their way by making the request. ( and I am sure it took extra time on their part to accommodate us) The food was plentiful and DELICIOUS!!! I could not find one adjustment to recommend. Can’t wait to return to Ct and go there for dinner. I would recommend The Benjamin without any hesitation. You will not be disappointed

I held my baby shower at The Benjamin (the stunning upstairs event space - approx 35 people). The event coordinator, Hannah, was an absolute delight. The menu was designed to include everything in my vision with tremendous care and accommodation. She worked with us to fit every need within the budget we felt comfortable with. The planning process could not have been more seamless. The event day itself was also spectacular. The food was some of the best I have ever had. Every one of my guests left talking about how delicious, fresh, and perfectly prepared each dish was (and are still talking about it). The wait staff was courteous and attentive to every detail - glasses that needed refilling, plates that needed clearing, and were even kind enough to clean up the area as I was opening gifts. We could not be happier with the level of service, professionalism, aesthetic, and cuisine.

The Benjamin was a wonderful place to host our bridal shower. The space was spacious, attractive and cozy. The food was delicious and the service was pleasant and professional. Our coordinator was on top of everything and adjusted to our needs at the last minute. We couldn't have asked for a better experience.
