Benedict’s Cafe & Bar

An excellent place for breakfast on a quiet weekday morning. I suspect this place is nuts on the weekend, but on a Thursday it was quite peaceful. Coffee was OK, service was friendly. We had the Bronx Benedict (on corned beef hash) and the sweet potato scramble. The benedict eggs were poached nicely and the hollandaise was good. I was surprised that the sweet potato scramble was light on sweet potatoes AND came with a side of country potatoes, but it was tasty and hey, potatoes are good!

This was a great restaurant and I didn't know what to expect as I had never eaten here before. The meal I had was the chunky monkey pancakes and it was absolutely outstanding!! I also got a hot chocolate that was great and the ambiance was excellent. Our server was very kind and friendly. We also spoke with Rey and he told us that the name of the restaurant will be changing and that they will be staying open later in the next few weeks. Rey was a super nice guy and put about 10 minutes aside to chat with me and my family! It's rare that this ever happens when you go to a restaurant. Great customer service and communication! They also serve burgers, pasta and a host of other items that I can't wait to try!! I was impressed with my first visit to Benedict’s and I will introducing some of my family members to this restaurant shortly. I also forgot to mention that Benedict’s also has a bar that I will need to check out the next time I go. If you haven't been here yet, I would highly recommend you check it out!

I ordered the Bronx Benedict and a Bellini cocktail. This is the first time for me that when I asked for extra crispy hash browns, it was executed correctly. The hash browns was crispy on both sides and a thin layer of the soft potatoes. Genuine pleasure to eat. My only nitpick was the potato chunks in the corned beef hash was a little big and a bit much, considering you're already offering a side of potatoes. I went early to avoid the rush and wanted peace and quiet. Staff was attentive and the restaurant was clean. Definitely will be in my rotation of restaurants going forward.

Good food, friendly staff, and great service. We got on letters, pancakes, waffles, French toast, and it was all delicious. The Chunky Monkey Pancakes are easily enough for 2. I had the Meat Market Omelette and biscuits and gravy and it was pretty good. The biscuits were a little heavier than I’m used to but I live in a different part of the country where biscuits and gravy are a staple in breakfast; it was still good.
