    Great food, extremely loud if you are trying to have a conversation - tables are on top of each other.

    We really enjoyed our meal at Bender's. Koti was our server and she did a wonderful job. She was knowledgeable about the menu and gave good suggestions. Two of us had halibut which was delicious. One of us had lobster carbonara which had huge chunks of tasty lobster. The meals were perfect!

    The food is excellent. We especially love the choices of seafood. Our server Jennifer was excellent. We had a nice table, but unfortunately were surrounded by very loud people. The 4 top had a lot to drink and was extremely loud, causing everyone else to have to talk loud. I just wish there was a way to seat the "bar crowd" in a different location. We will definitely return and will asked to be moved if it happens again.
