    Dinner was amazing! We had ate there in 2023 we loved it , we decided to go back because the experience was so special however the menu prices have significantly increased. I feel paying 75 for a steak is definitely over priced! They have a great happy hour with half off menu small plates that we might try next time.

    What a delicious dinner, everyone had something different and each dish was prepared perfectly, from the steaks to the seafood, the halibut was amazing. Our server Kim was fantastic also, thank you for a lovely evening.

    I LOVE dining at Bennethum’s! We went there Saturday night. Two of us in the group ordered the filet. It was cooked perfectly but the presentation was lacking. We were disappointed that we couldn’t get a baked potato with our steak. Otherwise, everything else was on point!

    This was the best Moscow mule my girlfriend had ever had. It was a lovely atmosphere and the food was delicious. It's on the price of your side but worth it.

    This is a small town favorite for its consistency and quality! One of a kind place and just visit when in northern MI. We're lucky enough to live close, we enjoy the food and staff equally on a regular basis.

    This is probably the fourth time we’ve been to this restaurant and unfortunately it was not good. I ordered the Valentine special. The lobster tail was way overcooked, the shrimp was not very flavorful and the steak was like a hockey puck. Very poor. My husband got the tomahawk pork chop, which was very good so I guess you need to stick to the regular menu. Unfortunately, our server was quite short tempered and cranky as well. I don’t think we’ll be going back for quite a while. The atmosphere on the bar side was very nice.

    Lobster, shrimp and filet was excellent. Likely black next week. Service was the best ever.
