I really wanted this to be a five star review but unfortunately it's not. Food vs price is poor - the portion sizes for the price is not good Front desk staff were conversing with every other word being FU** Ambiance could've been different if we sat in a different spot- it was way too loud. I'm so bummed by this because I'd been wanting to try this place for a while. read more

First time customer of this establishment. A disappointment. I ordered only 2 things: The Spicy Crispy Chicken Banh Mi and a Classic Cosmopolitan Cocktail. The waiter made what I thought was an innocuous comment, but it later had me wondering. He said "Oh, just eating light tonight?" Um, it's a full hot sandwich and a cocktail -- is that considered "eating light?" when you're solo, not sharing plates? He may have known it was ala carte, but as a first time visitor, I didn't. As the next 30 minutes would reveal, the service was really lackluster. 1 out of 5 stars, and that's being kind. The Quest for Service and Liquids, Part 1 I was seated (dining alone), and was not offered or brought any water. I ordered my sandwich and cocktail from Waiter (Staff Person #1), and I thought he'd return with a glass cold water, as I watched all other tables around me receive. No water was forthcoming. I was really thirsty and eager for a glass of water, especially because the sandwich was described as "spicy" (fortunately, it wasn't). I tried to remind him each time he passed, but no eye contact was available and his hands were full, so I didn't nab him. Part 2 A few minutes after ordering (pretty darn quick), Runner (Staff Person #2) placed my sandwich on the table, and immediately kept up her drop and move momentum, leaving without pausing long for me to say a word. I wanted to share 1) that I had a cocktail coming (typically first) and 2) really would appreciate a glass of water. She was gone. I had a sandwich now, no water, and no cocktail. I kept it uneaten in front of me for just a moment or two, looking right and left for anyone I could catch an eye with, to order water -- and ask for the cocktail. It just wasn't going to happen. Part 3 The waiter was walking by to another table and looked down and said "Oh, your cocktail! I'll check." He returned a minute later with it and sat it down. Off he went, not long enough for me to say "And that water please!" It was that fast. The cocktail did not appear freshly shaken and wasn't the typical ice cold, so it may have been on the bar waiting to be picked up because he forgot about it. There was not a speck of cold condensation on the glass. Just a glass of pinkish punch. That cocktail was terrible. Full stop. Tasted like a pre-made cocktail-in-a-can. Too vibrant of a pink looked and tasted more like a mixer than actual cranberry and lime. 1 out of 5 stars. Part 4 The next time he walked by I said "May I please have a glass of water?" Sure! He never returned with that water. Part 5 I'm now sipping on the terrible cocktail as the only liquid, and eating the sandwich, looking to make contact with anyone at all. Finally I saw a Waitress (Staff #3) linger a bit near the bar, so I gestured her over and said "I'd really love a glass of water!" with a smile. Not her fault I didn't have one, so no reason to be less than friendly or demanding. She brought it immediately, at long last. This entire time, I'm watching every party seated, being given fresh water! So odd. Part 6 My waiter returned and asked if I was "still good" -- but I'd hadn't been asked if I was good after either item had been served in the first place. I just nodded because I was swallowing and knew this wasn't going to go well tonight. If I hadn't been swallowing I had wanted to ask if anything was served with this sandwich -- because every burger and sandwich on the menu was shown as including fries --- but not this one? It was priced roughly the same, so not sure why this particular sandwich was alacarte, whereas others included a side. Maybe that's what he meant by "eating light" but, he hadn't said it was ala carte, nor asked me if I wanted to add anything to the the order, so I was a bit confused. Part 7 I finished only half of the sandwich and he brought me a box, and the check, at the same time, with the message "No hurry, take your time." I was not asked if I wanted dessert, an after dinner cocktail, coffee, anything else. Nada. I basically felt ignored as a solo diner, which does happens from time to time. I tend to tip 25% if I'm alone and get good service because I'm compensating for taking up a table as only a solo diner, but in this case -- the $34.32 tab had a gratuity tier and 18% was $6.18 -- I rounded it down to $6.00 because I was really disappointed in the experience. I don't want to judge this restaurant by ONE experience, so I'll return another time and see if it improves at a different time slot than this one (7 pm on a Sunday evening). read more

Overall happy hour is great. Only complaint is the happy hour baked Brie. It is a huge wedge of cheese (too much for two people to eat), but it only comes with 4 pieces of crostini. When you order more crostini they charge you $3 for four more slices. We ate the crostini and the $3 extra crostini and still didn't finish the cheese. Either make the cheese smaller or provide more crostini from the beginning. What a BS way to pad the bill! Could have been 5 stars, but no. read more

Bennett's was excellent! Visiting from the Bay Area, we thought we'd yelp some places and review them after. Bennett's menu is fun and well crafted. The ambience is a more upscale the I anticipated, but I loved it! I'd be interested to learn more about what deals they have throughout the week and in different seasons. Courses were all delicious, and the wine options paired well. I'd recommend for special occasions for sure! read more

Walked in to Bennett's for the first time looking to just grab a burger for lunch. We were greeted by welcoming staff and were seated in a comfy booth right away. Our server took our drink order and we ordered a salad to start. There was no pressure to order our mains as she gave us plenty of time to enjoy our starter salad. My husband had the burger- I got blinded by the delicious Steak & Frittes and we shared the Bacon Mac &Cheese. Everything was off the hook delicious! Highly recommend stopping by Bennett's Westside when you're looking for a warm friendly respite from the road. read more

Second time here in 6 months, so basing this review on both experiences. First off, the food was great both times, so if that's all that matters in your dining expectations, this might be a solid option. However... I had reservations for 2 on a Friday night and chose "standard" seating in the reservation. We were seated at a high top in the bar instead, very close to another (very loud) couple. After a series of unfortunate and uncomfortable events (after of which I'm still kicking myself for not just leaving), we finally were able to peruse the menu and order dinner and drinks- which came out quickly and met all expectations. The "series of unfortunate events" was known to staff (due to the scene created by table beside us) and at no time did management come by to check out what happened, acknowledge, or offer an apology. The first time here months ago was not completely unlike this one, only no reservations and seated at the bar by choice. Terrible service, obnoxious, inconsiderate crowd, but still great food and good wine selection. The Roseville Bennett's has been great the few times we've been there and I'll continue to support that location. This one is off the rotation. read more

The three stars are for the food, which technically would rate higher but my friend and I did not have the full Bennett's experience. I normally visit the location in Sacramento on Fair Oaks and my experiences have been vastly different . From my experience, I thought this location perhaps opened a few weeks ago but my girlfriend tells me that this location has been opened for several months, perhaps before Christmas. We arrived before noon and we were told the wait would be 15-20 minutes which was fine. About 10, minutes in someone came up and asked if we had a reservation, we told him that we put our name on the list, but no problem. About 5 minutes later were offered two seats at the bar...hmmm no and that point I was regretting my decision to consider this location. We started to leave and the manager asked us to wait just a moment and he found a table/booth for us. We sat down and there were two setups for us. Someone brought us water and then we ordered. My girlfriend wanted to do the 2/$44 brunch and bubbly, while I wanted a wedge salad. She was going to take the other entree to-go. Tiffany, The server, asked what kind of juice my girlfriend wanted and she told her orange. We were good until the server brought a 3/4 glass of orange juice to the table and a bucket of champagne. I was wondering why it was in a glass and not in a small juice carafe. I was wondering why our server did not ask if we wanted an additional flavor of juice, as this has always been our experience at the other location. She literally opened the bottle of champagne and went to walk away! There were no glasses on the table and I suspect she meant for my friend to pour her own champagne in the juice glass! My friend asked her for a champagne glass and she replied, oh yes, they're normally already on the table...further evidence that she was never intending on the glasses because after she opened the champagne she told her to be careful when pouring the champagne into the juice because it would overflow...she should have poured the first glass for us in any event . We watched her pour champagne at the booth behind us, we watched as she checked and inquired with everyone else. Someone else delivered our food, we had to flag our server down for salt, pepper, and Tabasco, after that we didn't see her until our food was done. Again, no check-up to see if the food was fine but attentive at other tables. We noticed that she wasn't great at listening. She would walk off while we were still talking because when we asked for the Tabasco, salt, and pepper, we also asked for ketchup. When we were giving the champagne order, my friend told her only one glass but she brought two. Part of the issue is she would be off before we finished sentences and we were left talking to her back. I am a Bennett's fan and I participated with them during the early days of the pandemic when they were preparing to-go meals for families and really appreciated them and the efforts they went through to adjust to a new normal. I celebrated Bennett's when we opened up and everyone began dining again and have been a fan since, but I didn't enjoy my experience here. When our check came she gave a quick spiel about letting her know about dessert, but didn't ask. How are you going to know if you are dropping off the check and walking away? How are you going to know if you don't ask? It's my birthday week and I might have wanted something extra. You can't sell it if you don't ask. The food can be excellent, but if service is under par, or the table( not just me) feels purposely looked over, disregarded, or ignored then it's not such a great experience and would give me pause to eat at this location again. The food was excellent! read more

We were looking for a restaurant we had not yet tried so picked Bennett's Westside on Yelp and boy what a great pick. We shared a salad and the shrimp, the wife had tacos and I had steak frites. Everything was excellent and the service was perfect. If you want a well crafted meal with great service give Bennett's Westside a try. read more

Food: Ahi tacos were so fresh! Full of greens and and a tasty chipotle sauce. I felt like I was eating a fresh salad with fruit sh in a tortilla. Yummy and healthy to my liking. Baca on Mac and cheese was creamy and a big bowl for a side order; enough to share with 2-3 people. Crab deviled eggs were decent.. nice lemon sauce and a good vinaigrette side salad that accompanied it. I will be back to try their specials that include to entrees and a bottle of wine! Seems way worth the deal. Service: Host was kind, Dakota, thank you. Our server, Carson, had so much patience and I still need to thank for that. I was being honestly quit indecisive and had to many questions between my narrowed down options and my wine choice. Sorry! But you were great helping. Ambience: Very modern and nice. Slight dark feel but a classy vibe. Great lunch date to night out for dinner and wine. Red leather booths and a wrap around bar. I'll definitely be back for more! read more

It's kind of interesting that this restaurant opened in the place of Chevy's and they have a very similar flautas dish with the same sauces and presentation. They were very close in taste to the Chevy's version that we enjoy. Unfortunately it was kind of downhill from there. The chicken enchiladas had a good flavor but we got a couple of unexpected bone fragments in the chicken. The garlic Parmesan fries were okay. Moving on to the worst part: the service. After being seated we waited over 20 minutes before asking a passing employee to please let our server know we were ready to order. Our server arrived and apologized for the wait and reassured us that everything would be good from then on. Our drinks took about 30 minutes to arrive. Our server would disappear for 20-30 minutes at a time. What started as a quick drinks and light meal turned into a 2.5 hour ordeal. At one point our server, probably noticing our annoyed looks, said "don't worry, we will take care of you". I thought that meant at least the drinks would be taken care of because they took so long to come out, but instead he said dessert would be on them. We asked for the butter cake to go since we had been there an obscene amount of time by then. It was by far the worst butter cake we had ever tasted. It was rock hard. After 2 bites it went into the garbage. We may be open to trying them again because the drinks and flautas were good and they are close to home, but we just can't spend a good chunk of our day there again. read more

Okay so here's my take on this new establishment. I parked and asked customers walking out if there was a cool seating area (it's 104 degrees) they said YES THE WHOLE PLACE IS FANTASTIC. So we walk in and it's nice and cold and most of all CLEAN. We got seated immediately on a Sunday at 2:30pm. The server was extremely attentive I could not finish my water it was constant table side service. Asked for the most recommended appetizer and it was the Jalapeño corn bread. It really leaves you speechless. I got the weekend "special" prime rib because I really wanted to judge the place on what they're trying to push out of the kitchen. Started with a Caesar salad and the croutons are made in house and they're so delicious I don't think I've ever complemented a crouton before. My husband ordered the Bennett Burger and added bacon. The entrees came and did not disappoint. The fries were amazing and it came with a dill ranch on the side. The prime rib crust was tasty and came with mashed potatoes and a side of horseradish. Everything was cooked perfectly and melts in your mouth. We'll be back for sure. A+++ read more

Food was surprisingly delicious. We started out with the smoked salmon and the corn bread for appetizer. The cornbread had actual corn in it. That is my favorite type. For my entree I had the steak Cobb salad. The steak was tender and cooked perfectly. The dressing was light. My brother ordered the prime rib. To my surprise It was a thick cut and a pretty good price. Our server was a pretty good guy. I really like seeing teamwork with servers. There were different people bringing our food and taking care of our needs. That was a plus. The ambiance was ok. It feels like there were missing dimensions. The furniture seemed flat. The vibe seemed that they wanted to be elegant, and contemporary at the same time. Overall: a good place to go to with delicious food and good service. It's definitely a stand out read more

This was the worst experience ever. Took well over an hour for our food. Jade was a terrible server. The manager did not keep the reserved table for our party which was our friends birthday. Then with only 5 people a 20% gratuity was added to our bill. We are regulars and will never return. Thanks for a terrible experience. read more

We were here for my workplace anniversary party on a Friday evening. We were seated by the patio and thought it would be chilly but they did have it covered. The area was fully equipped with heaters hence we were all comfortable. Service was great hence the 4 stars. The dinner includes non-alcoholic beverages along with beer, wine or cocktails at $15 or less. Kids 12 and below able to order from the full children's menu. Choices as follow: Starters : 1. Salt and pepper prawns - love this 2. Butcher's board with charcuterie, cheeses, nuts, marinated olives and focaccia bread - didn't try it but was popular with our entire party Second Course - choice of : 1. Green Salad with vinaigrette- son liked it, it tasted good since I tried a little bit 2. Cream of five mushroom soup - my choice, I did like it but it would have been better with lesser salt. We all agreed it was too salty Entrees - choice of: 1. Prime rib with buttered mash potatoes - very good 2. Roasted chicken with crispy bread salad, candied walnuts and gold raisins, winter greens - a little bit dry and needed seasoning 3. Grilled porkchops that is bone-in hoisin marinated with mashed potatoes - was not able to try it 4. Halibut with toasted garlic bread - MY CHOICE because as per server it was her favorite and it is juicy and buttery. I now regretted my choice as it really didn't deliver. It was rubbery and also it smelled fishy plus i didn't get the toasted garlic bread. Instead I had mushrooms and peas on my plate Dessert - choice of: 1. Chocolate layer cake with sweet cream and amarena cherries - it was ok and I had better ones but I did like the cherry 2. Key Lime pie - hubby's choice! I'm not a fan of key lime pie but this one was surprisingly good. It was a very busy night so most likely the kitchen was busy trying to deliver on time the food so maybe we can try it another night to check if it gets any better. All in all we had fun, we appreciate the servers so much since they went out of their way to assist a party of 33 guests. read more

My husband and I love Bennett's. We used to go there once a week but we've noticed the service has not been up to par lately. I went in there early afternoon and the person up front seemed very confused when I asked to purchase a $100 gift card. My husband and I came back later in the evening once we had taken some Christmas presents home to get a drink at the bar & to grab a charcuterie board. The bar did not have two seats together, so we asked if we could sit at another table around the bar that didn't have a reserved spot on it, she quickly said no. She didn't bother to find us another area to sit. She acted bothered & walked away, so we left. Not sure we will return. read more

Food not that great. Service slow, waited an hour for our food. Had to flag down waitress many items. Never going back.

My family went to the Bennett's Westside Grill last night. I have always had a great experience here with great food and great drinks. Last night was not the standard that we received in the past. We ordered the crab deviled eggs, which were nothing more than a hard boiled egg cut in half with some crap thrown on top of it. Quite disappointing. My son ordered the mac & cheese with bacon. The mac & cheese was dry and hard. It looked and tasted like it had been sitting under a heating lamp for quite some time. The chicken enchiladas were lacking. To end our evening we ordered a butter cake, which was still frozen when it was delivered to our table. Not sure what's going on with this restaurant, but we were quite disappointed and not sure we will return. read more

Finally getting a chance to check out this establishment. It was moderately crowded for a Friday night. Customer service was smooth and fast. I had the steak and bacon tacos that were delicious. The chipotle aioli was very good next time I will ask for a little extra. My daughter ordered the Ribs and chicken, the ribs were overcooked and tough as leather. My child had the kids mac and cheese he enjoyed it but it tasted absolutely flavorless to me. Lastly had the butter cake for dessert it was the highlight of the evening. Overall it's a decent a restaurant. read more

Extremely good recommend it though stake was cooked a kinda raw ask for one more high than u want your stake to be.

Bennetts was good overall... I'd give it a 3.5 if I could based on this visit. The server was very slow and didn't have much personality. We were right under a very cold vent, even the 20-something-year-old men in our group were cold. We asked about possibly turning it down a bit and she said there wasn't much she could do. We began to order off the small menu we were handed for appetizers, but she looked at her watch and said it was after six, sorry. We could order but it would all cost more. We were seated slightly before 6 and given the menus, but didn't say anything and decided against ordering appetizers until we looked at the main menu more. The food was good! In our party we had bugers, fish, a chopped salad, french dip, and ribs + friend chicken. They were all very good, fresh, and the fries were amazing! We waited a long time for the server to return when we finished our meal and asked for the dessert menu. She took so long to come back, and we were cold, so we decided to pass, even though it was my birthday. Someone also placed a tray with dirty dishes and cups right near my head on the ledge of the booth. Literally, I was inches from it - that was a little gross. Overall, we would come back (especially before 6!) and hope for a better server and table. Since times are hard and all the teens and young adults with us were sympathetic because people are crazy now to them in their jobs, we let everything go that wasn't right. read more

We tried the new Bennett's Westside Grill (in Rocklin) last weekend. Another couple joined us, and overall, we all had a positive experience. While the service was a little spotty (most likely due to challenges related to started up business & new staff), the food was marvelous ... with one very minor exception. Both the drink and food menus were extensive with a variety of tempting choices. I started with a Whistle Pig Bourbon - neat. Others had martinis and wine. Our order included: * Heirloom Tomato & Burrata Salad * Maui Beet Salad * Dungeness Deviled Eggs * Grilled Salmon * Prawn Linguine * Short Rib with Mashed Potatoes * Idaho Trout Our orders had generous portions and the food was well plated. My Short Ribs came with a delicious horseradish cream. The only issue we had with the food was my partner's Prawn Linguine. Some of the linguine was stuck together based on mis cooking. The manager apologized, indicating they had received other complaints and were addressing the problem. He offered us a free meal to go. Prices were competitive and I will return. read more

Wow. This place is busy. Came here on a Monday night and it was packed. Nicely remodeled. Slightly upscale. Spacious. Service was great considering how busy it was. They paced the meal nicely. Food menu had a good selection and food was served hot and fresh. This is a nice addition to the Bennett's group of restaurants. I had the Filet of course, and it was great. This is a good place for those West Roseville, Rocklin, Blue Oaks and Lincoln people. read more

We had an incredible meal at their other location so we absolutely had to try this new location. We were not disappointed! The inside felt more formal than the other location. The color scheme is on the darker side, but the light shade to the seating brightened things up. The restaurant is large with a nice bar and seating for all sized groups. The service was good. She was knowledgeable and funny. I prefer that the server ask if I'd like a refill of my drink instead of me having to ask the server, but that sounds snobbish so forget I said that. I highly recommend the jalapeño cornbread. It is beyond delicious. It is sweet, savory, spicy, and has great texture. Don't cut it into slices trying to be cute, just grab a fork and start digging in. I was in the mood for fries and not much else so I got what some call a "hot girl dinner." I ordered the pound of fries and green salad. The fries were disappointingly lukewarm, but still good. The sauces were by far the best part. One was like the sauce from that misanthropic chicken place and the other smoky. The salad was weakly dressed. You must try the jalapeño cornbread. Ain't nothing wrong with that! read more
