"The veal, scallops and steak main courses were very good. One of my prior favorite appetizers (watermelon and Dungeness crab) was disappointing - zero leg meat, and minuscule amount of body meat. Nice touch to give free desert to my wife for her birthday."

"Bentley's is my go-to place for a great meal or special occasion. The food is consistently high quality and the menu provides great choices. The dessert offerings are some of the best I've ever had--anywhere.
Prices are comparable to other fine dining restaurants in the area but unlike a lot of the others, you do get what you pay for."

"Dinner was excellent. As was the service. The only negative were the following and they were minor:
1. We sat at a table immediately inside the door to the restaurant. So, it was noisy and had lots of traffic. Would have much preferred sitting away from the entrance.
2. Their beer menu was rather limited to ales and wheat beers. A nice Corona would have been cool!"

"Excellent preparation and attractive presentation of fresh seafood, lamb and vegetables. Though not large, the wine list contained many quite good selections. Everything tasted scrumptious, and it was a memorable birthday celebration for my wife. The wait staff were very attentive and our waitress knew the menu well enough to guide us through all of our courses."

My husband loved it when I brought him here the first time and ever since then he would lean towards picking this restaurant whenever we dine out. Prices are very reasonable as well."

"We were looking for a great restaurant and John Bentley’s did not disappointed.
The wait-staff was prompt and attentive and the ambiance was the kind of quiet elegance I associate with fine dining.
I started with the pressed duck with mango salsa. It was incredible! My lady friend chose white prawns over baby arugula. She was likewise pleased by her selection.
For entrees, my companion had the broiled Shetland Island salmon. She especially liked the unusual toppings. I went for the double-cut pork chop. It was huge, lightly breaded and cooked to perfection. It was served with an awesome apricot-cherry chutney.
We both topped off our meal with the sticky toffee pudding cake and a very good cup of coffee. Altogether a great meal!"

"Great service...food was beyond my expectations; I just expected a good meal...I got a very good meal.
Cream of asparagus soup...butter, but not too much cream. Very good, from first taste to the end.
Grilled watermelon, dungeness crab, avocado, and jicama: a nice blend.
The special, lamb chops served with roasted garlic mash, and haricot verts. Superb lamb, very tender, outstanding taste.
Grilled and marinated rib eye steak, roasted garlic mash, broccolini, Gorgonzola Cabernet demi glace. Superb sauce, tender tasty steak that pretty much melted in our mouths. On both dishes, the garlic mash was a very nice accompaniment.
And, the best for last, sticky toffee pudding cake, caramel gelato, chocolate sauce. Every bite was a d"

"It was our first time visiting as we are fairly new to the area. I read the review on-line and hoped it would be as good as it sounded. I have been disappointed before. Well, we were not disappointed! In fact, we are now raving fans! The food was fantastic and the service was great. One of the best meals we had had in a long time...and we eat out a lot! We really enjoyed ourselves and I am certain we will be going back again...and telling our friends about it."

"very good, not artsy food -- which i believe is a level that gets increasingly lost, between michelin star food [bentley is not this!] and lackluster food at high prices. john bentley is FIRST RATE food without artsy ambition which, sometimes, is what is required [for business dinners, celebrations, a chatty evening].
the service was correct and competent -- just nothing special. i would say more or less the same for the ambiance.
and what can anybody do if the people at the next table SHOUT every word?"
the service was correct and competent -- just nothing special. i would say more or less the same for the ambiance.

"I've been to John Bentley's twice - first on a Friday with business colleagues. JB's possesses a relaxed, up-market ambiance that is well-suited to both business and casual dining. The menu is short, though dishes are thoughtfully chosen and well-presented, especially the appetizers - try the grilled watermelon and crab, or the mozzarella and bay shrimp. Service was excellent. I was so impressed I took my family the following Monday. Unfortunately, the service was not as crisp. While the scallops and sweetbreads were quite good, the Hanger steak was tough and and NY steak so-so. JB's scored well with two diners, but not all four."

"Had pressed duck appetizer. Found it too salty and spicy. Would have been nice to note high level of spiciness on menu description.
Quail appetizer was wonderful and all other items we had were very good."

"Wonderful restaurant that has a very private feel to it the moment you drive into the parking lot. Great food that is not obscenely over-priced for the style and quality of food. Came here for my 3 year anniversary and would come back for dinner again, regardless of it being a special occasion. Highly recommended."

"Once again my wife and I had a most enjoyable lunch at John Bentley's. Their soup of the day and Chinese Chicken salad entree are always outstanding as is the service. This is a great choice for dining to impress a special someone or have a business lunch."
