Went to this place for the first time and I couldn't be more pleased with the experience. Not only is the restaurant aesthetically appealing but the food is soooo good. The servers are honestly amazing as well. Tiffany and the other gentleman we
Dear Tiffany, you are amazing.

Our server took his time to answer all of our questions and make sure we had everything we needed. They don't have any special coffee like lattes which seems weird for a spot that's so popular for brunch. There's a coffee shop across t
First and last time I come here.
I got invited to a meeting ,I parked across the street and walked it from Santa Ana boulevard . I Said hello to a male waiter and sat down to Wait for my group. Then got told by a female waitress that I have to check in first and what my reservation
Food a 5, Service a 2.
Didn't get drinks for 20 minutes while only half the restaurant was full. The food was really good, calamari, burger and salmon. Ordered a second beer which took over 10 minutes and was delivered after I was nearly finished with my entree. Th
This place is always rock solid.
The food is incredible (I had the risotto). The service was perfect. And they had great music that made the time fly. We showed up at 7 and left after 9 talking, drinking, and enjoying the ambiance. I can't wait to come back!
Amazing food service and ambience! One of my favorite

Heard a disappointing story from a friend who was asked to leave there table while they were eating dessert, they said take your food to the bar to finish your meal. Weird
Shockingly rude staff.
We had only been at our table for about an hour, enjoying time with friends, when a staffer barged over and told us to "wrap it up" so they could give our table to someone else. The nerve. On top of that, the food was bland and forgettable.
It wasn't explained about family style service.
My wife received her meal first the very slowly the rest of the entree's followed. Appetizers were not served first. Kinda weird couldn't understand it. I worked in the industry for over forty years and never ever seen anything like it. Nee
This is the second time it happens where we arrive before
This is the second time it happens where we arrive before 9pm and they refuse to give us a table. Thats extremely unprofessional. Extremely disappointing. We come from very far away and we always get stuck in so much traffic. We've had their foo
Nice friendly quick customer service.
Delicious yummy sandwiches that you can take on the go when you're in a hurry.
Delicious food, beautiful atmosphere, and nice service.
I went to Sunday brunch here with a friend and would love to try their other dishes.
Screw this place.
They have no issues throwing people out. Reservation or not, give the guest a heads up if they have a timeframe to eat. Crappy service
Recently had dinner at Benchmark for a friend's birthday.
Our server Tiffany, who also is one of the bartenders, was amazing and such a hoot! The food and drinks are always divine. They do change out some items depending on the season but you really can't go wrong with what you ordered. This time arou
I think we'll come back.
Saturday afternoon stop for lunch and drinks after our daughter's marriage at the Old Santa Ana Courthouse. No reservation but we were seated after short wait on the patio by the street. Would have preferred the enclosed patio at the back but i
Great food, not so great service
This was our first visit to Benchmark (on 5/18/24). I'd seen it driving by and wanted to check it out. We sat on the patio, which provided a great view of the dining area and the street. The food was excellent, and we will return because of that
Yummy
We really enjoyed this spot! We were given a corner table tucked under a beautiful old tree with lights strung beautifully and a nice view of the patio. Very cozy and inviting!! We loved the artichoke fondue appetizer! My husband’s salmon sandwich
Connect with users posting reservations for Benchmark Santa Ana
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Benchmark Santa Ana. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Benchmark Santa Ana at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Benchmark Santa Ana page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* PerceptiveWash44, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* PerceptiveWash44 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to PerceptiveWash44 for any questions Peter may have as PerceptiveWash44 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* PerceptiveWash44 now uses their connections at Benchmark Santa Ana to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If PerceptiveWash44 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, PerceptiveWash44 receives the $200 reward which is credited to PerceptiveWash44's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Benchmark Santa Ana!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
