At Benchmark, community is just as important as food. Their upscale-casual, New American menu is paired with regional wines and local craft beers. The communal dining sensibility fits perfectly with both the classy indoor vibe, and their outdoor atrium setting. Come with a crowd and order dishes for the whole table, like their braised pork al pastor with cotija and salsa verde, or the artichoke fondue served with Bavarian pretzel. If you want a plate for yourself, try one of their carefully-crafted classics, such as the Benchmark Burger, topped with cheddar cheese, garlic aioli, arugula, marinated tomato, and bacon jam served on a brioche bun and served with their incredibly-seasoned parmesan herb fries. Other popular picks include the crispy skin salmon made with summer succotash, peach gastrique, and fennel slaw. There's also a slew of salads, a dedicated kids menu, and desserts like decadent butterscotch pot de creme. Since they are a community-driven restaurant, they welcome large-group parties and often host special events at the restaurant like a one-on-one experience with the chef. Come to Benchmark for the food, but stay for the community that you'll find.
