Benchmark

Colt Kehlenbeck

Good food is hard to find. Benchmark doesn't sell good food. Benchmark sells an unforgettable experience. The atmosphere creates both a tranquil and grounding effect. The drinks are beyond amazing and main course makes you wonder if you have room for dessert. Highly recommend. Do yourself a favor and try this place. You'll be glad you did.

Benchmark located in the heart of Santa Ana, is one of the best places to eat Al fresco. Perfect for a date night or brunch date. Benchmark serves new American food that is refreshing and inviting. Word of advice: plan your visit around the weather. I’d recommend any temp between 72-78F for that perfect SoCal weather to pair with such a beautiful out door space.

Came here for brunch. The food was good and very reasonably priced. Make reservations or you might not get a table.

Was walking around in the area and came here on a whim. The restaurant itself is in the middle of lots of homes and apartments, a little away from the 4th street noise which was nice. It’s outside and under beautiful trees and lights. The atmosphere alone is enough to want to come, but the food is right up there as well. The risotto was delicious!!! The tomatoes were perfectly cooked and brought such a good brightness to the dish. The steak is totally worth ordering and it came with the most delicious potatoes and tomatoes. I felt like the food dishes look small, but they are hearty and fill you up. The cocktails were very different, but that’s what made them fun! Also, the mango sorbet was the perfect way to finish off such a beautiful meal. I felt like this location and meal really encompasses summer in California. Compliments to the staff and chef!
