In Short – Fine dining by night and accessible deli by day, this downtown Mercer Island eatery provides meals comprised of organic ingredients from regional producers. The nighttime menu ranges from pan-seared local salmon to grilled steak accompanied by a large selection of Northwest wines. At lunch time, businessmen and locals stop by to grab entrees, like Beecher's acclaimed mac and cheese, along with sides and salads from the deli cold-case or browse the adjacent freezer section for take-out.

Organic food at reasonable prices
by eskercurve
I've eaten at Bennett's twice and both times I was stunned at the food served. First time I had the crab salad and it was a never ending awesome dish! The quantity was excellent too. The second time I went for lunch and had the eggs bennett, and that was excellent too! The atmosphere is casual which is nice, and the service is OK. Also, try the cola (they don't serve coke) ... it's how Coke probably was before they engineered it for profit.
- Pros: great food, ambiance
- Cons: service is a little slow

Great Food, Poor Service
by Mikefly562
Over food quality is excellent and fresh, but staff at Bennetts not very friendly. I ordered to go and after I paid, they never said thank you. They just gave me the receipt back and walked away. I had to say thank you, and they did not even acknowledge it. Great food, bad service.

Terrific all around!
by glennastone
I have been here twice... Loved the food and the service. Our server both times was very attentive and freindly, but did not rush us. Very knowledgeble about the menu and food, and passionate about her favorite dishes when we asked what they were.
Love the cheese selections, Heirloom Tomato Pasta Primavera special, Italian Cous Cous, Surf and Surf, gorgeous Beet Salad... The Burger and homemade ketchup were very good as well.
The wine by the glass may have seemed a little pricey, but they give you a 7oz pour!
Nice decor. The restaurant is not to big, not too small... Open wall on sunny days is great.
I will go back! Loved everything about it.
- Pros: Quality Food, Great Service, Free Parking, Beautiful place.
- Cons: Not closer to my house... (Bothell)
