Bennu - Utica

Admittedly, my expectations were low for a small restaurant in an old strip mall. What a surprise! This place is my go to when I'm in town now. There are not many truly healthy choices nearby- where a vegetarian, someone with celiac, and a lactose free person can all have a great meal. Why I like it: It's fresh and lots of veggies can be had. (If your thing is pulled pork, they have that too. Service has always been excellent. No complaints.

Overpriced for what you get. $15 for 90%bread. Prices increase and sizes decrease. Only reason it got 2 stars is because it tastes good. Sad that the sizes are half what they used to be.

Stopped for lunch, the menu looked great and I settled on The Omaha (roast beef, horseradish mayo, provolone, red onion, served as a panini). I upgraded for the fresh cut fries a huge plus! Price was reasonable, fries were incredible. The sandwich was a bit overpowered by the horseradish. I think roast beef needs to be salt and peppered to shine on a sandwich and it would've helped a lot here. Pickled red onion would've improved the sandwich, also. I think it was pretty good but with so many other options on the menu, I would not order that sandwich again. Hope I'm in the area again soon to try another sandwich.

Very cute setting. Small and clean. The food is a bit pricey but it's good quality. There's a really nice selection of salad, soups, sandwiches, and desserts. It usually takes a little time to get my food but it's worth the wait. I like the ahi tuna salad. Staff is friendly

The food was good and the service was too. My only gripe is that I called in advance for reservations (we had a party of 10) and whoever took my reservation had no idea what to do and didn't set aside a table or even let anyone know we were coming. it all worked ouy
