CORPORATE EVENT TESTIMONIAL

Offsite Event

"Benson’s Restaurant Group did a phenomenal job with our Holiday party. From first contact, I was constantly blown away by the work they put into our event. Every question we had was answered and any changes we requested were handled. Our event went more smoothly than I could have ever imagined. The food was AMAZING and we had so many compliments from employees that it was not only delicious, but new and exciting. One comment received several times was that their staff really cared. They weren’t just there to serve food. They wanted our event to be a success as much as we did. Our kitchen staff commented that the chef team treated our kitchen like it was their own. I wouldn’t hesitate at all to have them cater another one of our events!"
