"it had to hear a lot about this place, try and I have to tell you it was good. we will definitely come back! I had ripped the amazing! we also had the stuffed mushrooms that was different from that I had somewhere else, but still good. my wife had the garnels I couldn't tell you enough was from this world! They were huge and delicious. the cheesecake was amazing! I have to tell you everything was done perfectly. space was clean the bathrooms were clean and the service was super great. the trip there along the mississippi was a great landscape there. and the view of the restaurant of mississippi were also beautiful. I really can't say enough about this place that they have to experience it for themselves. this is a must on their Bucket list for some great restaurants and great view. all-package here! many thanks benson for the great eating experience, and the great hospitality. they welcomed us."

A local gem! Great views of the Mississippi, delicious food served hot by a friendly, attentive and knowledgeable service staff. The pride of the owners to provide a clean, welcoming restaurant is very apparent! Great seafood offerings and hand crafted, in-house BBQ. Real mashed potatoes, tasty cooked brown fries and incredible deserts, especially, the bread pudding with bourbon sauce, reminiscent of the bread pudding at The Bon Ton in New Orleans. The bar is well appointed and welcoming. I shall return Wwll done owners staff at Benson's', KUDOS!!!

"We had requested the rounded corner booth in the main dining room and arrived 20 minutes early, planning to enjoy a cocktail at the bar. But instead, we were seated at a booth right next to our preferred one. A couple finished their meal shortly after we sat down, well before our 6:30 reservation. We ordered a Beefeater gin and tonic and a very dry Beefeater martini. Both drinks had an unusual, perfume-like scent that was quite off-putting. My wife sent her drink back, and I decided to switch to a Bombay martini, but the same strange floral fragrance persisted. I regularly enjoy Beefeater and Bombay dry martinis and have never experienced this odd aftertaste before. For my main course, the Duck and Porcini confit ragu had hardly any duck in it. There were only a few shreds of duck meat hidden in the tagliatelle, but no substantial pieces. My wife’s Pesto and Shrimp dish arrived swimming in a broth. While this might be a traditional way to serve it, there was no mention of broth on the menu. She had expected the pesto to be coated on the pasta and oily, rather than soupy. As much as we have loved Capriccio over the past three decades, this experience was disappointing. We didn't even stay for dessert. We'll certainly return, but I hope to avoid writing another negative review. I usually don’t share my thoughts unless absolutely necessary, but I felt compelled to do so this time."
