Ben & Florentine draws mixed feedback from diners, with praise for the warm ambiance and generally friendly service, occasional standout staff who introduce themselves and provide quick, attentive brunch service, and comments that the restaurant is modern and offers good food; on the other hand, several visits were marred by slow or missing service, dirty glassware and utensils with lipstick or coffee stains, and long waits to be greeted or to receive dishes.
