Review Summary

Ben & Florentine is widely recognized as a popular downtown destination for breakfast and brunch, frequently praised for its generous portions, fresh ingredients, and varied menu options. While a vast majority of patrons highlight the exceptional, friendly, and hardworking nature of the service staff, some visitors have noted that the restaurant can become quite crowded, leading to potential wait times or an occasionally rushed atmosphere. Most guests appreciate the overall value and consistent quality of the food, particularly the egg benedicts, pancakes, and creative additions like churros, though experiences regarding service speed and dining pace can occasionally fluctuate depending on how busy the venue is.

I'm usually pretty tough to please but my meal had really great flavors & textures. The staff are hustling & working together to provide a good experience. I only decided to write this becuase I don't agree with the current 4.1 rating. My waitress Lawrence regardless of how busy she was, had a smile on her face the whole time. Haley was also moving quickly to assure I had a great experience & my coffee didn't get below half a cup.

I arrived to a busy venue with serving ladies rushed off their feet. Despite this, I was served quickly & the delicious food was excellent value for money. The servers were hard-working & friendly - a credit to the venue.

Very busy breakfast spot; offering discounted breakfast specials before 8:30am. The service was nice, pleasant & speedy. Ordered eggs with crispy bacons. The potatoes were not as crunchy as other branches. The dining environment is smoky. It's nice to have a B & F in downtown that opens early.

This is the best place for a delicious breakfast/brunch for a great price. There are so many wonderful options to choose from. & it's located close to the QE Fairmont we stayed at. The waitress for our first visit was Marie, this lady is amazing, so efficient, so friendly, does everything with a smile! The best I've ever seen!! This place is extremely busy & for good reason, we went around 11:30am & got seated within a couple of minutes but the waitresses are busy so it may take a bit to get your food/bill but well worth it. We went back the next day & Jen was really good as well. Definitely eat here!
