A New American spot has debuted in the neighborhood. The new arrival to Lacy, called Benchmark, is located at 601 E. Santa Ana Blvd.
Benchmark serves shared plates, entrees, desserts and a kid's menu. On the menu, look for dishes like fried pickles, artichoke fondue, heirloom tomato and burrata salad and pan-roasted flank steak.
Benchmark has already attracted fans thus far, with a five-star rating out of 96 reviews on Yelp.
Mauricio H., who was among the first Yelpers to review the new spot on August 1, wrote, "Without a doubt one of the best restaurants in the area, with a unique combination between a pleasant atmosphere, excellent service and exquisite and original dishes."
Yelper Anna Y. added, “Braised pork nachos were delicious — pork was tender and the sauces were just right... Mussels were equally as good with a delicious broth and a great crunchy bread... Gochujang chicken was quite tasty — not too overpowered by the gochujang and had a nice crunch.”
Swing on by to take a peek for yourself: Benchmark is open from 11 a.m.–10 p.m. on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday and 11 a.m.–11 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. (It's closed on Monday.)
