In NYC for the weekend in midtown and wanted to try something French. This is a really solid choice. Our server was very nice and overall service was excellent.
Started with several apps. Escargot, fois gras, charcuterie. Really enjoyed all of them! Charcuterie had a nice array of pate with prosciutto and another sausage plus some really nice baby gerkins. Escargot was really good but the flat out winner was the fois gras...highly recommend!
For dinner, I had roasted duck which was really well prepared but sadly was a little on the chilly side...no complaints though because it was really tender and tasty. Out table had an array; flank steak, halibut, quenelles. Everyone really enjoyed their meal.
We closed out with creme brulee and lava cake.
Ton of drinks. Nice selection of speciality cocktails.
Highly recommend!

Great place for a dress down French brunch! I find the test of a good French place is in their butter. Needless to say, the butter is stellar, better than ones I've had from France.
The experience, while it may seem high street, is just an elevated setting to enjoy home-style french cooking. The Croque Monsieur was excellent, simple, and had quality ingredients.
Service was excellent, with compliments to Miguel who wore several hats that day, taking notice of me in spite of working the bar. He clearly was passionate of the restaurant and serious about his drinks/food. The manager was also excellent and talked to me more like a friend, very humble :)
Would come back again for a chill brunch!

Have eaten here three times in the last month and absolutely love this restaurant. Food is sublime. Favorites include the spicy shrimp ceviche, the duck foie gras, and the Filet mignon aux poivres. Service is great (altho they sometimes appear to be a little understaffed). This is definitely a restaurant with a loyal following of diners. And I love seeing the executive chef, Laëtitia Rouabah, in the dining room checking on guests. One of my Top 5 restaurants in NYC.

Great location and fitting interior.
As a party of 15 we were well taken care of with attentive yet unobtrusive service.
The grilled and smoked eggplant appetizer was not my really my thing, but the salmon with puréed sweet potato on the side was cooked to perfection. The dessert however was the absolute highlight, the profiteroles were each a small bite of heaving served with an understated chocolate sauce and a light vanilla ice cream.

Like being in Lyon. Food perfect and plentiful. Very professional staff. Great wine selection.
We had calves liver and cassolette. A bottle of Saint Estephe. We were very happy and took a lot of our food home for lunch tomorrow.

We went here for brunch. I’ll give it 5 stars for service…they are very friendly and attentive. They offer advice, recommend without being offensive or condescending. Overall, a very classic French feel restaurant like you are in Paris.
The escargot is fantastic; not at all overly oily or greasy…they make it just right. The clams on a half shell-perfectly done with the right vinegar based accompaniment.
The only thing that was not bad at all, but just ok, was the foie gras. Of not for this, I would rate 5 stars.
Next time we will try for dinner. Looking forward to it.

Nice atmosphere, attentive service, and decent food. All the dishes we got were “good but nothing special”, including the skirt steak, cod, burger, corn side and fries. Would not veto coming again but definitely not first choice.

Great French Fine Dining Experience! Reservations are highly recommended. Please be sure to bring your ID and vaccination card. The service was excellent and the staff was super friendly. Our food came out fast and we got great recommendations from the waiters. The cassoulet and steak is a must w/ a side of pomme frites. The restaurant is well decorated and has amazing lighting. Perfect for romantic date night, small and large gatherings. You can also show up and head to the bar area for drinks which is spacious and beautifully decorated.

We love Benoit. Food is delicious and service is always great! We had Sunday brunch and we took our baby girl as well. Host was so polite to help us with the stroller. Outdoor seating is chic and cute! We always enjoy to come back to Benoit.
Note to the restaurant: Thanks to the hostess that walked 2 blocks to bring me the phone I left at the restaurant! I really appreciate it.
