Joshua Boggs: Great restaurant, top-notch service, solid cocktails, and extensive wine list. Really liked the Benoit Burger.
Eater: The bar room is a cool place for after-work cocktails and hors d’oeuvres, and on the weekends, Benoit serves one of the best brunches in Midtown (it includes a dessert buffet). [Eater 38 Member]
nymag: The three-course, $25 lunchtime prix fixe menu is one of the better deals in midtown. And per Adam Platt, the signature tarte flambée is worth a special trip. Read more.

Alisha Doran: My husband and I chose Certé catering for our wedding. Our expectations were met above and beyond. The food was exquisite and the service impeccable. I highly recommend Certé!
Noël Duan: For $1.75, you get an oatmeal raisin cookie bigger than your face. I would take a picture but I already ate it.
Raja H: Come here for the Montauk Hangover sandwich. Fried duck egg, creamed corn with pancetta, a spicy lobster sauce, and crispy fried leeks on a roll. (credit to Serious Eats)
Dawn Sandomeno: Great spot for a drink outside and the spiciest crab cakes I've ever had inside!
The Corcoran Group: Grab an outside table during the warmer months and enjoy a pitcher of sangria with a Beef Burger or Steak and Eggs. Relax, it’s the weekend, who cares if the service is slow.
Sexy LF: Put down the menu and order the truffle burger. Delish! You'll thank me later. The kale salad with shrimp is also delish but small.

Hotel Bar · Midtown East · 16 tips and reviews
Nikki Beauchamp: One of my favorite New York spots- if you enjoy a traditional tea time-highly recommend-great way to stop,and relax and step away from it all !
Alberto Mann: Do not sit near the crabby 30-something wearing a Christmas sweater. His faux French cultural references fall dramatically short. Order an Old Fashioned and hire a pro instead.
The Corcoran Group: You're definitely paying for the atmosphere here at this deluxe Four Season Hotel lounge. Drinks are good, but the real star of the show is the kobe sliders.
