Andrew C: Quite authentic French cuisine and extensive wine list!!! The escargot was small, but tasty and all the fish dishes (+fries) we ordered were all cooked perfectly and delicious
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.

Paula Buzzo: Chicken with salsa verde is the best chicken that I ate in NYC!! Ask for the fried fingerling potatoes as a side.Friendly staff and good ambience.
Andrew Smallwood: Great for breakfast with a twist
Hailey Heewoo Kim: Cute atmosphere, awesome food! The calamari was amazing(!!) and absolutely loved(!!!) the squid ink rigatoni with crab - it had the perfect hint of spice! Looking forward to another visit!
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.
