eric bornemann: Nice faux-Parisian bistro- one of the few places still doing fish quenelles and doing them right. Great casual bar - great place on your way to or from MOMA
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.

Jessica Torres-Soto: Cheesecake is Dee-lish! Very cool ambiance as well!
Harry: Nice, cozy little wine bar. Decent selection of wines and finger food. Conveniently located. However, the music does not suit the place and decor imho
Sexy LF: Nice selection of wines by the glass and a great, classy after-work scene. This isn't your popcorn and peanuts on the counter crowd.

Tiffany D: Salted chocolate caramel dessert was amazing!
The Wall Street Journal: The menu lists dishes simply and directly, with a fuss made only for local ingredients. Their Salmon ($32) should not be missed: It is steamed so gently, it melts in your mouth. Read more.
