Sebastien Kuo: Get anything with szechuan peppercorns, e.g. mapo tofu
Meg: Very vegetarian friendly and the service was great. Do not miss this place!
Jason B.: Been there several times and the service hugely depends on who your head waiter is. The food is only okay at best. Overpriced, specially the vegetable dishes.

Douglas Elliman: Alain Ducasse’s high-end bistro modeled after the original Benoit in Paris. It has a rich beautiful décor however maintains a relaxing vibe. We highly recommend the Cassoulet!
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.

Italian Restaurant · Midtown East · 16 tips and reviews
Dave: Very traditional cuisine and atmosphere. Artichokes are great.
Ashley Mas: One of my favorite restaurants in NY! Spectacular food, classic old Italian ambiance. Worth the price, but it's not for you if you're looking for something quick and/or quiet (like I said, Italian...)
Alberto: Horrible service...completely ignored after our dinner was served. Took 45 minutes to leaves after we were done
