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]

James H.: Soufflé is a must. Ask for the sauce with more grand mariner if that is the way you like it that is perfect for us
Tiffany & Co: The ruby banquettes at this classic French restaurant have been graced by presidents, Mad Men and movie stars. Make a dinner reservation tout de suite and request a small corner table.
