This is usually a favorite but my last visit was less than stellar. A lot of small things together made it not great. Grapefruit spoons for coffee spoons, a sommelier that lacked tact and assumed we were unschooled and unaware of cost, shafted for complimentary madeleines every ither table got, a two dollar extra charge for club soda in a chartreuse drink that was $19, a sad lemon sorbet inside a over burnt baked alaska. Etc etc etc. been coming since they opened and this feels like the restaurant is a out to close.

This is a very special location... previously La Cote Basque... now Benoit... the staff is great... the wine list amazing... some of the food was very good... some, a bit plain and uninspired... desert was great... definitely worth a visit because we went on Valentine's Day which isn't really a good evening to judge their skill set properly. Enjoy!

When in Midtown, you have to stop in for lunch, or afternoon glass of wine. This bistro serves the best wines by the glass in the City. Also, the price points are reasonable too! As a bonus, the staff are professional and so accommodating.

We had a lovely, relaxed, and incredibly smooth evening at Benoit! It was our second visit in the past few weeks, and both times we’ve been taken care of exceptionally well by Paul. He really took care of us—thank you! Ambience is warm and transportive, food was excellent as always, really quite comforting.

One of the few places I can get Quenelles de Brochet outside of Paris. These were very good. My wife was not totally overwhelmed by her Dover Sole, but the wonderful waitstaff certainly carrie the day. Very glad we sat at a banquette. We wound up sharing our tarte tatin with a charming neighbor. The $12 Restaurant Week Vouvray was an unexpected plus!
