Reviews

The French neighborhood local restaurant atmosphere at Benoit is terrific.
My skirt steak was cooked perfectly.
My dining partner enjoyed the escargot.
The sauce accompanying his seafood dish was excellent, prepared exactly as he expected.
The service is friendly and efficient, not overbearing.
We really enjoyed our dining experience here.

Perhaps the most authentically French of any restaurant in New York, Benoit was a mostly enjoyable experience.
We had the chicken for two which was delicious.
The pate to start was also very good.
The profiteroles were slightly disappointing as the ice cream was separate from the pastry.
The tasteless French bread was a big disappointment, the green beans were very plain. Service in the dining room was particularly good with a pleasant waiter who made excellent recommendations on the wine. One minor gripe is they asked to clear our plates three times when we clearly weren’t finished. Very major gripe though was the use of the loathsome device where you “pick a tip” when you pay your bill.
To have this at a restaurant of this purported quality was frankly insulting.
We got a drink at the bar before and in addition to not being able to transfer the bar bill to the table got the loathsome device there as well.
So we got a double dose of being made to feel cheap if we wanted to tip less than their 18% minimum choice.
Alain Ducasse really do you need this?

I had dinner at Benoit, and that was a very enjoyable experience.
I really liked the restaurant's decor as it reminds you of classic French bistros.
The service was top notch, and our server's recommendations were spot-on.
All dishes except for one were nicely presented and perfectly cooked.
That one dish that I'm talking about was Confit Halibut.
Even though it was nicely presented, it was way overcooked. Despite that one bad dish, I wouldn't hesitate to visit Benoit again.
