Menu
Warmly greeted and professionally served- all as it should be in a top restaurant. Excellent traditional menu and wines by the glass high quality.
Had another lovely meal and experience here on Saturday night. Very much enjoyed my two glasses of Puligny Montrachet wine thanks to the highly professional assistant manager Emma who took care of me after I expressed my displeasure with a borderline inept waitress who ignored my requests even after I told her that she took way too long to approach me. Rest of the staff, including managers Marc and Jeremy, and server Miguel, are absolutely wonderful, however! Benoit continues to be a classy and authentic French bistro with the best onion soup and tarte flambee in town! Will be returning in two weeks.

This restaurant was wonderful! We ate there the first night they were open again after closing for COVID. The staff were so welcoming and everyone seemed very happy. The food was So delicious and authentically French. The bartender made me a delicious mocktail, while others enjoyed delicious wine with dinner. We ordered the chocolate soufflé for dessert and it was amazing!! I would definitely go back. Highly recommend!

Celebrated Lunar New Year with mom: Filet mignon was one of the best steaks I had. It was perfectly seasoned and cooked, melts in your mouth. Poulet roti was bland, even with sauce tasted bland as well despite adding a lot of ground pepper. Tarte flambee was great, a little bit oily. Needs more bacon/lardon on it. Cheesiest french onion soup was memorable as well. Fantastic attentive crew and lovely ambience is also a great plus.

Benoit continues to shine even during these challenging times. Wonderful service, delicious food as is their standard, and a great makeshift warm atmosphere. Dare I say I felt “normal” during our dinner.

Outdoor seating for more than 2 people was terrible. Refused to give us more than one heater for four people. Overall just not a great experience.

I went on Christmas Eve it was totally rushed by the restaurant .I made an 830 reservation and they should not be taking reservations at that time. Management made me feel like I was at a McDonald’s hurry up hurry up hurry up . Ordered second glass of wine and got a quarter pour. Love this place but Christmas Eve was not good.

This restaurant feels safe to dine in New York at the moment. It is a bit cold but we didn't mind. Food is as good as pre-Covid-19. Service is great. The outdoor terrace that they built is very nice, elegant and follows the outdoor dining rules.

It was my last time going out to dinner in the city with my best friend before leaving to move to Colorado. What an incredible dinner and atmosphere. We were truly able to enjoy a spectacular last dinner as best friends together with the restaurant very eager to make it an incredible last experience and being extra flexible during the pandemic. Definitely recommend the filet mignon with the peppercorn sauce, the butternut squash soup, and a bottle of good Sancerre to accompany your meal. Thanks Benoit!

Had another outstanding meal at Benoit the other night. Food, wine, service, and ambience continue to be top-notch. Although they recognize me from past visits, I've noticed that ALL customers are treated professionally and with warm deference and respect. If you are new to this elegant French bistro, I would highly recommend ordering their authentic French onion soup, their to-die-for tarte flambé, the perfect escargots (no ugly shells), the foie gras pate, their delicious roast chicken, and their fresh king salmon, to name just a few. I am quite fussy about my bread, but their new bread supplier is a genius: it's world class - the very best on the planet. I rarely have room for dessert, but when I do, neither the chocolate soufflé nor their homemade profiteroles will disappoint! Also impressive is the caring way in which they've responded to the Covid situation: the dining room seating has been reconfigured to ensure a generous distance between tables, and additionally, unobtrusive partitions have been set up as well. Already looking forward to my next visit, as usual. :-)

I love this restaurant-first outdoor and now indoors.
The service is always on point and the food is wonderful. My friend and I have gone there so much I think they know us now... they did a great job with their outdoor experience-you don’t feel like you are in midtown. It’s fabulous!

Very good or better in most areas... wine by the glass might benefit from some additional focus...
Trivial: if a party of 2 orders a burger and a side of frites, they should be informed that the burger is accompanied by frites
Staff could not have been more welcoming or polite.
