Reviews for Benoit New York in New York, NY
Overall very good food and service. The wine list is impressive. The one thing we found a little annoying was the pace. Took 15... minutes for them to take our order, took them so long to bring the ice bucket for the wine that the bottle was nearly empty whenit arrived, took too long to get the bill, etc. Read more
In NYC for the weekend in midtown and wanted to try something French. This is a really solid choice. Our server was very nice... and overall service was excellent. Started with several apps. Escargot, fois gras, charcuterie. Really enjoyed all of them! Charcuterie had a nice array of pate with prosciutto and another sausage plus some really nice baby gerkins. Escargot was reallygood but the flat out winner was the fois gras...highly recommend! For dinner, I had roasted duck which was really wellprepared but sadly was a little on the chilly side...no complaints though because it was really tender and tasty. Out table hadan array; flank steak, halibut, quenelles. Everyone really enjoyed their meal. We closed out with creme brulee and lavacake. Ton of drinks. Nice selection of speciality cocktails. Highly recommend! Read more
Great place for a dress down French brunch! I find the test of a good French place is in their butter. Needless to say, the... butter is stellar, better than ones I've had from France. The experience, while it may seem high street, is just an elevatedsetting to enjoy home-style french cooking. The Croque Monsieur was excellent, simple, and had quality ingredients. Service wasexcellent, with compliments to Miguel who wore several hats that day, taking notice of me in spite of working the bar. Heclearly was passionate of the restaurant and serious about his drinks/food. The manager was also excellent and talked to me morelike a friend, very humble :) Would come back again for a chill brunch! Read more
Have eaten here three times in the last month and absolutely love this restaurant. Food is sublime. Favorites include the spicy... shrimp ceviche, the duck foie gras, and the Filet mignon aux poivres. Service is great (altho they sometimes appear to be alittle understaffed). This is definitely a restaurant with a loyal following of diners. And I love seeing the executive chef,Laëtitia Rouabah, in the dining room checking on guests. One of my Top 5 restaurants in NYC.

Great location and fitting interior. As a party of 15 we were well taken care of with attentive yet unobtrusive service. The... grilled and smoked eggplant appetizer was not my really my thing, but the salmon with puréed sweet potato on the side wascooked to perfection. The dessert however was the absolute highlight, the profiteroles were each a small bite of heaving servedwith an understated chocolate sauce and a light vanilla ice cream. Read more
We went here for brunch. I’ll give it 5 stars for service…they are very friendly and attentive. They offer advice,... recommend without being offensive or condescending. Overall, a very classic French feel restaurant like you are in Paris. Theescargot is fantastic; not at all overly oily or greasy…they make it just right. The clams on a half shell-perfectly donewith the right vinegar based accompaniment. The only thing that was not bad at all, but just ok, was the foie gras. Of notfor this, I would rate 5 stars. Next time we will try for dinner. Looking forward to it. Read more
We love Benoit. Food is delicious and service is always great! We had Sunday brunch and we took our baby girl as well. Host was... so polite to help us with the stroller. Outdoor seating is chic and cute! We always enjoy to come back to Benoit. Note to therestaurant: Thanks to the hostess that walked 2 blocks to bring me the phone I left at the restaurant! I really appreciate it. Read more
A nice place to have a drink before City Center Theater performance, their bar area is quite spacious and not too crowded. Nice... selection of wines by glass, even have rare ones sold by ounce! Delicious cocktails ($17) - I had Apple on the Tree withcalvados and it was truly unique. The service was a bit slow despite not much guests at the bar. Read more
