In just two short months, it's already my third visit to this restaurant.This restaurant is a great choice for a date, not only because the food is delicious, but also because the overall dining atmosphere is particularly pleasant.I highly recommend their fries, which are not too salty and fried to perfection, very tasty, and you can feel the chef's delicate craftsmanship.The steak is cooked to perfection and I highly recommend it as well.The chocolate soufflé dessert has a moderate sweetness, with a slightly bitter chocolate flavor, and is accompanied by banana ice cream, which is a truly beautiful combination.

My wife & I enjoyed an amazing pre-ballet dinner at Monsieur Benjamin. From the bread to the salad to dinner - every bite was a feast to our mouths.Thank you for creating an incredible dining experience.

Average food and the duck confit is no more. Take care as they include a 20% tip upfront on the billand if you are not careful end up tipping twice… not a friendly move.

Great date night location, must make reservations or wait 1hr+ on a weekend night... got the pork chop - juicy, tender, flavorful. French onion soup is a classic pick. Good wine selection, too.

My wife and I ate here for her birthday and it was a fantastic choice. We had the bone marrow, escargot, and croquettes to start. She had the flounder and I ate the Quail Pie. Everything was fantastic and I was very satisfied with my choice of the Quail Pie. Service was great and my wife enjoyed it immensely.

A wonderful discovery from Mexican visiting San Francisco. Since the weather was cold, we started with French Onion Soup. Very well prepared and presented. Flavor was correct and as expected. Then we decided to order the whole fish with olive oil and capers and this was excellent. Full of flavor and with a impecable presentation. The serving was sufficient for both of us. We had no desert this time. I highly recommend this restaurant. You will be very surprised. In addition, the chef is present and this certainly makes a difference.

Quality French restaurant not far from the performing arts area of the city. Modern ambiance with well prepared dishes. The potato croquette appetizer was not very good, under-seasoned and looked like it was not house-made. The butter lettuce salad was huge, easily enough for 2, but the baked brie was vary tasty. The flounder stuffed with spinach was excellent with a delicious sauce. The quail pie filling was really tasty as was the pie crust. The steak frites was a little disappointing, the steak was undercooked (sent it back) and the portion of fries was way too big. The steak tasted good though. Serving staff were excellent, attentive and friendly. Overall a good dining experience if a bit pricey.
