Traditional French cuisine, beautiful cooked and great staff
It was a great experience! Food was great and the service was much better than most restaurants in nyc.
I frequently dine at Benoit before going to Carnegie Hall or MTC. My only comment about last evening was that when I asked for some additional toasts to go with my steak tartare, an additional $7 was added to my bill. Seems petty but in no way impacted the success of the evening.

Benoit New York offers a genuine French dining experience with high-quality plates and an extensive wine selection to complement the meal. The ambiance is charming and welcoming, attracting French expats, tourists, and local diners alike. The staff are generally attentive and friendly, creating a comfortable atmosphere. The busboys are especially praised for their excellent service.
The food is consistently praised for its deliciousness. The tarte tatin dessert is highlighted for its authenticity, and the French onion soup is considered one of the best. Guests can enjoy a prix fixe lunch that includes dishes like Pate en Croute and stuffed chicken with salsify. The pâté en croûte remains a favorite, and the restaurant's classic dishes, such as the quenelle and spaghetti with lobster, continue to impress. The chicken for two, pommefrittes, and profiteroles are favorites that never miss, and the cod is prepared and presented as well as in Monaco, Paris, or London. For dessert, many recommend sharing the mix œufs à la neige and mousse au chocolat as a delightful treat.
Benoit New York provides a comfortable setting for both romantic dinners and casual meals. It is recommended to trust the service staff for honest recommendations to enhance the dining experience. Guests are encouraged to visit the zinc bar for a drink before or after dinner, as it offers a great wine list, including selections like gruner veltliner. The place feels like an upscale Parisian bistro, but with English instead of French, making it both wonderful and delightful. Overall, Benoit New York remains a top choice for those seeking a taste of Paris in New York, with attentive service and excellent food.
