The restaurant is named after America’s most famous founding father, Benjamin Franklin. While he was pinnacle in America’s birth, he also became the first ambassador to France. While on trips to Paris, he would wine and dine with the best of them and when he returned, he would bring back the French culture, food and wine, and share it with our new nation. Dishes like Potato Lyonnaise and Crème Brulée were the first of his favorites he shared with America. The Benjamin reflects that bridged gap between the two countries’ cultures. The restaurant and bar is french-inspired, but uniquely American. It sits in Ridgefield's historic district in a 1875 house, but the interiors are modern, elegant and new. Chef prepares dishes like Mussels, Foie Gras, Shrimp Toast, Chicken, Halibut, Duck, and more.

The food at RSI is always wonderful. What disappointed a bit last night was the service. First, the waiter did not understand a drink order, even though it was a signature cocktail from their menu. Next, he did not share any specials for the evening, yet did to other tables. Finally, a dessert item was not as listed- different topping which changed it. It will not keep us from returning, but hopefully this helps the management to know where training might improve their experience.

Went on a Friday night for dinner and karaoke. The food, drinks, staff, and patrons were great. We had so much fun celebrating our friend's birthday. She said it was the most fun she had in a long time. We will be back.

The atmosphere is hopping. The bar seems quite popular and the tables were full and animated. The servers were so busy taking care of customers and checking in, I kept bumping elbows on them. The servers really hustle here. All the food was delicious. I loved the eggplant napoleon, but I could’ve ordered 10 other tapas on the menu and been very happy. Will definitely return.
