We attended a champagne wine tasting at the restaurant. It is our second time attending a tasting event there. It was lovely. Paul (the sommelier) was super knowledgeable and we tasted some great champagnes. Would definitely recommend. We had an amazing dinner afterwards.

A lovely pre-performance dinner. Due to traffic, we were 15 minutes late for our 5:30 pm reservation, and yet they were able to have us out the door by 7:00pm, without feeling rushed. The food was wonderful...Steak Tartare, Escargot, Quenelles, Scallop Carpaccio with Celeraic , their famous French Fries, and delicious wines by the glass. Service excellent! This is the perfect place to dine when attending a performance at the NY City Centre, which is half a block away. We didn't have time to try the Cassoulet, but will be back again for that Winter warmer. It looked divine.

Benoit is the beautiful midtown bistro by Alain DuCasse which incorporates fabulous French food with intricate Italian flavors to provide diners a delightful dining experience. The elegant old school dining room and experienced staff all take enormous pride in their product. The classic traditional French dishes alongside Italian favorites mirror Ducasse’s upbringing. The amazing wine list and sommelier talent always gives me a window into innovative producers and quality wines to complement delicious dishes like Dover sole, Quenelles, Steak au poivre and other French classics. Desserts are not to be missed so enjoy and joyeaux noel. Merci beaucoup Alain and all the Benoit team.

Our meals were tasty but the quality was uneven. The escargots seemed like they were reheated and were not hot enough. The risotto was lacking enough mushrooms and needed more seasoning to make it interesting. Beef tartare was good, chopped rather than ground and the chocolate dessert was a nice ending with the surprise madeleine.

Bonjour Elizabeth, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.
