Dining experience was great - friendly staff, quick service and modern but romantic ambiance. Although the food was good, it wasn’t amazing. Had app, main and dessert. Cocktails did tickle the taste buds. Docked one star because for the price, wife and I would rather eat elsewhere.

No gluten free alternatives left me no options except a $44 steak with fries for lunch. The steak, while cooked well, lacked flavor and could’ve been saved had it just had a bit of rock salt or garlic butter or rosemary as a garnish. The chef could have complimented the steak with 3 sticks of asparagus and mashed potatoes and it would’ve been classier and tastier than a mountain of fries. And the fries were average. The staff was kind, which lead me to leave 2 stars instead of one. Overall, a lackluster experience. I will not return.

I walked past here many times and thought what a beautiful restaurant. The dining experience definitely live up to its appearance. Très bien atmosphere, food, and service. I showed up on a weeknight for a bar seating for two. It was pretty easy and quick. I sat at the bar and Jorge took great care of me. The oysters were terrific: the mignonette and the horseradish were on point! I like that steamed mussels were fresh and didn’t have a dirt like taste. It is served with bread instead of fries. The fried chicken à l’Anglaise was thinly breaded so all the elements on it complimented each other very well and was not overpowering one another.

Food and service are excellent. Easy to reserve online and our table was ready once we arrived. Beautiful decor and open kitchen concept. The food is pricey but worth it. We got the bone marrow, sea trout, duck, and ribeye. Waiter was attentive with refilling waters and putting in additional drink orders.

I can't have dairy or gluten. Is there something for my restrictive diet at Monsieur Benjamin?

I just looked at their menu, and there are a few things that you should be ok to consume. However, you'll definitely want to confirm this either prior to visiting (by phone), or with your server before ordering. They can likely accommodate your dietary restrictions in any case. But IMO, it would be easier/better if you let them know when you make a reservation.
