"For some briny bites before walking over to the SF Symphony to sit through live film scores, Monsieur Benjamin is the answer. The modern French spot is the ideal pre-show stop in Hayes Valley, and the raw bar items are highlights on the meat and seafood-heavy menu. Oysters sourced from all across the country get zhuzhed up with a squeeze of lemon, zingy mignonette, and hot sauce out of a branded miniature bottle." - Julia Chen 1, Ricky Rodriguez
