"Fried chicken à l’anglaise stuffed with homemade ham and Gruyère and topped with a sauce suprême with button mushrooms is now up for grabs at Corey Lee’s casual bistro in the Civic Center. “[It’s] kind of retro, but so tasty,” he says."

"Monsieur Benjamin helped usher in a new wave of French restaurants over the past few years. The snappy black-and-white bistro drops unapologetically rich dishes, like oeufs mayonnaise, crispy frog legs, bone marrow, and seafood sausage. Make no mistake, this is a Corey Lee restaurant, and it’s only deceptively casual. Stocks and sauces are slow simmered, aprons starched, herbs arranged with tweezers, and everything is impeccable." - Dianne de Guzman, Eater Staff

"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
