La perle du quartier

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 Benjamin is a good , albeit overpriced restaurant. A birthday dinner for two ($213 with 18% tip) where that was signalled in advance didn't come with any recognition of that fact at the outset, and only offered a very good exploding candle at the end after I had mentioned that it was my wife's birthday. OK, but why diminishing off the 5 stars The Benjamin would hope to get. In descending order of importance... 1. Cocktail and milles feuille too sweet for the $30+/large plate cost, while branzino and roasted chicken too salty. That said, we ate it all and would give it 3.5 stars if possible. 2. Somewhat cheap looking shaky small table and chairs. 3. Initial tap water request took about 20 minutes to get there, after the cocktail... 4. You need to pay for bread which honestly is kind of dumb given the prices you pay, and would have helped soak up some of the sauces. That's a real head scratcher. (though the people at the table next to us who had myriad complaints about this and that in their meal did mention overheard that at least the bread was only $6 now instead of the $12 it'd been before!) Honestly this is a bit of penny wise and pound foolish in my view... Barata and Beet salad, and octopus small plate both were very good Our server was attentive but it appeared that the staff overall wasn't that experienced, and probably would be good given the prices to work on the pronunciation of the French offerings (milles feuilles for example for the snobs who show up and expect a lot given the pricing, especially for those who remember the food at the Benjamin's predecessor, Bernard's.) To be fair, the Benjamin is good, could definitely be better for the big pricing. So 3.5 stars max out of 5.

It’s a lovely place and food and service are excellent, but it took a very long time for dinner to arrive. Plan on spending a couple hours for your meal.

The Benjamin consistently delivers a quality menu. I ordered the White Linen cocktail. My new summer favorite. The bartender is happy to give me his secrets on this DELICIOUS drink. We also ordered their crispy artichoke appetizer. Wow! Forget french fries. This stuff is crack! A final word on the wait staff - superb! Valerie catered to our interests throughout the meal as did the support staff. Truly, fine dining here!

We had a wonderful meal and the whole experience exceeded our expectations. The staff was pleasant and attentive. The cocktails and food were delicious and we enjoyed being outside on a beautiful night. The acoustic guitar player was good and not too loud. I thought it may be stuffy but was an enjoyable experience for our anniversary but I would return for a nice meal anytime. Thanks for a nice night!
