What Mark Johnson likes about Benji's French Basque Restaurant:
We enjoyed the cuisine, our first experience with Basque and hopefully not our last. Excellent food and service throughout. You were recommended by a waiter from Little Italy restaurant who raved about Basque. Also glad to meet the owner Benji who was most cordial. Tres bien! See you again highly recommended.
