We have worked with Bentel & Bentel on three major projects in the past seven years. They are very good listeners and great collaborators. They have been both pragmatic and symbolic in their designs because they draw from a deep well of personal artistic creativity. The result is spectacular, timeless and evocative. We, and our guests, are nourished when we inhabit their sculptural space. David Mancini, General Manager, Le Bernardin, Prive, Aldo Sohm Wine Bar
“We wanted avant-garde, modern, but we wanted timeless too.” Emmanuel Verstraeten, Owner, Rouge Tomate
“The passion and knowledge behind everything they do is nothing short of extraordinary. Their work is much deeper than just creating something beautiful, but something that’s functional, timeless, and welcoming to everyone that walks through the door.” Will Guidara, Owner, Eleven Madison Park
“ Astute use of new materials that enliven but respect the existing context.” Jury member for AIA Small Projects Award for Ground Café
"We started with luxury, contemporary, sexy, warm, and convivial. Further on in the process, we added sophisticated, serene, and comfortable." Eric Ripert, Chef, Le Bernardin
“At last count we’ve worked with Bentel & Bentel on eight beautiful restaurants, including Gramercy Tavern, which was their very first foray into the world of hospitality. Each one of the projects is as compellingly different from one another as night and day — and therein lies the untold story on Bentel & Bentel. These are collaborative listeners of the highest order, and they crave being challenged to go places they have not yet been. They hear and tell stories via flawless design, they sweat the details, and in the end — they are happiest when they see their creations come alive with happy people providing and receiving hospitality in an environment that transports them to an even better place.” Danny Meyer, Restaurateur
