Is Benu worth it?

Occasion Worthy. Harry scores Benu 91/100 for quality and 77/100 on the Worth It scale for San Francisco. No paid placements, no affiliate links — just the arithmetic.

Three Michelin stars, a World's 50 Best nod, and a James Beard semifinalist tag is about as much critical consensus as a restaurant can collect — and here it's matched, not undercut, by the public numbers: 4.6 on Google across 755 reviews, 4.5 on Yelp across 1,277. That's rare; usually a three-star place trades volume for prestige and the crowd score sags. Not the case at Benu. At this price tier, that alignment between critics and a four-figure review base is the real signal, more than either number alone.

One card, one verdict. Pulled from current data, not a stale snapshot. Want the methodology? How Harry scores.
