For unknown reasons I was at Aubergine and Benu in the same month. In summary, Aubergine is classic and Benu is minimalist. So depending on what you seek, classic or minimalism, you'll enjoy. And go to both on OPM. (-:

Beware! They will charge you full price for any reservation that you don't cancel within 48 hours prior. I paid $1140 and have never been to the restaurant. When I called the manager, Shanae.. she basically said "too bad". Extremely rude! There are so many good restaurants in the area, and I have never been treated so poorly at any of them. Hoping to save you from the headache it has caused me.
