The service was truly exceptional, very caring & professional staff, after a long time I felt this type of good service. Food is great some things better than others. One thing that I did not appreciate: when you go to pay, the tips included are not before tax, with the new law tips must be applied before tax so just be aware.
Excellent cake crab avec une fine touche de caviar, le martini perfect, un pur délice, les artichauts & le beurre aux truffes sublimes. Henriette, notre serveuse, est fantastique, d'un professionnalisme & d'une gentillesse inouïs. Benjamin, merci !

Ordered the dry-aged strip loin & it was delicious! Well cooked & it cut perfectly. Love the ambience of the restaurant as well. Will definitely come back.
Fantastic new steakhouse! While staying at the St Martin hotel, I decided to try this new restaurant. It was a good decision. Great food, great service, & nice atmosphere. Highly recommended!
Menu states dry aged 10 oz steak. Ordered rare. It was rare, & very tough. It was also much smaller than any 10oz ive ever had. For 68 dollars, it really felt like a scam. The sauce was supposed to be perigourdine for an extra price, but it ?only tasted burned bovril. My partner's filet mignon cooked medium well had blood on the plate, which implies steak never rested before serving.
For a restaurant that bills itself as premium steak house, it was worse than the keg.
Had boudin, deviled eggs, bone marrow, & confi leeks for app. The boudin was hard fried. The confi leeks were served cold. The bone marrow was minimal despite being in a massive bone. The deviled eggs were runny. It felt like room service food at a moderately expensive hotel.
The drinks were great. They just made them in batches then would hand them out to everyone in batches which meant waiting. Lots of waiting. They even asked me to wait for the manager before giving me my bill. 30 min later I asked if I could pay so I could leave. Never saw the manager. Bill was 300 +tip for 4 apps two mains 1 8oz glass if wine, 1 mixed drink, 1 glass prosecco.
My fiancé & I planned a date night dinner here. The atmosphere is very nice romantic, classy. The service was very friendly & helpful. The food quality is OK however a bit on the pricey side for what you get. My lobster dish could've come with two tails for the price & the risotto was a bit on the heavy side. I would also recommend perhaps getting a bottle of wine versus by the glass. Depending on the wine, a glass can be $45. Overall we enjoyed our time there. I'll be sure to order the crabcake again it was delicious & well priced.

Excellent souper au restaurant Benjamin. Tout était bon de l'entrée au dessert. La bavette de boeuf en plat principal est un must, fondante & goûteuse à souhait. Délicieux cocktails. Bonus, un délicieux amuse bouche nous a été servi avant le repas.
Prix un peu dispendieux, mais on s'en attendait. L'espace de notre table pour 2 était un peu serré.
Nous avons reçu un service exceptionnel de la part de Joelle. Souriante, disponible & très sympathique. Un des meilleurs service en restaurant que nous avons reçu depuis longtemps.
Hier, j'ai célébré ma fête dans ce restaurant & l'expérience a été tout simplement exceptionnelle ! Du début à la fin, tout était parfait.
Un immense merci à notre serveur, Raphaël, qui a fait preuve d'une patience, d'un professionnalisme & d'une gentillesse remarquables. Honnêtement, 100 % pour lui ! Raphaël a su rendre ce moment encore plus spécial par son attention & son énergie positive. Grâce à lui, ma soirée restera gravée dans ma mémoire.
Bravo également à toute l'équipe en cuisine chaque plat était délicieux, savoureux & préparé avec soin.
Merci infiniment à toute l'équipe pour ce moment magique. Je recommande sans hésiter & j'ai déjà hâte d'y retourner !
Nice Buzz, Nice setting. Friendly & Efficient Staff. In general food was good, wine great, but, Lobster Thermidor, not so…5 out of 10, so-so lobster tail not great recipe, I make much better at home. Would be much better if Half fresh lobster instead of frozen lobster tail, Owners could still reach decent price point…Risotto was great. desserts really good. Overall, nice evening.
