Beautiful place, delicious cocktails , great service… but stop there.

Calling yourself a steakhouse is an insult to actual steakhouses. We ordered a cut off the menu « cote de boeuf » 45oz split by 3 people. Asked for medium rare & got medium. Barely a sear on it. Got 2 sides & 2 sauces , mashed potatoes & fries which were laughable in terms of portions, barely enough for 1 person. Just that dish was 310$ before tax.

My wife had the ravioli dish which was 6 small ravioli with a huge sauce in the middle. Was it good? Yes… but again, the portion is ridiculous & is more of an entree then a main for 38$. Look at other people's pictures of the dish .

Do yourself a favor & go to maison boulud for one of the best cote de boeuf in the city & substantially cheaper.

Will not being going back.

I've been here twice, first time for lunch service which they had an amazing deal where the main course came with a complimentary appetizer.

The second time where I was hosted by a great dude named Niko. He prob made me the best cocktail I had in a while called the Cendres D'armbre.

This place seriously made me love eating steak & the staff has an amazing sense of charisma & charm.

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.

Expérience plus très agréable, je le recommande.

J'ai été au Benjamin pour la première fois dernièrement & j'ai vraiment aimé. Un excellent service de la part de Joseph, super efficace dans ses recommendations!

J'ai essayé le crab cake en entrée, la magret de canard pour mon repas & l'omelette norvégienne pour le désert. La viande était vraiment tendre, j'ai particulièrement aimé la sauce (je crois c'était à l'orange).

Il y a aussi une vaste sélection de martini pour les cocktails, je recommande le Martinez 🍸

Nous avons passé une excellente soirée! La nourriture était pleine de saveur, les cocktails sont originaux & très bien équilibré, & les desserts sont raffinés.

Le service a été excellent du début à la fin. Le personnel est chaleureux, attentionné & très professionnel. Merci à Maelle pour ses suggestions qui n'ont pas déçu!! Il est rare de retrouver un service aussi agréable à Montréal ces jours-ci.

We came with friends for a special occasion; excellent service, the staff really took great care of us. The food is excellent. Special mention to the barmaid Daniella, who made us amazing cocktails all evening. We recommend the'Madeleine d'Hiver' cocktail
