Super expérience au restaurant Benjamin ! Le mocktail était délicieux, le service attentif, & l'endroit est très agréable. Ils ont valet, c'est sur 2 étages - il y avait un événement à l'étage supérieur, mais nous étions en bas. Je recommande sans hésiter !
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!

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 !
great food & service. we ordered a bennedict, classic egg & a french onion soup. I said the soup flavor was too strong for me & they gave me a refund at the end. It was surprising.
def recommended!

It is a newly open restaurant. Atmosphere is very, very nice. We were sitting upstairs in the mezzanine, & we have a great view of the entire restaurant. Highly recommended if you're in for a romantic dinner.
The waitress, Emily, is very very nice & helped us to choose the appetizers. & her recommendation is right on.
Overall a great choice for a nice night out with my wife & my kid.
Went there for a friend's birthday. The food was horrible & the service was even worse. We were basically ignored by our waitress for most of the night, had to ask multiple times for basic things (water) , & still waited a long time. It completely ruined what was supposed to be a special occasion. Definitely would not recommend.

Une expérience horrible. Notre réservation a été annulée à la dernière minute sous prétexte que le chef était déjà parti. Ce n'est vraiment pas correct de faire perdre le temps des gens de cette façon. Je ne recommande absolument pas. Service déplorable.
Le restaurant était incroyable, la nourriture était extrêmement délicieuse, les employés étaient formidables & parfaits, honnêtement, le restaurant mérite plus de 5 étoiles! Je le recommande à tout le monde!
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 🍸

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
