Exceptional service from start to finish. Huge thanks to David P his recommendations were spot on, & he really knows his wine.

This steakhouse is clearly on its way to becoming a must-visit, thanks to both the outstanding quality & the attention to detail from the staff.

The atmosphere feels like a Parisian bistro, & you get that impression right as you walk in, with a beautiful display showcasing their premium cuts. They also have an impressive wine cellar with a great selection.

Special mention to the meat quality especially the wagyu carpaccio, which was absolutely incredible.

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.

Was out for dinner with an advisor of mine & the scene was very nice here. Quiet enough for good conversation.

We were seated right away without rsvp.

Service was excellent & provided good recommendations. You have to try the crispy blood sausage - this was suggested as very popular so had to try. It was so delicate but still had a bite. I also ordered the crab cakes & was nicely done.

What was disappointing was my dry aged sirloin. I ordered it medium rare, but had a very inconsistent temperature. Flavor wise, it was very beefy & had a nice crust to it. I might have been happier with the filet.

They brought out small hors d'oeuvres which were lovely.

Our waitress was super nice, had great suggestions & was helpful with the menu.

Would come back to try other cuts of beef. Will update hopefully soon .

Went here for lunch. Service. Food recommendations were all 5 star.
Our server David P was FANTASTIC for his recommendations for both wine & food.
Definitely ask for him he is a gentleman. Friendly to speak to & smiling the whole time.
He respected that we were having a business lunch all while smiling & being charming

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 🍸
