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.

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.

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.

Le Benjamin in Montréal delivers an exceptional dining experience from start to finish. The atmosphere is warm & intimate, the service attentive without ever feeling intrusive, & the food is simply superb. I started with the escargots, beautifully prepared with Madeiro wine that highlighted every bite, followed by a perfectly seasoned boeuf tartare that struck the ideal balance of freshness & depth. Every dish felt thoughtful & expertly executed. A place I'll happily return to.
