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 !
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 !

Plutôt déçu.
Cuisine pas suffisamment qualitative, ambiance pas folichonne, même le service, pourtant fort aimable, n'était pas au niveau de nos espérances.
Peut-être aussi que l'addition élevée a faussé notre point de vue.
The food was okay, the portion was quite small & not as presentable as I had anticipated. The service on the other hand was slow. Everyone was nice but it took quite some time to receive our food or anything. Raphael was our server & he was very friendly & attentive, but after his shift ended we had a different server that didn't come to see us once. We had brought a birthday cake as well that they didn't inform us of a service charge of $7 per person to cut the cake, which we didn't mind but at least inform us in advance, well the hostess when we had given her the cake.
Beautiful place, delicious cocktails , great service… but stop there.
Calling yourself a steakhouse is an insult to actual steakhouses. We ordered a cut off the menu « cote de boeuf » 45oz split by 3 people. Asked for medium rare & got medium. Barely a sear on it. Got 2 sides & 2 sauces , mashed potatoes & fries which were laughable in terms of portions, barely enough for 1 person. Just that dish was 310$ 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.
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.
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.
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.
