Restaurant luxueux, accueil & service impeccable. Pour la bouffe : tartare bien équilibré & bien épicé. Les pâtes aux truffes, la portion était plutôt petite & malgré que ma fille avait pris un tartare en entrée, elle avait toujours faim. Pour un personne avec un bon appétit, j'ose pas imaginer. Ma blonde à pris le poisson, encore là, je comprends le thème du restaurant luxueux avec des portions faméliques, mais regarder la photo, a part le poisson, qui était bon mais trop salé, il n'y a presque rien avec, ça prend un équilibre entre la protéine & l'accompagnement surtout si c'est des légumes. Moi c'était les linguine (homard) bon goût mais encore ici 100 g de pâte de plus aurait été le bienvenu, surtout qu'il y avait en masse de sauce & de bon morceaux de homard.
Went to Benjamin & although it was smaller than expected, it more than exceeded expectations. The atmosphere was enhanced by French music that instantly made the experience feel like a little escape to France, an affordable way to travel without the gas prices.
For starters, we had the burrata, Newfoundland oysters, & snails. The burrata stood out with its subtle sweetness from the peaches, creating a beautifully balanced flavour profile. The snails were a highlight; rich, flavourful, & perfectly prepared.
For mains, we ordered the steak & sea bass. The steak was incredibly buttery & tender, easily one of the best I've ever had & something I'd return for alone. The sea bass, paired with wild mushrooms, was equally impressive; even as someone who doesn't usually enjoy fish, I found myself genuinely loving it.
Everything was paired with a fruity white wine (Aix), thoughtfully recommended by our lovely waitresses Stacy & Daniella. To start the night, Daniella also treated us to one of her signature yuzu shots… a perfect & refreshing opener.
Overall, a fantastic experience from start to finish. If you haven't been yet, it's definitely worth visiting because I know I'll be going back.
Tout était parfait ! L'accueil, la nourriture, l'ambiance & le service ( un merci particulier à Valter, pour sa gentillesse & ses suggestions )
Nous recommandons fortement ce restaurant., coup de coeur assuré. Merci à toute l'équipe.

Soirée de notre 30 anniversaire de mariage ont a eu de plaisir de découvrir cette magnifique restaurant. Une ambiance tranquille, élégant & professionnelle. On a été servi par le professionnalisme d'Émilie.
La nourriture exquise, une mention especial pour l'équipe du bar, les cocktails étaient délicieux.
Merci
Great service. Food was underwhelming. Steak had a lot of gristle & untrimmed fat that i think they could've done a better job trimming. Sides were really good though!
This was the first time dining at Benjamin. We had made reservations for 7.15. We arrived at 7.30 after notifying the restaurant that we would be 15 minutes late. When we arrived & were seated we were informed that we would have to leave by 9.30. For a top rated restaurant this was unacceptable & found it to be rude. I ordered the 18oz rib eye my friend ordered the lobster. Our wives ordered salad & & snails. The service was good. The food was ok, but no where as good as the prices charged. We won't return. Gibby's is far better.
