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 !
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.
Bon restaurant, menu de la Saint-Valentin réussi, mais les portions étaient petites.
L'accueil de la part des hôtesses fut moyen (bâillements en pleine figure, pas terrible).
Le service, par contre, était très professionnel, souriant & discret mention spéciale pour Raphaël.
De belles saveurs, & ce pithiviers au canard : un délice.
C'était notre première fois & nous reviendrons pour essayer la carte cette fois-ci… en espérant que l'hôtesse soit moins fatiguée 🌙🌚
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!
Belle place,le serveur David professionnel, la bouffe a travaillé un peu plus coktel de crevettes (4) manque volume & couleur, entrecôte assiette froide,& frites honnêtement pas la hauteur ,trop cuites & beaucoup de bout accompagnent de sauce pas chaude & pas assez,cuisson de la viande parfaite, présentation ordinaire, le dessert excellent..
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.
Horrible organization! I reserved a table a month in advance for an event & they canceled my reservation with zero explanation 5 days before the actual event. When I called they just told me they have a private event so they canceled all the reservations.If you respect your planing & time do not waste your time with this place!

Benjamin is a nice place. Great concept: French steakhouse. The food was great. I had the French onion soup to start. It was perfectly balanced, not greasy, great. I also tried the grilled bone marrow from a friend & the grilled leek (served cold). All good. Then I had the fillet mignon with the sauce perourgine (?) & truffle mashed potatoes. The truffle flavour didn't come through enough. It also didn't come through on my friend's truffle fries. They did not have a good batch I guess. But I would say that overall that didn't matter. The food was really good.
The biggest issue was the final bill which had several errors in pricing. The sides were at $16 (instead of $12 as stated on the menu) & my sauce was meant to be $10 extra but on the bill said +$14. There were errors on my friend's bill as well. Be careful to check! I will also point out that the menu here on Google has changed & the pricing of some of the items is also different. All that aside, it's a good restaurant. Good food & nice service.
La nourriture était vraiment excellente, un des meilleurs restaurants auxquels nous avons mangé sans hésitation!! Le service était impeccable, que ce soit celui de notre serveuse Émilie ou de tous ces collègues. Nous y retournerons c'est certain!
Superbe expérience pour le lunch. Le service était tout simplement incroyable, attentionné & chaleureux. Un immense merci à Léa Frédérique pour son service impeccable, ainsi qu'à Philippe pour son accueil exceptionnel. La nourriture était délicieuse , (le burger Wagyu est divin) & le cadre vraiment agréable. On a déjà envie d'y retourner.
Excellent dîner sans réservation. Il y avait longtemps que je n'avais pas mangé du boudin. Eh bien cest très bon ici ! Mon plat de résistance fût les ravioles aux truffes sauce sauvagine, un délice!!!
