Ben & Josep

Ben & Josep serves other dishes, but let’s talk about what has made this place famous: the steaks. Not just any steak, but the filet mignon. These are tender, even when cooked medio crudo (half-raw or very rare). Why is Ben and Josep’s steaks so special? Because they directly purchase the animal from the farmer and butcher it themselves. You can have your chunk of meat natural or with a black pepper, BBQ or blue cheese sauce. With a sidewalk table, this is a perfect way to watch the sun set.

Fabulous

Nice wine selection and very good prices. Thursday, Friday and Saturday packed with the local rich and famous people. They serve the best steak I've ever had. I really can recommend the steak with blue cheese sauce!
