   The overall experience was great, it was a great place for kids to celebrate birthdays. It is pricey but hassle-free.

   Started off great. Got seated as soon as we checked in. Waitress was very slow and hardly ever appeared. My husband’s meal was perfect. Mine was missing the sauce in the NAME avocado tartar; and they didn’t even put my daughter’s order in until we asked where it was after everyone was done eating and the waitress took after dinner tea orders. I asked for her dessert to be packed to go- chocolate ice cream. They brought vanilla and not packed. The chicken was so greasy her fingers were dripping wet. Will not be returning.

   We had to wait more than an hour for our table. Then it was another 30 minutes before we got our beverages. I love the food at Benihana, but I wish you could figure out the reservations. I don’t mind waiting but last night was excessive.

   We were seated half an hour past our reservation time and the service was extremely slow. However, the chef was good.

   Service was extremely subpar. Food was acceptable, but still not as good as most hibachi places I frequent. Soup was really good, lobster was also very good. Chicken was not great and the steak was average. This was my first experience with the Benihana chain and I will most likely favor local hibachj places over this chain in the future. We were charged for things we didn’t order, and while the Edamame was very good, it came out halfway through the meal. Our drinks were empty almost the whole time, and I had to go find a manager to get our check after waiting 10 minutes for the server to even show back up. Will not be going back to this location for sure.

   We waited for a table for 45 minutes past the reservation time. Once seated we were neglected and not offered any service at all. 65 minutes after our original reservation time we got up and left never even having a chance to order drinks.

    I made a reservation for 9pm, by 10pm we did not receive drinks yet or any appetizers & they had just taken our dinner order. I ended up leaving prior to receiving any drinks or food due to poor service. I will most likely not be attempting to dine here again.
