Great experience here celebrating my girlfriend’s birthday! Osetra Caviar & steak tartar was a wonderful way to start our meal. She loved her Scallops with Koji Risotto & my Aged Ribeye was cooked to perfection. Service was phenomenal, our server was prompt, attentive & knowledgeable, allowing my girlfriend tastings of several wines to ensure her satisfaction, truly making my her birthday special. Another tally for server Emily, thank you

The "standard" Benihana "show" at the hibachi table, which is enjoyable. Standard Benihana food, though prices went up maybe 10% in the past few months since our last visit. It would have been better had there been more chefs available, as we waited quite a while before cooking started (and we saw many other tables with the same problem).

The service and our server was amazing. They took the time to explain to us questions we had about the drinks and dinner menu. Great date idea / location to watch the sunset and have great drinks and food. I recommend the order off the grill for a good meat lovers date night. We got the Churrasco* This includes a variety of meat which we requested medium rare and was super juicy and delicious- New york strip, lamb chops, achiote chicken, Argentinian chorizo. The server carved our meat table side so it was a fun experience.
