   I love going to Kimonos! However this evening for me fell flat unfortunately. We were seated on time. Waiter took our orders for drinks and meals. However everything went downhill from there. Our cook took over an hour to come out. I let the waiter and cook ( once he came out ) know that I had a shellfish allergy. There was also someone else that also had an allergy to mangos sitting with us and she let them know as well. The cook assured us he would be cooking our food pretty much first before any of the seafood. However he must have forgotten with all the tricks and entertainment he was trying to provide, because he did exactly what he said he wasn’t going to do. He put all the seafood along with the vegetables on the grill. With the same utensils he begins to start cooking and mixing. I couldn’t believe I was seeing. I decided to just get up and leave as I was done with the service for the evening knowing I could not eat the food. My husband did stay to inform the cook why I got up and the cook apparently apologized, which I do appreciate. He went to back cleaned utensils and cleaned grill. And made my food over. He also gave us a voucher to come back. We will still go back. I just think they were short cooks and the cooks were probably tired and ready to be done. It was Valentine’s Day and extremely busy.

   Took my 90+ yro parents for dinner last night. This was our first visit to Kimono. A lot of menu options for non-Teppanyaki. Our server Alex was fantastic and helped us navigate the menu. We all enjoyed our entrees, which included the combo for 2 : Beef Teriyaki and Mixed Tempura that included rice, edamame, soup and salad which my parents shared. Side order of salmon sashimi for my dad. I had the combo poke bowl (tuna/salmon) Sashimi and poke were both excellent. My only suggestion is to offer a different salad dressing and tempura dipping sauce. Both were heavily Ginger based and not very pleasant.

   I have requested Eric to cook for me today on the cooking table. He is always good because he never burns my food or overcook it. Eric is a good conversationalist, a very friendly chef, and is definitely a great cook. Said hi to my favorite server, and had a delicious lunch!

   Most of the time Kimono has excellent service. However, today they had more customers on the cooking table, so service was slower. Food is delicious as always. I had a very nice chef. Sorry I forgot his name. He did a great job at cooking my Tenppan shrimp. I still love Kimono!

   Once again, Kimono was a dreamboat. Had the chef named Eric cooked for us. He cooked my Chicken dish perfectly fine. Both tender and tasty. Thank you Eric! 😉❤️❤️
