Fourth time eating here and another outstanding meal. Restaurant and bar was packed on a wet Friday night and full of energy. All dishes (steak, chicken and moussaka) were excellent. Creative cocktail selections.

My family had a pleasant, memorable experience at Benihana last night! We’ve had dinner here multiple times, but last night was one of our favorites! Our chef, Zane, perfectly cooked our food at a good pace and kept us entertained with his hilarious jokes and impressive tricks. We hope to get him as our chef again the next time we dine here!

Excellent service as always, including the food. The added touch with the security guard in the parking lot was perfect in light of the fact that there has been many vehicle break-ins over the years……thank you, Kincaid.……
