   Be prepared for a wait. With a confirmed reservation for 6:00pm, we didn’t get seated until 6:30pm.

   The reservation is a scam. We booked the table for 7:45pm and arrived on time but still waited to be seated for almost an hour

   Food as always, so fun to watch the prep. Everything from the soup, salad, veggies, chicken fried rice, chicken and filet mignon were cooked to perfection. They even have smaller lunch portions. Perfect for smaller appetites.

   This Benihana has improved a lot, and it showed. The food and drinks were plentiful, and they were served in a fashionable time. Our waiter and chef were very attentive to our table by engaging the table in the cooking process and communicating with each individual at the table at the right times. ( when we're not chewing our food!) They pointed out the difference between the 5 course and 6 course meals. We did not have a long waiting period to pay our check. One downside was that it was very warm in the restaurant, and the place was packed. I don't remember any establishments that keep their restaurant that hot.

    The food and cooking/show was great. The chef was entertaining and talented. The service was slow and inattentive.
