    Our cook Adan was absolutely amazing! The food was delicious last night, as lately the times I have gone with my family it has been so so, well last night made up for the other experiences. Also our waitress, I don’t remember her name but it was her first night, she did absolutely amazing for it being her first night on a Saturday ! She wasn’t nervous and she jumped right in like she has been doing this forever. She was friendly and smiled a lot , she was quick to get everything we needed and very interactive with the guest! An atmosphere like Beninihanas needs more waitresses like that as it can be very intimidating with the amount of guest on weekends!
