    I love going to Diane American Grill! The food and service is exceptional. My husband is in a wheelchair and they (Carmen) assisted us throughout the show as well as inning back to the theater and taking us to our seats. It was awesome. We ate season ticket holders and dine there every show. They never disappoint!

    I celebrated Christmas with a friend and had the most amazing time as Betty prepared a delicious meal for us. The manager even came by and took some photos of us to memorialize the occasion. Christmas at this Benihana is now a second-year tradition for me as a Houston transplant. Thanks as always!

    We enjoyed a special Christmas Eve dinner here as a family. We enjoyed the cheese flight & the prosciutto flight for apps. Collectively, our meals included lobster, the pork chop entree, the sea bass entree, and the scallop entree. We shared the brussels and the crab mac & cheese. This was the most expensive meal we've ever eaten or as a family and it was worth every penny. We were too full for dessert, but the options all sounded incredible. To our surprise, the most delicious warm cookies were brought to our table right before our check. Best cookies ever! Highly recommend!
