   Extremely understaffed. Not the usual hibachi experience.

   The chef that handled all the cooking in front of us was very good. The waiter hardly ever showed up during the 2 1/2 hours we were there. I thought there were not enough waiters in the restaurant compared to the amount of people.

   Make a reservation at your own risk, it means nothing. Reserved a table for 3 at 6:00 but wasn't seated until 6:30. What's the point of a reservation if we have to wait anyway??

   I have always loved Benihana and my to go place for special occasions. I knew on Valentine weekend would be a wait even with reservations, but this time it was ridiculous long wait. The chef did not know what he was doing, and the server rude and unfriendly. You could feel the stress in the atmosphere.

   We had a 6:15 reservation We had to wait over 30 minutes to be seated It took a while before a server came for drink order After a time we gave out food order and it took a while for the food to arrive to start cooking The servers were terrific. I believe the problem with the food was in the kitchen not the servers
