   The food was pretty bland. Our server would disappear for 20 min at a time seemed like. The cook was nice and kept us engaged. We waited for to go cups so long we just left.

   Awesome experience this time. Our chef, Ardis, was the real deal. Hilarious, fun, and without a doubt the most delicious Benihana experience we’ve had in the past few years. Wonderful service all around.

    Had 8:00 reservations. Chef didn't get to our table until after 9. Our family of 3 was sat with what appeared to be a "night shift worker" and her entourage. She and her group were having extremely inappropriate, vulgar, loud phone conversations the entire 2+ hour experience. Their crew was incredibly rude to the chef the entire time he cooked. We felt so sorry for him as he was an older gentleman. We could not wait to leave.
