    Beware, don’t buy the super anything! Regular & Super same size portions….ripped off. Said something and staff couldn’t care less and proceeded with overcharging. Hood vents do not work. You can’t see across the room due to smoke. Anyone with breathing issues beware. The hood vents over each cooking station do not work!

    Unfortunately we waited over an hour to be seated-even with our reservation. Then the food didn’t start getting cooked for another hour on top of that. Sean was our chef and he was amazing!! The food was delicious. But after waiting two hours just for the experience to start I was disappointed in the overall service of the restaurant. I understand they were busy but in the future I suggest either not allowing walk-ins or limiting the number of reservations allowed because waiting 2 hours for service with a reservation is not acceptable.
