    We love your restaurant. We had 730pm reservations. We were seated pretty close to that time. unfortunately we had to wait 40 minutes for a server to come to our table. We had a number of people stop to check on us and we told them we still hadn't been helped. It wasn't until the manager came by that we were finally able to get served but even that took and additional 15 minutes. Other than the long wait to be served we were happy with the meal and the chef. We come there come to 10 times a year and are usually very happy. We know many of the staff and they know us. It was busy but it was still unfortunate that this happened. I fully expect our next visit will be up to your usual high strandards.

    This has been the worst experience we’ve had. Not only did we wait for almost an hr for our chef to come out and start cooking for us. No communication between the waiter to us about the hour wait. It was very frustrating, and once the chef did come out, all he didn’t us was complain about how they were short and he was upset that his manager kept coming to check when he was coming out to cook for us. This is not professional at all, shows a lot about your character towards your job. I believe this set the mood for the whole night even more because our food was disgusting. My children were hungry and they could not eat their vegetables because they were burnt. They could not enjoy their chicken because it was so tough to chew, instead they spit it out. The rice was so smooshed together, and normally that is the best part of coming to Benihanas. Very disappointing and we will not return to this restaurant again. Management has changed, the chefs have changed, the facility seemed very dirty, it just never used to be this way. So sad that it is falling apart when it used to be a place everyone enjoyed and looked forward to eating at. Not anymore.

    Experience was good. Server and cook were both engaging and very pleasant. Food was decent but simple. Atmosphere was quite loud and difficult to talk across table. Food is not cheap but alcohol is extremely expensive.
