    We've eaten at Benihana a number of times over the years but this was the best visit of all. We were seated within just a couple of minutes after arriving. The server immediately came by, introduced herself and took our food and drink order. We were there for my wife's birthday and she acknowledged that. It was just a few more minutes before Justin, the chef arrived started the cooking process. Over the years I've come to expect a lot of the "entertainment" that with comes with the preparation of the food but Justin had some new ideas as well as the old ones. He was able to carry on an interesting conversation with everyone at the table while cooking the food. He interacted very well with everyone. The food was cooked to perfection and wonderfully seasoned, making the dinner very enjoyable. As usual, we had a lot left over to take home which gives us the chance to enjoy the dinner even more over the next few days. All in all, a great dinner.

    We've been here many times over the years and while today was still very good, I didn't give it an "outstanding" rating for a couple reasons. Our chef was very kind and did a great job with the exception of using more salt than normal. Everything seemed extra salty today, including the soup. My steak was still delicious, tender and perfectly cooked. We did have an early reservation and it was helpful in getting a quick turn-around time. We were paid and out of there in under 1.5 hours, which isn't always the norm. Service was quick this evening with the earlier timeframe. We had to get kids to sports later, so it was to our benefit. All the staff was very friendly and helpful. We will definitely be back, as it is one of our favorite places for special occasions.

    The server we had was openly rude and disrespectful. Her attitude made it clear my presence was an annoyance. She didn’t bring out the desserts that came with the meal. I was quite shocked that a restaurant would employ servers who treat guests poorly.

    Terrible experience, sat at the table for over an hour waiting on our chef. Server did not address the wait until almost 1.5 hours of waiting at the table. I know this is not the wait staff or chefs fault, the fault lies directly with the management and corporate, over booking and not caring about the customer experience. The entire staff just look beat down and defeated, I assumed that was because they have to deal with this every single night based on the reviews I read while I sat at my table for over an hour. Food was salty and buttery so of course it tasted alright, but not worth the price. When the chef did arrive it felt rushed, as I’m sure there were others waiting over an hour. I will not be back to this location, probably will never go to Benihana again. Oh and the smell of the bathroom, along with the bloody paper towel on the urinal was a great touch. For a restaurant who charges $50 an entree, it felt more like Waffle House, no disrespect to Waffle House.
