   The show our Chef Anders put on was incredible. The kids were in awe and he definitely kept them entertained. We came on Christmas so even with a reservation we weren’t seated until about an hour later. That’s how busy it was. They have a surprising amount of seating at this location though. I’m sure that wouldn’t be an issue on a normal day. Food was of course fresh and delicious! We really enjoyed our Family Christmas outing

   Wonderful food. Every bite was delicious. I super appreciate they keep the menu consistent with just a few new items over time. The only thing that marred our evening was the WAIT. We were not seated until 7:20 for a 6:30 reservation. Our entire party was assembled and waiting by 6:20 so they can't use that as an excuse.

   The chef didn’t seem to know what he was doing, cooked everything in the wrong order, didn’t do the volcano/train onion thing for my 2 year old niece. Gave us shrimp last. The rice was undercooked. The staff was too busy didn’t refill drinks, ask us if we needed anything, asked us who was paying the check but didn’t ask if we wanted desert. Will never go here for Christmas Eve again. He didn’t know that half the burners were off and how to turn them on. Gave my mom her chicken before any rice or vegetables and didn’t put on any seasoning or flavor just straight chicken.

   Food and preparation show by chef was very good. Once our order was taken we didn’t see the waitress again until after dinner. We had dirty dishes and empty bottles and cans on our table and no one ever came by to take them away. Last year they gave the kids tall Benihana hats. They stopped doing that. It’s not as much fun as it used to be. And the service is not as good as it used to be.
