   I think that this establishment has really taken a step back in value for the price. Drinks, portions very small and prices very high. We’ve been going for years and probably will not return. Our chef wasn’t really into the experience and went through the motions.

   Cook didn’t have enough food for everyone’s appetizer. I ended up giving my daughter some of mine. He seemed to not care.

   The server wrote incorrect orders for one person in my group and another person seated at the same table. The chef was mediocre. He took a while figuring out what to cook and then more time figuring out who to serve it to. He also messed up by serving colossal shrimp to the wrong person. Luckily the two people were together so he was able to switch the food from the wrong plate to the correct person’s plate.My food was cold by the time he finished making my scallops. I noticed the other chefs were a little more entertaining as well. This was not a good hibachi experience for my family and I
