After a one-day-early birthday celebration with family on Sunday, my husband and I wanted a simple but pleasant meal on my actual Monday birthday. We were greeted and seated promptly. We enjoyed cocktails while Oscar cooked our flavorful meal. Our server was outstanding and checked on us frequently. A manager stopped by to inquire about our experience. Although we enjoyed the food, it was the great service we received that made our experience tonight at Benihana memorable.
