    I've been to Yoshi's many times, but this was my first time dining in the restaurant. The service was great. Our server, Robin, was outstanding. The food was great as well. I had the Kuro Ninniku Angus Ribeye, and my wife had the Cedar Plank Grilled Salmon. We also enjoyed the Snow Monkey Sushi Rolls. It was a great experience overall!

    Had an enjoyable valentine's day teppanyaki dinner. You get a "show" with the chef cooking the different meals. The kids who were in the restaurant seemed to also really like it.
