We spent our Thanksgiving at Benihana. I was surprised at the amount of people that were there. Our chef was excellent. I am a pescatarian. He made sure not to cross contaminate my food with beef, chicken or pork. Everything was excellent.

We got there before our reservation & was seated after everyone in our party of 6 arrived. Everything from appetizers to main courses & desserts were super delicious. Our guests from out of town were not disappointed. They were glad to experience Bestia. It lived out to the great reviews.

It was our first time there, and it will not be our last. The food was phenomenal. The handmade pasta was superb. Excellent cocktails, too. Our server, Jonte, was gregarious and so engaging. Can't wait to go back, and also to take the pasta making class!
