   Great service ! Super friendly and always on time ! No looking for a waiter - great lunch special 4 course meal in lounge for $39! It was awesome! Not too crowded but we arrived just before noon rush for lunch. We will definitely be back.

   Overall the experience is good but what stopped it from being great is the waiting to be seated and then to be served. Had reservations at 6:30: got seated at 7:10. Didn’t had food on my plate until 7:55. 90 minutes total was wasted waiting

   Our reservations were make for 6:30 and didn’t get seated till after 7:00. Once we were seated the cook didn’t start cooking our food till 8:00. The food did not taste as good as prior visit to Benihana. Service was below average. Not a good overall experience.

   Our server and waiters were outstanding. We had a great time celebrating our son’s 16th birthday. The only gripe I had was with the portion sizes. For the price we shouldn’t be leaving hungry. Otherwise it was a great dinner experience.
