They now cram as many people into the limited space allowed, as possible. Not only adding to the noise level being equivalent to what I would compare to McDonald Playland. But not even allowing enough space for the chefs to move safely or space for their food carts, or nescisary equipment to be used in a manner that Benihana is known for the show of the meal. Once seated, people are unable to move again before the end of the meal, in some cases not even to allow leg room by pushing chairs from tale by a few inches. I was unable to access my jacket on the back of my chair for needed medication, or phone for pictures. The noise level did not allow me to hear my partner next to me for conversation, or any communication between other at the table. The chef was unable to be heard at all for questions for food prep, jokes, or any other communication of any kind. The calamari appetizer was so over cooked, it was worse then boot leather and I actually could not chew through it enough to swallow, and had to spit it out in my napkin. The salad was nothing but lettuce stems, and swimming in dressing to the point the people next to me thought it was soup and tried to eat it with their soup spoon. I had the all seafood dinner, which every item was so over cooked, I can honestly say I’ve had better in drive through. The hostess came and offered pictures, in which my date was excited. Only to receive a quick, impersonal one shot without warning, leaving my eyes closed and trying to adjust my dress, and my date still adjusting his chair. No offer for a second chance. When the chef was done, we were left less then 3 min before check was brought. The first couple had already left, after a less then adequate birthday dinner, thinking that the check came and they were being pushed out the door. When the hostess came back and said… “nobody wanted dessert? No?” When asked if options, replied “ice cream” then left.","rating":{"food":3,"service":3,"ambience":2,"value":3,"noise":"ENERGETIC","overall":3,"__typename":"ReviewRating"},"user":{"numOfApprovedReviews":1,"nickname":"Otineru","metro":{"metroId":212,"displayName":"Anchorage","__typename":"Metro"},"initials":"O","isVip":null,"isLoggedInUser":false,"profileColor":"MUSTARD","profilePhoto":{"photoBySize":null,"__typename":"PublicDinerProfilePhoto"},"__typename":"ReviewUser"},"helpfulness":{"up":0,"down":0,"score":0,"__typename":"ReviewHelpfulness"},"publicRestaurantReply":{"message":"Thanks for the review, Otineru.
