Went there and did not get seated until after 7:45. People were there waiting at least an hour. We would have went to another restaurant if it wasn’t Mother’s Day and most restaurants were full. I overheard a table telling the chef that the restaurant employee told them open table has over booked the restaurant and open table does not allow Benihana to stop the reservations from coming in, this I know for a fact is a lie. Why lie to your customers? Just apologize because it’s obvious the business overbooked. After hearing from the people at our table, this is apparently the norm to have reservations and have customers wait at Benihana. We haven’t been there in year or so, but within the year the place has became so dirty and my shoes stuck to the floor. Food wasn’t as great! The steak had so many tendons. We did not get done with dinner until close to 10pm!","__typename":"ReviewSearchResult"}],"__typename":"ReviewSearchResults"},"photos":{"galleryV3":{"photos":[{"title":"Steak And Lobster

Both clearly being stretched thin by the amount of customers.\n\nMy 1 star rating is for the management team that allowed overbooking.\n\nReservation for 1 PM. Not seated until 2 PM. So busy and understaffed that we didn't get drinks until 2:30. No starters (salads/soups) until 3. Chef didn't get to the table until 3:30. Food for group finally plated by 4.\n\nAbsolutely no reason beyond greed that an established restaurant like Benihana can't coordinate reservations better than this.\n\nMight stop in for lunch on a day they aren't busy.
