   Particolare , spettacolo dello chef che ti cucina davanti al tuo posto. Tavolo in condivisione con altri se sei un gruppo meno di 8 persone . Attesa troppo lunga visto la prenotazione (45 minuti)

   Experience was horrible. Hibachi chef barely tried. The waiter was great.

   Vitali was a wonderful server and Romeo provided an excellent Chef experience for us. Went for a celebration and they made it so special. The food was so flavorful and the attentiveness of Vitali, Romeo and the support staff was an A+. Definitely will go again. Thank you for the wonderful evening!

   Experience is always nice. The food was great. It's always lovely to see a chef with something new or know how to tell jokes. I go there 2-3 times a year. So great!

   At first the night started off good the waitress was very respectful but I can’t really say the same for the manager or the cook we specifically told the man there’s a shellfish and a mushroom allergy the guy comes out to confirm and still proceeded to cross contaminate the mushrooms with the food then the manager wasn’t to friendly and had no mannerism what so ever over all if you have a allergy don’t come here they’ll try and Lace you

   We did have to wait half an hour for our table even with our reservation. We understand one can’t guarantee immediate seating, but 30 minutes is poor management with a reserved table policy.
