Delicious and fresh food and our chef really took care to make sure our orders were correct. The issues we had with our visit to Benihana came from the service overall. We had a 7:30 reservation but weren’t sat till about 7:55 from how backed up they were. Then once we sat, our service was especially slow since the waiter was being trained due to being new. I totally understand having to be trained but that should be done on a night that isn’t so busy the way Fridays and Saturdays

This is where we are placed with Benard who had us sitting 25 minutes with no water. Our soup and salad came once Le the chef came to start cooking. (By the way Le was amazing and his personality was awesome. Benard went to fetch us forks that were swimming in water on his tray with old rice. He never came to refill our glasses and gave us attitude when we asked. He instructed another young man to refill. Instead of bringing the pitcher of water out he took our glasses together, refilled them and brought them out. No one knew which glass was their glass.
