   Made a reservation at 6:45, arrived at 6:45, finally got Sat at 8 o’clock and didn’t have a chef until 9 o’clock and didn’t get out of there until around 10 o’clock. Not the best experience, and I spoke with the manager and he told me there was nothing he could do they Are just mismanaged currently.

   The cook never came to the station… we waited over an hour after being seated. Very poor experience overall.

   Once we were finally seated, our experience was much better as our server and our chef were great. And the food was good. Biggest bummer was the start of our evening. We had a reservation for 6 o’clock, we were on time and yet waited almost an hour to be seated. That’s not right. What’s the point of having a reservation? We had plans to go to a movie after dinner, which we had to cancel.

   Four of us ladies were celebrating the birthday of one of us. We had a 5:15 pm reservation but still had to wait until 5:45 pm. Once we were seated we had to wait for the staff to add a couple of more people. Luckily they put two more ladies with us and we all enjoyed meeting each other and having a fun dining experience. The entertainment of the table chefs is great for a first time experience, which in our case was the birthday girl. We all had different main courses and all meals were good. The salmon was outstanding with its avocado tarter sauce. We all enjoyed the hibachi grilled vegetables. We decided to order the full 6 courses and thoroughly enjoyed the soup, salad, veggies, entrees and dessert. This is not a restaurant I would frequent but on special occasions it's a fun dining experience for the young, old and in between.

    I’ve been coming to Benihana about 14+ years, The portions have become considerably smaller. And the prices tremendously expensive, Don’t think I will be able to fit next years visit in My Budget. Overall the Cook/Chef was Great, Hospitality was awesome. I celebrated My B’Day, and My Guest enjoyed their 1st visit there as well.
