    Beautiful ambiance. Food was good and service was lovely. Not quite worth the money for wine and food. Would only go back for a cocktail purely for the ambiance.

    The Benihana experience is always great! We had a private room which was fantastic so we could hear each other talk as well as enjoy the Hibachi Chef. Our nephew had so much fun watching the Chef do all the tricks. This is the original Benihana restaurant so the prices are suitable and all the courses were delicious. I personally had the sirloin steak and shrimp which were juicy and delicious.

    Food was wonderful. Server not quite attentive as we would have liked. Had to wait a decent amount of time between appetizers and main as well as getting the check. Overall, highly recommend for good seafood. The pumpkin cake was one of the most delicious things I have ever eaten.

    All around wonderful experience. We had a reservation at 8:00 but found our schedule changed a bit and we hoped to eat earlier. We stopped by the restaurant at 6:30 to see if they could seat us sooner, and they prepared a table for us right away. At the same time, I heard another guest ask the host how soon they could be seated without a reservation, and she was told the wait was 90 minutes! We felt like VIPs! The service, the food, and the ambience were all incredible. Our water glasses were never empty. Our food was delivered in the ideal time. Everything was delicious. We love the family-style menu that let all of us share and taste several entrees. The Caesar salad was one of the best I’ve had. We look forward to returning!

    BONDST was one of the most incredible meals I've ever had. I had two of the Shishito Pepper Margaritas which had the perfect spice level. They were so good. I split with my daughter the Wagyu Carpaccio, Toro Tartare with Caviar, Seared Salmon sushi roll, Spicy Tuna sushi roll, Tuna Tarts, Spicy Shrimp, and the Hot Scallop dish. Seriously incredible. Found out the next day that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce were eating there at the same time too!!! Such a cool spot. The vibes were immaculate and the food was absolutely incredible.
