    Great New Year’s dinner experience! The special menu was fairly priced and the food was very good! We had some great cocktails too. I especially liked the key lime pie! The server was beyond excellent! He went above & beyond in making sure we enjoyed everything and took some amazing pictures of us on the staircase.

    Altius never disappoints, from the popcorn when you first sit at the table to the brownie treat you are sent home with. The food, service and ambiance are always impeccable! We highly recommend if you have never been here that you make a point to try it. I guarantee you will not be disappointed.

    Our family loves Benihana for big holidays, and our latest time at the Green Tree location was for Christmas Eve. Our chef, Fernando, was excellent and the food was very flavorful and perfectly cooked. Our server was very attentive too. We enjoyed our family time there and will be back soon. (The homemade yum yum sauce is always a delight.)

    James was an exceptional server/bartender/Sommelier/hostess! He gave perfect recommendations to pair with our starters and meals. The Norwegian Halibut was amazing! The evening was extremely special celebrating our dad’s birthday. It was sweet and memorable to have two daddy daughter dates as well. Molly also was so sweet! We will definitely come back! Thank you and Happy Holidays!
