   Although we booked a reservation we still had to wait another 20 minutes. Food was super greasy and laden with butter and soy sauce. “Japanese noodles” was actually linguini!! Noise level was almost unbearable.

   We absolutely love this restaurant. The food was terrible. Rice was burnt Potatoes were hard not fully cooked Steak was not cut correctly so without a knife it was very challenging to eat. Very disappointed for almost $400

   The atmosphere is great. Felt food is really overpriced. I'm pretty sure we got sirloin instead of filet. Do not like that 18% gratuity is included automatically. I hope the chief got some if that. We never saw a server during our meal until end. Had to go get our own drinks. We still enjoyed the experience. It could have been better....

   You’ll never leave Kobé hungry! The staff are incredibly courteous and friendly, making the dining experience even better. The sushi is bursting with great flavor, and I personally appreciate that most rolls don’t include cream cheese. For me, cream cheese doesn’t feel true to traditional Japanese-style sushi, so this was a refreshing touch.

   Party of 11 to celebrate family birthday. First the best part was Shaun (bartender) he went above and beyond. Biggest disappointment was the Kobe chef. Specifically brought my two yr old grandson so he could see the show. There basically was no show, the chef was not interactive or even showed an interest in entertaining. We did get to watch the other tables but very disappointing

   Another fun night at the Kobe. We requested & got our preferred chef, and he did very well. Did his routine even though we were all much older adults, and had a decent preparation of the food. Not his all-time best, but still a solid 4.5/5 rating. Portions all around were plenty.
