    Took our young daughters on a date night for Valentines Day. We had exceptional service by Cat and Chef Robert. They truly catered to the children and anticipated our needs as a family. The food is always delicious and we always leave full and with Togo boxes! We had excellent table mates for hibachi which is always a plus!

    Food was bland! No seasoning on anything. Do not get a lot of food for the price

    They have complimentary valet parking which was a plus. Service was extremely efficient and the food was great. I’d definitely recommend the scallops. They were the star of the show.

    We had a reservation for 7:30 but were not seated for over an hour. Given countless different excuses we were seated after they sat all the large parties. Our cook was very heavy handed with the seasoning. The veggies and meat were so salty that I couldn’t eat it.
