- DDeniseOrange County •1 review5.0Dined 1 day agoWe had a wonderful waitress and cook. Delicious food and variety! Our big complaint - we had a 7:15 reservation and were seated at 7:45, we were served soup and salad quickly- 8:00-8:15. But the cook did not make it to our teppanyaki table until 10:00pm. If we had known we would be eating at 10pm on a 7:15 reservation we would not have seated. Tables seated after us had a cook before us. They kept promising us that the cook was coming, and then other tables would get a cook, but not us.  the discrepancy was never explained. We were given a free appetizer of edamame while we waited. It was Thanksgiving, so it was very crowded at the restaurant. Still we would go back on a non-Holiday because when we did get service, it was great and the food was delicious.More infoBenihana - San Diego, CAPrice: Moderate• Japanese• Mission Valley•4.1
- DDanaSan Diego •8 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoOUTstanding from start to finish! The decor and ambiance made me so darn happy. It was a golden, gaudy, Christmas explosion and I loved every second of it. Drinks were great and food was incredible. Our server Tommy (I think) was attentive and helpful. We got the Caesar salad, the house salad, the roasted chicken and the short rib. The Caesar salad and short rib were our favorites. We waited a long time to finally make it in but we’ll be back in the spring for a new round of decorations. It’s just so good.More infoinsideOUTPrice: Expensive• Californian• Hillcrest•4.7
- GGaryLos Angeles •6 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoWe ended up sitting at the bar by choice since there was a game on that we wanted to see. Dining room looked nice but we didn’t really see it too closely. The bar was nice. High end decor. Friendly servers. A little pricey for a restaurant attached to a mall but it did back up the prices with quality.More infoThe Amalfi Llama - San DiegoPrice: Moderate• Steakhouse• University City/Golden Triangle•4.4

- JJessicaSan Francisco Bay Area •2 reviews5.0Dined 7 days agoThe ambiance here is so unique and beautiful! Airy, romantic, stylish and peaceful. And they let us bring our puppy. The food is simple but tasty and the value is one of the best in the city! We have been many times and will continue to come for brunch OR dinner! Today I loved the chai latte and white bean shakshuka. I always bring out of town guests to show it off.More infoMadisonPrice: Expensive• Mediterranean• University Heights•4.5
