    Unfortunately we sat at the table right in front as you enter the dinning rooms. Very noisy from kitchen and everyone coming and going.

    Our experience started our poorly. After waiting for our table we were walked over to a table shared with a fluffy dog in a stroller placed right next to the food prep grill and it’s owners. I asked the server is this allowed a dog at the table? She said I will ask my manager after I said I’m not comfortable with this. They did not ask us we were on a date and did not bring our dogs or our children. The manager said I understand you can wait for another table but we cannot ask if it is a service dog. There was also a large bull dog by the bar which was barking. Food was great but overall not great customer service for an expensive restaurant.

    Management of reservations need work. We waited an hour after our reservation for a party of 2. Staff were overwhelmed and unapologetic. Bar was crowded and sticky. It was very loud. So many better options out there to spend that kind of money.

    Fun party atmosphere, Our chef was great and entertaining. Problems encountered were with the table hostess. She was trying to juggle too many things and forgot a couple of drinks and appetizers even after SEVERAL reminders. Some items were never delivered at all so we were delayed while our checks were modified.

    Food- chicken fried rice had no chicken and very small portions of beef, chicken and shrimp on entree. Sushi roll had very little salmon but plenty of rice. Ambiance- decor of dining room hasn’t changed in many years. Service- a bit confusing to the new waitress as she seemed to be learning on the fly .waitress was very courteous.

    Tasty food, nice genuine chef, professional service. The prices have become nearly prohibitive. I have been going to Benihana for close to 30 years but prices this time were definitely too steep. The patrons to our right had the same complaint. Some parties were obnoxiously loud (not in a celebratory way). It might be, sadly, my last time in Benihana
