   The server wrote incorrect orders for one person in my group and another person seated at the same table. The chef was mediocre. He took a while figuring out what to cook and then more time figuring out who to serve it to. He also messed up by serving colossal shrimp to the wrong person. Luckily the two people were together so he was able to switch the food from the wrong plate to the correct person’s plate.My food was cold by the time he finished making my scallops. I noticed the other chefs were a little more entertaining as well. This was not a good hibachi experience for my family and I

   I've been to other hibachi restaurants and they're lively. It was nice though and my son enjoyed his birthday dinner.

   Our server for the very first time since dining for years was very inattentive. We weren’t provided a group picture despite letting her know it was a birthday. We had to wait long period of times in between each request. Once payment was received (while still eating) she never came back to the table. Was not a good experience for my mother birthday at all. Disappointed Our cook was hands on great
