My fave spot and my son’s fave spot! He wanted to go for his bday dinner and this place never disappoints. Food and the show the chefs put on is like none other! My son was amazed by the treatment he got for his bday bu the wonderful staff and that is why we are always excited to dine here and will continue to dine here! Thank you to everyone there for making my son’s day extra special!

Dined here at 7:45pm on the Sunday of Valentine's Day weekend. Not too busy and loud. My fiancé and I came here as a belated Vday dinner. The restaurant has a warm and moody ambiance. Perfect for a date night. Feels upscale but not pretentious. Our server, Larry (Lawrence) was amazing. He was charismatic and accommodating. I ordered a Metropolitan, which is an alcohol free drink. I was impressed by the flavor. My partner ordered a Black Orchid per our server's recommendation. We had a half dozen oysters, Boston clam chowder, lobster fra diavolo, scallop "coquilles Saint-Jacques", blue crab and cheddar potatoes, and a stone crab claw. Y'all, the food here is excellent!! After every dish we ate, we both couldn't stop raving about the quality and preparation of the seafood. The clam chowder may be the best I've ever had. It's thick with what felt like clam in every bite. The oysters were on the smaller side and had no briney taste whatsoever. They tasted fresh and clean. The scallops were incredible. They were rested in the cheesy mushroom sauce, surrounded by the whipped potato. The texture of each scallop was remarkable. Perfectly tender with a crispy and crunchy crust on top. My fiancé's lobster gnocchi was delicious. The pieces of lobster plus the amount they give is worth every dollar. We wanted to try the octopus, but they were unfortunately sold out. Guess we have to come back. 😆 On top of the amazing food, Larry shared stories about Joe Muer's history surrounding the food. Felt like just more than eating at a restaurant. This was an experience all around. I cannot recommend Joe Muer in Bloomfield enough. If you are looking for an approachable high end seafood restaurant for your next date or gathering, look no further. They don't skimp on their portion sizes.

My experience at Benihana‘s on Valentine’s Day was outstanding. The food and service were great, but there was a severe parking problem. To be honest, there was no available parking slots around the restaurant. I’m not sure what they could’ve done to alleviate the problem? The only other issue was, it was difficult to understand the chef, there appeared to be a slight language problem. Overall, I was very satisfied and enjoyed the evening.

First the restaurant is very esthetically beautiful. 2nd, our server (John) was fantastic and attentive. 3rd. The food is always great!
