    Our cook was fantastic and the food was good. My steak and shrimp were cooked to perfection! My biggest issue of the evening was with the hostess. We made reservations and after arriving at the restaurant we were not sat for 45 minutes. I was confused the point of a reservation. It seemed they “forgot” about us (party of 2) as people who arrived well after us were sat. It wasn’t until we brought this to their attention they finally sat us. Additionally, my husband ordered a beer that was warm and ended up not even drinking it because of the temperature. I’m thankful our amazing cook made up for it and made it a good experience.

    Making a reservation does not guarantee you will be seated on time or that you will be seated in the right area. We waited over an hour just to be told they were out of half of the food we wanted before we finally left.

    Understanding it was Valentine’s Day… Service was lacking. We were brought to our hibachi table and not one person acknowledged a table of eight for over 30 minutes. I had to get up until the hostess that no one had come our way… And when we got a waitress, she did not seem enthused to be there.. We had to ask for water to be refilled. The restaurant was less than clean. But the food was really good
