    They do not honor reservations on open table. We had a 45 minute wait even with a reservation and we were only two people.

    After making a reservation at 6 PM, we weren’t actually seated until 7:15 PM. By the time our food was served, it was 8 PM. It was the longest wait we have ever experienced after making a reservation ahead of time.  the server, forgot to bring our drink and our appetizer.

    With reservations, we waited less than 5 minutes. We were lucky to get Monalisa as our waitress as she was amazingly fast and helpful, and our Chef Luis was so fun and was joking around with everyone at the table, but especially with my son. It was a great experience that was significantly different than our experience on Valentines Day. This was a huge turn around from that and it was such a much nicer time. This was definitely the kind of experience we hope we will always get every visit.

    Dear Jennifer, Thank you for sharing such a wonderful experience! We’re thrilled to hear that Monalisa and Chef Luis made your visit special. Monalisa’s attentiveness and Luis’s engaging energy truly reflect the experience we strive to provide, and we’re so glad your son felt comfortable and enjoyed his time with them. It’s fantastic to know this visit turned around your previous experience, and we hope every visit exceeds your expectations moving forward. Your kind words mean a lot to our team, and we look forward to welcoming you back for more memorable meals! Best regards,

    We had a 630 reservation and we waited about 30 for the chef to come out. They didn’t informe the chef that their is a shellfish allergy so we had to tell him. It did take a while for the food to be cooked . The server was great but you can tell they where a lil overwhelmed.

    I really enjoyed my visit. Our server, Maddie, was lovely and made the experience very easy and answered all of our (numerous and probably stupid) questions with a smile. Our chef, Luis, was very talented and kept us laughing throughout the meal. The food was delicious.

    This was my girlfriend's first ever Benihana experience and it did not disappoint. Our chef Cristian made lots of miscues, but he recovered well so my girlfriend did not notice. I always enjoy a delicious meal at Benihana, thank you.

    Everyone should experience Benihana at least once in their lifetime. However, we keep coming back because we just love the food. I don't think I've ever been disappointed since my first meal at a Benihana restaurant in Atlanta, GA in 1975.
