   Our Chef was top tier. He was funny, energetic and very entertaining. We had to wait 40 minutes for our reservation, but, understanding as it was Christmas. The parking is limited when busy.

   When we were in the waiting area a lady very kindly came and asked us if you wanted cocktails and mistakenly we said yes. I had a mimosa. A small glass cost $20! That was kind of a rip off no question about it. Otherwise the food etc. was good but for such a hyped up place we thought it was nothing extraordinary. Our chef Derek and our service lady were both excellent.

   While it’s always a great experience, this year topped them all! Our waitress Maria and cook Cedric were OUTSTANDING with the dietary restrictions of some of those in our party! They both went above and beyond to ensure no cross contamination occurred and verified all ingredients to make sure they were safe. They met the requests with a smile and without a second thought. Thank you! Furthermore, upon arrival, the hostess team took a memory photo of our party, printed it out, and put it in a little frame with the matter of a few minutes. Such a sweet little Christmas Eve 2024 memory! So glad this is part of my little family’s Christmas traditions and looking forward to our next visit!

   Great food as always. We were able to celebrate 3 birthday dinner certificates at our table(3checks) without any difficulty. Enjoyed the savings and spent the extra money on the great drinks! Merry Christmas.

   We had a reservation set for 6:30 pm. Got there on time, but had to wait over 20 mins to get seated as they were trying to figure out what other guests to sit at our table. Once we sat down we had to wait again for the chef, our chef got to our table closer to 7:40 at that point is when the cooking and show started.

    Terrible experience! The whole place was dirty filthy! Our server looked like she hadn’t took a bath in days and has soars all over her. Were there for over an hour before the chef came out. 2 tables that got seated way after us were eating before our chef came out. The chef then gave veggies and shrimp to everyone at the table, yet I had to order and pay for ours. First time visitor and will NEVER go back. Manager atleast took a $15 appetizer off my check. But was still over $250 for us to eat. Kobes will for sure be the only place I go!
