    We were seated immediately and ended up with a table to ourselves which was nice. It wasn't too crowded due to the time we picked for our visit. The server came over immediately and took our drink order and she was great. She took our food order and before we'd finished the salad our chef arrived and went over our food selection and then he put on quite a show which kept us entertained during the entire meal. The food was delicious, and we enjoyed our visit very much.

    We visited Benihana for our aunt’s 60th birthday. It was a great choice as the food and drinks were very good, and our waiter and teppan chef were fantastic! Tony, the chef, really put on the show and did a great job. Would definitely return.

    It’s hard to overcome finally being sat 55 minutes after our reservation, especially with teenagers that were hard to lock down in the first place. Full experience took 3 hours because each stage took so long. This was Sunday before Veterans Day, so not sure if it was mismanaged scheduling, or if they simply don’t have the staff. Hostess told me they were running a little behind and that it would take “15 minutes or so.” I checked 4 more times and each time it sounded like we were almost there. The food was good, but given the price and length of time everything took, I’m not sure I’ll be back again any time soon. Very disappointing because I specifically chose Benihana over Ah-So, which is much closer to our house.

    Restaurant was overbooked and short chefs so our 6:30pm reservation got us sat at 7 pm and chef arrived at our table at 8 pm. We didn’t leave until 9:30pm. Family with young children at our table had exhausted kids. Manager offered a discount but when checks came, no discount. We reminded our server who was just as tired of the stress of grumpy customers. We received our discount finally but as we walked out the mother of the kids was giving the manager an earful. Apparently they don’t do their own booking and OpenTable kept taking reservations. It was a mess.
