Had an amazing experience at Nobu trying the Holiday Omakase menu. My wife and I went for our anniversary and were thoroughly impressed by the attentive service, professional staff, and most of all the outstanding meal. Each course was delivered in a very timely fashion, as we never felt rushed yet never waited on the next course. Cocktails were promptly prepared as ordered, and our water glasses were always topped off. The dinner was well prepared and no course was lacking. At the end, they were thoughtful enough to include a “Happy Anniversary” message on our dessert plate. Overall, I was impressed by and grateful for the entire course of service. Will certainly return.

Incredible 5 course meal experience. Our server was very knowledgeable on the menu and offered excellent choices for drinks to pair well with the dishes. This was my first visit and I’ll definitely return! 10/10

My family and I had reservations at 6:30pm the day before Christmas Eve. It was crowded and they were running behind. The hostess (Tiffany) was calm, professional and helpful even though many customers were asking her questions constantly. She was even bussing tables. We had another table of relatives (celebrating my birthday) and she was able to get us near each other. Which she didn't have to do. Once we were seated, our chef Chris was outstanding. He was funny, entertaining and the food was outstanding. Our wait staff was also wonderful but I've forgotten their names. My family and I will definitely return to Benihana's.

Service was spectacular! Also the seasonal menu is so well executed. The food comes out exactly as described in the menu and tastes great. I really have no complaints other than, if you’re trying to catch up with friends it’s a tad bit noisy for table conversation.

Great service and amazing ambiance. They were so accommodating of allergies and the server, Kieran, was wonderful and knowledgeable of the menu. We loved it and can’t wait to return.
