I was so pleasantly surprised at the quality of food and service! The establishment is so old that I thought it would be equivalent to the old spaghetti factory, smelly, old with quality being something lost 20 years ago. The food was great and I was shocked how busy it was on a Sunday night. We were at the Teppanyaki table and it was entertaining along with delicious and a tremendous amount of food!
