We had a wonderful dining experience at Bacio. The waiter was the key to a very enjoyable evening. Even though the noise level was high, we had a great table for conversation.

Benihana is pretty much the same as always. The restaurant is a little run down. Kinda sad. We’ve been going off and on for years. It’s been a while, 6 years I think. Food is the same. Some of it really good like the scallops. I wasn’t as crazy about the fried rice this time. Not sure what’s changed. The other 3 in our party liked it. Our chef/server was great. The other party at our table had two first-timers, ages 7 & 9 (guessing). They loved it. We took lots of food home. Basically Benihana lived up to our age old expectations.

Have eaten here several times and have never been disappointed. Met a good friend and thankfully were tucked in a back corner booth (quieter) and could enjoy our conversation. It is a little noisy when crowded, but not awful- and tables are placed a nice distance apart- unlike some restaurants where the tables are on top of each other. Resisted the bread pudding French toast today, but may need to go back soon to try that! Only disappointment was that they didn’t have their blueberry scones- the absolute best I’ve ever had!
