I loved it :)3/23/2013 12:00:00 AMWe were lucky to have theWe were lucky to have the most skilled and funniest chefs at our table--Mike ("Mikado was named after him."). The food was amazing, especially the shrimp. The only small issue was that it took the bar staff too long to transfer the drinks we started in the bar while waiting to be seated for dinner to the table we were seated at.3/23/2013 12:00:00 AMDinner and a Show!This place is a real gem for anyone visiting the Palm Desert area -- especially with kids! It's a Japanese restaurant with the "Benihana" style teppan tables ... so a show comes free with dinner. The chefs have a great sense of humor and keep things lively. There is a beautiful koi garden to walk around in if the kids get restless ... and also a boat ride between the lobby and the restaurant to make things interesting and fun on the way to and from dinner. The teppan dishes are a bit on the pricey side, but well worth it! While not fancy, the food is tasty, relatively healthy, and high quality.3/16/2013 12:00:00 AMDelicious & Entertaining!!!If you are looking to have a great meal that is entertaining as well as delicious, I would highly recommend this restaurant. We took the boat over to the restaurant which was a treat and the atmosphere and grounds are beautiful. The food was excellent, the servers were attentive and the chef made my daughter's 21st birthday a very memorable one. He was quick witted, fun, creative, and literally made her evening. He had her take her chair and move it 30'-40' away from where he was cooking, had her sit down and proceeded to toss a piece of shrimp through the air for her to catch in her mouth. She did it and the restaurant exploded with applause.3/16/2013 12:00:00 AM
