   Our cook was excellent and the food was great. Our server sadly wasn’t very focused or attentive.

   My experience at Benihana was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we were seated, Angel, our server, provided attentive and gracious service, ensuring every detail was thoughtfully attended to. Welton, our Benihana chef, truly elevated the evening—not only with his remarkable culinary skills, but also with his hilarious and engaging personality that kept everyone entertained. The food was exquisite, the drinks were expertly crafted, and the atmosphere was vibrant yet refined. The restaurant was impeccably clean, creating a welcoming and polished environment. I highly recommend Benihana for an unforgettable dining experience.

   Our reservation was for 11:30 am but we did not get much service from Jenna. She got our drinks and food order. She seemed very disoriented and took a long time to get salads and soup which did not come out until 12:20 pm. She was gone for long periods of time and I had to ask the front desk when we were going to get served. Our chef was good and the food was good. We were seated right near the swinging door to the kitchen which was very distracting. Make a reservation elsewhere. Also be careful of any reviews; Jenna asked us at the table to give her and the Chef a 5 star review in order to get $10.00 off per guest on our bill. Not only is this rude but she did not deserve a five star review. My daughter was the only one to do a review on her phone at the table. Jenna proceeded to give the $10.00 discount to the wrong bill. The rest of my party elected not to do a review even though we could have receive another $40.00 off. Tacky and false reviews.

   While I am generally sympathetic to people learning a new job, that sympathy does not extend to dining experiences that charge $40-50 per plate. The chef was clearly not qualified to work the Teppan table. And I could’ve looked past that if the food were cooked properly. But it wasn’t. My medium rare strip was hammered, beyond well done. My friends and I were celebrating, and it sort of ruined the fun. Trust me, you can do better for hibachi.

   My experience at Benihana is always good. The noise level was a bit too much for me this go round. I found myself jumping when the chefs were doing their thing with the spatulas. It made hearing the chef hard. If you have children that are noise sensitive, I would not suggest bringing them the Benihana other than that, the food was great and the atmosphere was awesome. I was disappointed that I did not get a birthday serenade.

    Food was great. A bit expensive. Greeters were bored leaning on table up front and on their cells. The servers were good. Funny and attentive
