    We went to celebrate a couple of birthdays on a saturday night. I had made the reservation over a month in advance. We did have a large group of 13 people so we knew we would need 2 tables. My reservation was for 6pm. We were not seated until almost 7 and the bar was so understaffed that they could barely keep up with the tickets let alone accommodate reservation wait overflow. Once seated (next to the bathrooms) we were greeted by our 2 servers (1 for each table). Our servers were very obviously frazzled. They had tables all over and seemed to have more tables than they should be handling. Our drinks were delayed time and again and one of our tables never received their salads until the hibachi chef came out. The chefs were great, as always, but the place needed about 3-4 more servers for the # of reservations they had. I felt so bad for them as they were obviously understaffed. We will not be coming back to this location, a good time was not had despite the food being phenomenal. That's not enough for repeat. I've worked in the service industry for years. This is a corporate problem not a people problem, stop claiming no one wants to work when this is the conditions under which you want them to work that create these types of reviews. I would have walked out if this was my job. Hire more servers, pay them a living wage and not change + tip. Unreal.

    Dear Stacey, We sincerely apologize for the experience you had during your birthday celebration. While we’re glad you enjoyed the food and appreciated the effort of our hardworking team, we recognize that an evening out is about the entire experience—not just the meal. Your feedback is truly valuable, and we hear your concerns loud and clear. We will be sharing this with our management team to address staffing and operational improvements. We appreciate your honesty and regret that we didn’t provide the level of service that would make you want to return. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience.

    they make reservations to not honor them, waited almost 3 hours with small children never told us they did not have enough staff, place was dirty, we did not get to eat after 3 hours no one came to our table after that long wait. one thing is being short staff another is not being honest with customer about services and have people waiting with small children knowing you don't have the staff to serve them is disgustingly wrong.

    We had a 6 pm reservation and they didn’t seat us until well after, taking walk-ins before us. After being seated, we didn’t get our drinks from the bar until almost 75-90 minutes later and we had already eaten our appetizer, soup and salad (apparently they claimed they had a new bartender). Things picked up when the hibachi chef eventually came. Food was good, and our group was entertained.

    I’ll echo what others have said. Why allow reservations if you’re not going to honor the time. We had a 7p reservation, got seated at 8p. Once seated the waiter took order and served the soup and salad fairly quickly then we waited again. After waiting about an hour the chef showed up. He was entertaining and the food was decent. One person in our party ordered sushi, they obviously forgot about it because she was done with her meal when it finally arrived. We ate fairly quickly and waited about 30 mins for our check to arrive and then another 20 mins for server to come back so we could pay and leave. The place is dirty, the ventilation isn’t working properly and obviously very understaffed.

    The chef was outstanding. The service was poor, I made a reservation for 7pm and didn’t get seated until 8:30pm. The waiter took our order and forgot everything. We had to continue calling him and asking him about the items we ordered. I would never go back. Worst experience ever for a supposed to be high end restaurant
