We understand it was Father’s Day but they were overbooked. We had reservations for 12:45, didn’t get seated until 45 minutes after and then waited 1.5 hours for a chef to come to our table. Manager apologized but overall the whole experience took 4 hours and most of our day was gone to go do our other plans. The portions have also gotten extremely small. We usually always have food leftover but not with the tiny portions we received. Also, I know they usually cook everything one at a time but even the vegetables were cooked one at a time so it was hard to enjoy the meal that way, other food would have been ice cold so had to eat everything one by one.

My experience today at Bennihana was disappointing. I surprised my cousin with special needs for her birthday dinner to Bennihanas thinking, at the end she would be sung happy birthday to, Instead we got rushed off and just served ice cream and the people and management didn't care. Just 😢. I even put it was a birthday celebration on my reservations and still nothing.

Got there on time, waited over an hour to get seated, then waited another 45mins for the chef to show up. Food was good, but it is way over priced for what you get. Will mot be going back, plenty of other options in the area.

Probably just an off day, but service was a little rough after the initial engagement. The chef also flung rice on me and three other guest unintentionally. Although it was funny, definitely not a great first impression for my wife to experience. Either way it was an ok experience, just not the typical experience for what I’m paying for.

We had to wait over half an hour beyond our reservation time because they had overbooked themselves and were behind at seating parties. After being seated we continued to wait to get served. It was overall very slow. Our reservation was at 8:45, we didn’t get seated till 9:20. Then the chef didn’t come to our table until 10:30! We sat there waiting hungry for over an hour. Then the food was way too salty and we had to ask him to put less salt. Even then it was still salty. Overall a bad experience.

Apparently they have a policy corporate policy where they double book the reservations. I had a 6:30 reservation and had to wait an hour. Maybe don’t double book around an occasion like Mother’s Day or charge a fee up front so people will have incentive to cancel if they don’t show up.

Service was slow, food was mediocre. Quality went down since the last time I’ve dined there. The chef was entertaining hence the extra star from a 2 to 3
