Another outstanding experience! Only regret is not getting the hanger steak although the trout was very good.

Had Teppanyaki reservation and had to wait a few minutes for table. Done on small table with only 4 so no view but Chef did a great job once he was able to get us. Service overall was slow and salads didn't arrive until with dinner due to a kitchen issue. Overall experience was still good and food tasted great as always. Just not overall up to normal standards for the place on this Saturday night.
