   Our host was kind. She did bring our dirty forks which was a bad look but her great service made up for it. She also made a mistake with the bill and charged us for someone else’s meal but she did apologize. She took our pictures at the end.

   New owners, they nickel and dime you now. Service was totally off, they forgot things and the food was undercooked.

   I was celebrating my 68 year old mother's birthday and requested not to be seated with children when I made the reservations. They sat us next to a table with twins then sat a family with a son and daughter at our table. Both kids had their own tablets playing loud.

   Service was awful. Waitress did not understand what we were asking for. She rarely came by to refill drinks. We were served our first course and we didn’t even have napkins or utensils. We were the only table in the place. It took over 40 minutes for the waitress to take our order. She even forgot about our birthday celebration, it was ridiculous.

   This will be my last time going to Benihana. First they try to make you get the most expensive dish, the entertaining was so bad, they didn’t do nothing, just the fire at the beginning and nothing else. At the end they were trying for us to give more tip than what is recommended in the bill and preferred in cash. I felt pressured at all time.

   They need more staff. Staff is friendly but service is too slow.

   Our Chef, Will, was energetic, friendly and entertaining. He made our dining experience memorable. He went out of his way, to cater for our young toddler. Our Server went out of her way, to make sure, we had plenty of Tea, utensils, napkins, throughout the meal. She too, made our dining experience, enjoyable without any worries. Thank you for great dinner.
