While the food was amazing…we waited 1 hr and 20 min past our reservation time! Reservation was at 7:30, didn’t get seated till 8:50 almost 9pm. Need to manage reservations better. While I realize you can’t control cooking time and how fast people eat, it was frustrating to have to wait so long!

Our hibachi chef, Alex, was nothing short of amazing! His cooking skills were flawless, and he made the entire experience so much fun with his showmanship and humor. The food was cooked to perfection, and the flavors were incredible. You could tell that Alex put a lot of care into every dish, making our meal even more enjoyable. Our waiter, Sam, was equally fantastic. He was attentive, friendly, and ensured that we had everything we needed throughout our meal. His service was prompt, and he made sure we were always taken care of, which really elevated the whole experience. Both Alex and Sam went above and beyond to make our visit memorable, and we can’t wait to come back!

Had a great date with my hubby. The food was excellent and chef was hilarious and entertaining. Lobster tail was on the small side to charge $20 it was only a 3oz. I would have expected at least a 6oz for that price. Overall we had a great time. Can’t wait to go back soon.

After making a reservation at 6 PM, we weren’t actually seated until 7:15 PM. By the time our food was served, it was 8 PM. It was the longest wait we have ever experienced after making a reservation ahead of time. the server, forgot to bring our drink and our appetizer.
