   Service was wonderful, we had a really great server named Mo who went above and beyond. Our chef was good this time (the chef seems to be hit or miss). The one thing that bothers me every time we go is how filthy this restaurant is. The floors are slippery from grease. The menus are filthy and really need a good wipe down. They probably need to gut renovate this place

   I was disappointed. I liked it before they remodeled it. The wait was long before the chef came to the table. It wasn’t as entertaining as it used t be. The staff were nice. Food was still good.

   I went to Benihana with my boyfriend yesterday (11/5) after receiving an email inviting me to try the happy hour. When we asked the server (who we couldn't tell whether was a man or woman) for the happy hour menu, they gave us a negative look and seemed annoyed. Given this, we decided to order a regular dish instead of something from the happy hour menu, and their attitude completely changed. This shouldn't be the case, as customer service is important. On the positive side, the food was excellent, as always. My only suggestion would be to play some soft music outside, as it was completely quiet out there.

    Chef and service were wonderful. Food was tasty. I understand it’s the way they maximize their tables but it’s a bit awkward to dine with another family especially with spending as much as it costs.
