    Our brunch experience was very enjoyable. Everyone enjoyed what was ordered including the Shashuka, the Brioche French toast with berries, to which I added eggs, bacon and their crispy potatoes, and lastly the Basic Breakfast! We really liked being able to bring our dog and sitting on the patio.

    My family and I had reservations at 6:30pm the day before Christmas Eve. It was crowded and they were running behind. The hostess (Tiffany) was calm, professional and helpful even though many customers were asking her questions constantly. She was even bussing tables. We had another table of relatives (celebrating my birthday) and she was able to get us near each other. Which she didn't have to do. Once we were seated, our chef Chris was outstanding. He was funny, entertaining and the food was outstanding. Our wait staff was also wonderful but I've forgotten their names. My family and I will definitely return to Benihana's.
