Food was delicious and ample; server was attentive and gracious continually seeing if we wanted anything. After being seated and well after being served our soup and salad, another party (4) was seated at the same hibachi and we waited around an hour for the remainder of our meal, the only complaint. We were a party of eleven (11).

we were a party of 12 celebrating a birthday and we were disappointed that we were seated at a table with 5 other people when there were many empty hibachi tables available. In fact there was several tables that just had 2 people. not sure why we had to share ??

Everything was great. EXCEPT for our uncaring server. We felt as if we were ”inconveniencing “ her when this was her job. No customers=no job! Food was terrific. Chef was amazing and we would go back if they decided to remove this nasty waitress!
