    Great steakhouse in the West End. Prices are low end of typical steakhouse prices but worth it. Flavor wise their chimichurri was phenomenal, better than Porzana's. The ribeye was perfectly prepared and delicious with or without the chimichurri. The asparagus was delicious as well, perfectly prepared and deliciously seasoned. Our server, Jada, was wonderful. Attentive but not overbearing.

    Benihana is pretty much the same as always. The restaurant is a little run down. Kinda sad. We’ve been going off and on for years. It’s been a while, 6 years I think. Food is the same. Some of it really good like the scallops. I wasn’t as crazy about the fried rice this time. Not sure what’s changed. The other 3 in our party liked it. Our chef/server was great. The other party at our table had two first-timers, ages 7 & 9 (guessing). They loved it. We took lots of food home. Basically Benihana lived up to our age old expectations.

    It was a lively and packed night at The Block - which was great! The highlight of the night was Keith. Before we got there Amilia says, "I hope we get Keith again tonight!" Well, it worked out that we did. He remembers our usuals and is great about making any changes we'd like. I added beer cheese to my burger and queso dip for my fries. I didn't even know we could do that. Thanks to Keith for the suggestions and advice! So many laughs, fun conversations, good music, and great people. Look forward to doing it again next week!

    Have eaten here several times and have never been disappointed. Met a good friend and thankfully were tucked in a back corner booth (quieter) and could enjoy our conversation. It is a little noisy when crowded, but not awful- and tables are placed a nice distance apart- unlike some restaurants where the tables are on top of each other. Resisted the bread pudding French toast today, but may need to go back soon to try that! Only disappointment was that they didn’t have their blueberry scones- the absolute best I’ve ever had!
