I've been to Benihana many times over the years with different family members and friends. It's consistently good. I had the filet and lobster and my husband had the chateaubriand and both were delicious. Our chef was engaging and entertaining. My only suggestion is that the restaurant work on ventilation a bit. It gets pretty smoky in there when more than 4 tables are going. Otherwise, we had a great experience!

Enjoyed the night the food was amazing and the service was outstanding as once we finished one of plates the next plate was already come over to the table. Highly recommended the pork belly.

There were 2 of us and we opted for the 4 course prix fixe with wine. The 4 courses were - Charred pork in lettuce wrap, Beef tartare, Roasted Branzino and Argentinian Steak . The dessert option is a little difficult for me to describe since I normally don't eat desserts but it was very tasty. Everything was delicious (my companion commented that the last time she tasted Branzino this well executed was in Rome, Italy so high praise indeed) and we decided that we would definitely be back for the 8 course offerings on Tuesdays! The "weakest link" was perhaps the Beef tartare which was a bit "mushy" and lacked definition. Typically this dish is served with chopped onions, capers et al with a quail's egg allowing a diner to "tailor" the taste to individual preferences. I personally prefer this "deconstructed" approach. Our server was very accomodative and was more than willing to switch out the wines accompanying the aforementioned courses. We will DEFINITELY be back!!!
