Great atmosphere and fun! I hadn’t been to a Benihana in a long time and we were in the area so took the opportunity to revisit. Food was tasty! Our chef was quieter but very attentive. We’d definitely come back with friends and try other items.

Excellent service, great portion sizes, food tasted delicious. It felt more like European experience as nobody was rushing us to empty the table. We virtually hit the table for the entire evening.

La Zingara is our favorite place to eat! We go out of our way to stop here as often as we can. Jesus runs a fantastic family-friendly yet high-quality restaurant. The food is great! Lasagna is a can’t miss. Lots of delicious specials rotating through. My wife’s a repeat customer for the chicken Marsala. Fine selection of wine and cocktails. Pizza’s are great, too, if you’re looking for upscale casual fare. Oh, and dessert - eat dessert!
