It was our first visit to Stone. We called in advance of outmr reservation party of 5 to request indoor dining because it was a ridiculously hot day. We were told there were no guarantees for that. When we arrived after a short wait we were seated in doors Thank God! Big Thank you to the staff!!

It was a lively Friday night at South of Nick’s. The food & cocktails were very good and the portions extremely generous! The best of all was our server. Tanner was amazing, the best waiter we ever had actually. He was super friendly and very attentive. Great night overall :)

We had such a fun experience at Benihana! The food was delicious, and everything we ordered was so good. We ordered the American Masami Ribeye from the Wagyu menu, and it was absolutely amazing, definitely one of the highlights of the meal! Our chef, Trevor, was incredible! He brought such high energy to the table and made the whole experience so fun and interactive. He kept us laughing and entertained throughout dinner while also making everything perfectly. The cocktails were also all really good, and the entire night was such a great experience. If you’re looking for a fun dinner with great food, drinks, and entertainment, I definitely recommend Benihana!

    Everything we ordered was amazing. There were grilled oysters as a special that night so we opted to try them and they were so tasty. My husband ordered a filet while I chose the rib eye. Both were cooked to perfection just as we requested. For sides, we had the brocollini and dirty hashbrowns. Those dirty hashbrowns were to die for. We were informed the process takes 3 days just to get them to their perfect state and it showed. Service was A+ and we even got to meet the chef! We also received a photo as it was our anniversary and that was a nice touch. That was our first time dining there and it will not be the last!
