"The chef was excellent. The waiter seemed inexperienced. It took a long time for drinks, and the restaurant was not very crowded. Otherwise the show was excellent."

"We have tried to patronize this new place and its lovely outdoor seating area. It has SO much potential, but without personal attention by the manager and assistant manager, the servers (who are great) cannot make it succeed. it would be sad to see yet another restaurant in this wonderful space close."

"We weren't sure about the hibachi style, but the food was absolutely awesome! It is noisy at the group tables and it gets smoky but the food makes it definitely worth it! Hard if you want to talk with friends though. Next time we'll book a table away from the grills. The show is great for the first time, chefs have fun and make the most of the group."

"The restaurant was beautiful, and the food was good. Our only problem is we've been a bit spoiled, I guess, with extremely good and entertaining habachi chefs. Our chef tonight was good, but not great. His biggest 'trick' was tossing food to people to catch, which I personally do not like."

"Because we had a split group - some wanted sushi and some wanted habachi, we decided to sit at a regular table where we could order both. It worked out fine. Staff was attentive. Meals arrived quickly and were excellent. Afterwards, went out to bar for additional drinks. Will go back again."
