Loved coming here for breakfast while we were in town. Highly recommend. And they have gluten free waffles. Call beforehand in case they are sold out though. Even the kids loved their breakfast. I'm not a waffle person but I had to have their waffles. They are that good.

Jake, our chef, was amazing tonight! We brought our son Preston for his birthday and Jake mentioned him by name and wished him a happy birthday multiple times during our dinner. Jaden our server was efficient friendly and attentive to detail. There was a member of the other party at our table that has a gluten allergy and both Jake and Jaden went above and beyond to ensure we all had an equally enjoyable experience. Teri checked in with us at the end of our meal to make sure all was well. Overall 10/10 would recommend! Thank you Benihana for making our son’s birthday dinner memorable.

Over the last 7 years, we have been here about 5 times. I would say that we have always had very good service, and the food has always been good too! I have dietary restrictions as I am a vegetarian by choice, but also have Celiac Disease and need to order gluten-free. I was very happy to see that this last time we visited, they had a gluten-free bun on the menu. I also like that I could order sparkling wine and that there is a pretty decent adult beverage menu. This time we went to eat there, we took 7 of the volunteers for my nonprofit Traci's Paws, to eat after they volunteered the late shift for our recent charity event, and they all really enjoyed it. It was the first time for all 7 of them to dine here, and I think that many of them will be back. While this restaurant is probably here for the hotels that are within walking distance, I really like that it feels like it is off of the beating path and like a hidden gem that I can sneak off to when I want a really good burger that feels like my parents made, and not "fast food".

Ordered take out over the phone. Had some modifications to the order and I am gluten free so I made sure to voice those changes on the phone. When I went to pick up my order, my pizza was not gluten free. After waiting double the time they told me it would take to make it, it was remade incorrectly. Unfortunately, I did not realize until I was back at the hotel. I called and was asked to bring it back to be refunded. I did and all is well. But it’s been 80 minutes since I tried to order dinner and I am left hungry.
