I have consistently had great service and great food since beginning to come to Kobe 5 years ago. The only negative that I can think of is that they don't offer lunch anymore. As a family, we try to budget when we go out to nice restaurants and so we only go to Kobe a few times a year. But here are the positives... Number one, I am gluten free as in celiac, and I have never had a reaction once at this restaurant. I always tell them when I make the reservation that I'm celiac. I remind them when I arrive and I tell the server once we've sat down. And again, I have never had a reaction or an issue and I'm also deathly allergic to shellfish and they always cook my food first which saves my life. Number two, their portions are enormous. It's enough for two grown adults. When you order anything. I always take a box home and eat lunch the next day easily. The staff are very nice and professional and the cooks are very entertaining and cater to the people in your group whether they have special needs or are small children or it's a special occasion. So there's my two cents worth and I'll save those two cents and go to kobe again.
