    We ordered the summer seasonal pre-set course and did not receive one of the meat items. We didn’t realize until we had left. It was probably a mistake but we wish we wouldn’t have had to keep track of it ourselves…

    Service wasn't very good. We were left waiting at the front desk for 5+ minutes. Finally acknowledged and then left to wait another 5 minutes. Finally sat at our table. Waiter shows up and we let him know it's our first time joining them and asks him to explain the menu. We get a very short explanation without much detail. He takes drinks and appetizer orders. Returns 30 seconds later for the dinner order. We order hurriedly. About 5 minutes later he shows up with appetizers and then about a minute later the entire meal comes out. Limited explanation of what is being served. What sauces are what. Food was good not great and we just felt rushed the entire time. Probably won't be back. To many other places to try.

    Our waiter was phenomenal! He was very attentive and knowledgeable. Food was decent, we had party of 7 and got the 6 person meal and it was just about perfect, would have been nice to have 2 burners for cooking with so many, but we made it fun.

    This was our first visit and I was not impressed. The food is OK but since it is grilled by diners, there is no 'cooking' involved. The sauces were watery and not flavorful; the containers were sticky/gummy. For the price, the amount of food is smaller than expected. The 'sushi' was roast beef slices on rice, the edamame never made it to our table, the miso soup was watery and not salty, drinks were OK. We won't return.

    Our server took forever to bring us our food and we were 1 of 4 tables at the time. It took so long and people who were seated after us got their food before we got ours. It was tragic. I come here once a week and I brought someone here for their first time and they said they won’t be coming here again.

    Our waitress was awesome!!! She was very informational, it was our first time. It’s some what loud but it was ok. Please put up signs for parking. The food was good. But for 100$ for the chiefs choice it was very little. That part was not impressive. I had the sushi that came with it and roast beef on top…. That was weird. The salad was nothing special. The miso soup was straight up seaweed. BUT the beef we got was very very good! Shrimp is good size. Hopefully next time would be better.

    It was great, the experience was unique, but the servers weren’t quite good, I had a bad experience with my server and had to have a server from an other table bring me refills and napkins and other things cause the server at my table disappeared until he brought the check to the table.

    Food was good, but grill was cooking too slowly. Food took a while to all come out. Not sure if they were short staff, but our waiter rarely came by - just to drop off food. If we asked for a fork or something, he took a while to get it or simply just didn’t come back. In total, we spent 2.5 hours there due to the long wait for just getting our food and grilling. That’s ridiculous! Oh, and there was a mandatory gratuity which honestly, I felt they didn’t deserve this time. We ALWAYS tip 20% for great service. This experience was lacking by far!

    Staff weren’t that friendly and not super helpful. Manager or someone higher had us move tables and didn’t offer anything in return. Food is overpriced for what it is. Meat tasted decent but not great. Pretty loud so don’t expect it to be romantic. You sit directly next to people also. Would not go back.
