The only reason I'm not giving a five star rating is that the chef went to the kitchen for something we requested, and the shrimp on the flat top overcooked. Like majorly rubbery. Our experience otherwise was lovely. They had a table available for us immediately even though we didn't have a reservation and the service was prompt and attentive from that point forward. There were six adults, two school age kiddos and my toddler. The chef was engaging and friendly and, most importantly, pleasantly agreeable about omitting the big fire display because the kids were apprehensive. My filet was like butter and my dad raved again today about his tasty spicy chicken. My sister, who can be particular about her sushi, ate both her rolls- and that's rare for her. We are beverage people so I have to note that the iced tea was also really good. It was fresh and came served over plenty of ice. I'll also note that we initially planned to eat at Ah-So down the road. I attempted to make a reservation with them and it was not logged so we were told it would be about a 45 minute wait. Anybody with kids knows you don't wait 45 minutes before even sitting at the table. I feel confident that we will bypass the Ah-So detour after this experience and head directly to Hayashi.
