Looks like we finally have an upgrade from the trusty old Benihana at the Westgate. Thank God!!! BUT, the service man. The service. Wish they were the same.
Got here at 8pm on a Tuesday night and couldn't be seated until 8:30. Fine...A few drinks later, we were at our table, but a chef didn't show up until an hour later! Sitting in front of an empty grill for that long while you hear everyone else's onion choo-choo trains and birthday tambourines around you in that fragrant environment is just torture.
Our chef Dominic got everything going in short order, but seemed a little nervous as the other big party at our table had a ton of obnoxious requests for extras and particulars. Poor guy. We did ask him to skip most of the tricks so we could eat, but he did make us some twerking booty cheeks with the huge mound of rice, which was quite possibly the awesomest thing I've ever seen at a Benihana. Way to keep things current. lol...Food was great.
All in all, I was on a first date, and thank goodness he was cute and chill, because the whole experience took all of 3 hours or more. No bueno when you're starving.
