| - Kamakura was ok, but not as wonderful as I had heard.
To start, as we were all being seated at our hibachi grill table, the waitress at the next table took the sugar/sweetener bowl from our table, saying she would return with another. She never did. When I ordered my iced tea, I asked for sugar, but had to ask again ten minutes later. The waitress then dumped about 30 packs of sugar in front of me instead of putting them in their proper place.
The chef was ok and could twirl his spatula, but that was the extent of his skills at the hibachi grill. I have heard others talk about chefs who flip food onto your plate from the grill, or can juggle food while cooking it, etc., but none of those things happened tonight.
And the food... well... the shrimp and vegetables were delicious! But my steak (a New York Strip) was tough, and my wife's filet mignon had several chunks of gristle in it.
One nice surprise: The (non-alcoholic) drinks were included in the price, so we didn't get nickle-and-dimed for tea and soda.
We might give the Kamakura a second chance some day, but it's definitely not on our "must go to" list.
