| - Saw a Groupon and decided to randomly try this place.
Groupon - $129 for 4 people
Came with :-
The prix-fixe meal includes the following:
1) Miso soup
2) Green salad with house ginger dressing
3) Fried rice
4) Vegetable spring roll - 4 mini spring rolls per pair
5) A main course of AAA striploin steak, chicken filet, atlantic scallops, jumbo shrimp, and lobster tail
6) Ice cream for dessert.
Some in our party (3) had severe seafood allergy so they asked for a substitute. I had looked on the website and noted the lobster tail was $16 and the Filet was $14, so I asked for them to substitute the lobster tail for that, everyone was ok with the switch (even when I had called and asked before I bought the Groupon)... until we actually sat down, then they did not give an option and announced they would only get steak and chicken at the 'same amount' (Very dishonest move)...
LOBSTER TAIL? HA HA HA... You mean 6 bite size pieces of lobster, they shared 1 small 6oz lobster tail between 3 people ( 2 others were there with a groupon as well), I received 2 scallops, the size of a quarter & dime and three shrimp, the size of a loonie... At the discounted Groupon, sure it was worth it as a taster menu, but not as a meal... and even less so at their original prices.
This was your opportunity to gain return customers... to put your best foot forward and prove to those in my party that you were worthy of paying regular price to return... and my did you fail.
Will I be back? Certainly NOT
Benihana... Iron Chef... lets do this... Hibachi NO WAY.
Atmosphere - 3/5 (It's a pretty restaurant)
Drinks - 2/5 (Below par)
Food - 2/5 (It's ok, but nothing special)
Service - 3/5 (Chef barely even spoke to the table or interacted at all)
Show - 3/5 (Vaguely amusing)
