. "Oof! A 2nd trip back with other friends who came into town was less positive. I don't want to unfairly bring it down to 2 because we did have a very positive experience before but it did chip away at my opinion.\n\nFor starters -- we came to the bar and it was busy but we sat there for 15 minutes without being asked for a drink order all the while newcomers would be asked for theirs. That's a HUGE red flag.\n\nIt became very apparent that half of the restaurant was filled by an office party but the focus of the wait staff was almost 100% on that party.\n\nUnfortunately it caused the rest of our experience to suffer. We wound up leaving the bar without ordering because we were never approached despite being one of the only ones actually *at* the bar. \n\nOur friends arrived and we sat down for hibachi and we had a rather lackluster / inept chef who did his best to do the usual tricks but consistently failed. Perhaps he was new -- and that's forgivable (again -- I don't want to go down to 2 -- it may have just been a perfect storm).\n\nUltimately -- for the price -- I'll probably give it one more shot which'll be the \"make or break\" for me. Their hibachi is expensive and if the service and performance doesn't meet the price -- we'll definitely be looking for an alternate \"fun hibachi\" site in the Madison area."^^ . "0"^^ . "3"^^ .
