Unfortunately our server, Maria, didn't know how to replenish drinks and took forever to bring the checks at the end of the night - it drops my review all the way down to only three stars. \n\nThe food was excellent but I feel it was somewhat overpriced (especially with the lackluster service). Maria told the table that it was her first night back from a months long vacation and that she wished she didn't have to come back. Nice! That's what I want to hear when we are spending a couple of hundred dollars on dinner. \n\nShrimp, scallops and steaks were delicious - but felt I was being fleeced enough without being charged an extra $5.50 a piece for fried rice. I also loved the green tea icecream!\n\nBenihana probably does 95% tourist business so they don't care about the 5% of us that would probably visit again and again - if we felt more welcome."^^ .
