Solid Hibachi place. Went in for a birthday dinner. Sat grill side, our cook was not really theatrical but the food he made was the best I've had there to date. Fillet Mignon and scallops.

This place was very busy at one time. Now it looks like it is on the verge of shutting down. The hostess was nowhere to be seen for about the first 52 ten minutes that we were in the restaurant. We were sat at the hibachi table even though that is not where we wanted to be. The hostess turned out to be a bartender also. The mixed drinks were not that good. Service was slow. The gentleman cooking our meal was awesome. They automatically add in an eighteen percent tip. There is no line on the receipt to add more if you are using a credit card. Overall, it looks like they are on their way out of business. It may have just been the night we went there. It was a Thursday. I am not sure I would go back. I have been to this restaurants.Many times over the last fourteen years they have been open.

Excellent experience. The waitress was so nice. Our food was cooked to perfection right in front of us. Me, my son, and his friend were there to celebrate my late dad's birthday....he would have been 88 today, and he would have enjoyed this place. We will definitely be back.

Our server, Jacqueline, was absolutely fantastic! She served us as quickly as she could on a busy night and was extremely attentive. Our hibachi chef, Brandon, kept us entertained, was witty, and paid close attention to us. Fantastic service, 10/10, would absolutely come again.

Hibachi used to be full of flair, silly jokes, and energy. It used to be a dress up affair, something fancy and fun. That's fine by the wayside.While our chef was a good cook, it seemed like he didn't want to be there. It's been like that the last few times we've gone, even pre Covid. It's rather disappointing because you're going to see something exciting and entertaining, and it just doesn't happen. I've been going to hibachi for my birthday since I was a child. I think I'll skip it this year because it's lost its heart and soul. It's the same at Grace. Worse at Grace because management there treats their employees poorly.The bar can't make a gin gimlet.I ordered one and got Sprite with gin in it, lol. It's a simple drink. Gin, lime juice, honey syrup (which is half and half honey and water). Shake it up, strain into a glass.The restaurant is about a B+ for cleanliness. It's an old building, so it gets some leeway.The saving grace is that the food is always tasty.

Last night I ordered the scallops and medium rare steak hibachi, no onions.My other half ordered medium steak hibachi without eggs.We both got a super well done steak, neither of us got the egg. There is a huge difference between medium rare to well done temperature. Almost $70 bill that was not worth $40.Asked for a to go box, the sever asked if we would like a container and shrimp sauce to go, he brought back the container but no sauce. This was 5:30 pm and the restaurant was not busy at the time. Very disappointed.I did write it on the bill but still tipped the server as it was not his fault for serving the awful steak.
