    I start by saying that the dishes are good not extraordinary but good, apart from that nothing is right the prices displayed are not at all $40 but $70 per person, they say unlimited formula but in fact the time to wait each order we had only 3 services in all.. the waitress is super unpleasant and no heating in the room they save by thinking that the barbecue in front of us will warm up the room. Disappointed with the experience too bad.

    Great food as always! However, their heating system must be down or something because it was freezing. We didn’t take off our jackets the whole time and our hands were very cold. Given, it was 20 degrees outside but still.

    We made a 9:45 reservation and arrived at 9:50 ready for the full experience. The place was run down and pretty empty. As soon as we were seated the staff came over, dropped menus and asked us to place an order because the kitchen was closing at 10. We hadn’t ordered a drink or even had a chance to review the menus. We decided to leave after feeling so rushed and unwelcome.

    Amazing amazing food. The server was amazing, I have celiac disease and I can only eat gluten free food. The server was well aware about my autoimmune disease and told me what to avoid. And to be honest, I had tons and tons of options of food. Amazing experience.

    The Cheesecake Factory of Japanese BBQ. Everything was sticky -- from the windows outside to the menus and the tables. Very gross. They had a B rating, too, which doesn't surprise me. Very little value for money. $20 margaritas that taste like straight-up tequila. Veggie assortment was pitiful. Meats were tiny. Wouldn't come again.
