    I had a great overall experience at the restaurant, with excellent food and a wonderful atmosphere. However, I believe there is room for improvement in service, as it took nearly 25 minutes for a waiter to take our drink orders after we were seated, despite having made a reservation

    Great value and great food overall. Too many items came out at one time though - slow down and pay attention to the table being too crowded with too many things at one time. Bathroom was not clean. Glad we used it after dinner vs before because it makes you wonder what the kitchen looks like if the bathroom was like that.

    We had a bad experience with our reservation at Gyu-Kaku. Our reservation for 2 was at 7:30pm. We checked in at 7:20pm and were told that our table was being prepared. When we looked in the seating area at 7:35pm, we noticed that there were ready and empty 2 seat tables. We waited and were not being seated even though it was now 8:00pm. As we waited, we noticed that 3 parties with 7:45pm and 8:00pm reservations were seated before us. I finally decided to check-in with the host again and we were told again, that our table was being prepared and that we would be seated according to the order of the reservation which made no sense. We asked to speak with the manager who then came to the front. Instead of an apology for the delay, he doubled down that we would be seated according to our order. Then when we asked about how the 7:45pm and 8:00pm reservations who arrived later were already seated and he said it was due to the order of check-in, even though we had checked-in at 7:20pm and the other parties had arrived much later. 5 minutes later, we were seated at the same table that had been empty at 7:35pm. I want to stress that we had no issue with our server or our food. The server was great and our food was good. We actually credit our server for saving our night, as we were upset with the situation and almost walked out. Our experience with our reservation and how we were treated prior to being seated was not good. It ruined our mood and our appetite. I would try the restaurant again but we ask management to doublecheck reservations and how the interact with people who are waiting way beyond their reservation time to be seated. Other parties of the same size with later reservation times should not be seated before us.

    Great meal, but what made the meal special was our waiter, Eder. Eder was exceptionally helpful, very attentive, and always had a smile. He seemed very happy to be working there. We had a great experience.
