Greating & Seating
The card said "Reservation Suggested" well should have listened, this place may have a wait.
The wait was long on two trips in, both times though we were greated gracefully and when seated taken care of first thing.
Service & Style
The services was excellent, there is nothing that satys on the table as you finish. They were very prepared for serving each course.
The service was good, just felt like with so many employees and so few tables they be more on top of everything we needed.
Decor & Atmosphere
I was quite fond of the small setting this place has. There may only be about twenty tables in total. The crowd seemed to be mixed, note they dont really use the Sushi bar.
While the resturant is small and it feels romantic when you enter, the tables are far to close together and I feel like I had guests eating with me.
Food Review
The food is very good, I am a big fan of the Lobster Tempura rolls. This is very different in that the serving is much smaller then other sushi bars and with that half the price. They are great and it is nice to not have to over portion it.
Big win for Benten with the food, Lunch box, dinner box, assorted teriyakis and tempuras are a big win for this place, the food is very impressive!
Cost Per Couple
The cost is about right, maybe a bite for some, but it fits the food quality.
Moderate prices, be ready to spend if you going all out on sushi, but not unreasonable.
