In the early days of "event" restaurants, before there were monstrosities like ESPN Zone and Planet Hollywood, there was Benihana.

My buddy and I come here alot after work and LOVE it! Their drinks are great and their sushi is suprisingly good. I really love their Benihana Special which is their steak and lobster combo. It's neat to be seated with a larger group of strangers so that you can meet new people as you share your dining experiences. There's parking lot that you can get 3 hours' validation from if you eat here.

Fun place to go with friends
