Benihana - An Experience at Every Table - Japanese Steakhouse & Sushi
by Sarah H. on We came on a whim. He was wearing khakis and a polo, and I a jersey dress. I had heard this place served really fresh and organic food and I wanted to try it. I wasn't prepared for what I got. We walked in and immediately I knew this place was fancy. We had to walk the length of a room to get to the host podium, he asked, "do you have reservations?".... uh-oh. No, we didn't. "oh, oh, I'm sure we could accommodate you", he said, in a half-stutter. I wanted to turn and run. This place was tooo fancy. While they prepared our table we sat at the bar and I had the best cocktail in Atlanta: a gin, fruity mixture. Amazing. We sat on the lovely patio. And we perused the menu. We decided on the Chef Special, a three course meal. Now, I love Top Chef, but I've never eaten any "Top-Chef" items. This place has that Top Chef style. First was a spoon with a variety of mixed items. Then was this amazing scallop over a bean and bacon sauce. Honestly, they listed all the items on the dish as they came out, but it was all a blur. The whole time I kept thinking, "this is the type of place you go to celebrate, like a graduation or something...". The Service: Top Notch. The Food: High Class. The Verdict: Go Prepared.
by Minerva Wakeham on It's not like Delux needs another review, but oh well, here goes... I'd heard soo much about this place that it started to seem strange I hadn't tried it yet. And while I don't eat meat and can't try this heralded burger, I did get to try both the grilled vegetable panini (my dish) and the panini grilled cheese (my boyfriend's dish)- and both were delicious. Of course we had to get fries, but it was a really hard decision on what to get for dessert. Should we opt for one of the amazing looking shakes we had seen going by on trays to neighboring tables or give in to the call of the GIANT banana split lava cake? We gave in. And it was wonderful. This dessert was meant to share, but every bite I took was worth it. I can't wait to go back to Delux again to have it, that's for sure.
by Roachie D. on I love the atmosphere at this place. Dark reds, great old Art posters, nice long bar..... I recall the drinks being reasonably priced and quite lovely, with attentive, friendly bartenders. There's a pool table in the back which is fun for killing time before music starts. It's an ideal sized venue-- has that intimacy that only a small space can bring (especially when the stage is only 2 feet high) but its deep enough to pack a bunch of people in, so occasionally you can see a popular band. Oh, and the ladies room as two stalls, which is always noteworthy, as it cuts down on how long you have to wait in line.
