My husband and I live close to Benihana in Golden Valley and we dine there about once a month (in fact, we were there last night). I agree with a couple of the other comments about lackluster customer service, as they don't have the most accommodating staff. That said, I think people need to go here expecting to have all members of your party ready to be seated at the same time; it makes sense to me, if you show up with 5 people and are waiting on 1 more, don't expect the other couple at your table to sit there and wait for your 6th to show before they can order...welcome to communal eating, folks. Benihana is usually a hectic place, so I guess I understand why they are a little rough around the edges when it comes to seating people. My husband and I go as a twosome often and NEVER have a problem getting in, even when it's busy. We've also gone dozens times with large groups, which, on occasion, is a little more complicated. Overall, I've found that if you're extra nice to the staff and expect that things can move a little slow here, you won't get all bent out of shape. My opinion is that the food and the chefs are totally worth any drama you get from the hosts or servers. And here's a hint, act like you're interested in the show. Clap for them when they do a trick! Give them a little something to let them know you're engaged and they'll pay you back in spades. The food is consistently very good, and believe me when I say we've had just about everything on the menu. Here's another hint: be assertive with the chef. Let them know how you like your filet cooked or if you want extra shrimp sauce. They'll take care of you! Feel free to joke around with them and you'll have a lot more fun. My favorites include the fried rice, shrimp, scallops, filet, lobster, the onion/zucchini side dish, tuna steak, and of course, the SHRIMP SAUCE. My final hint: pour the shrimp sauce on your fried rice...you won't be sorry=)
Pros: Great food, fun dinner show, lots of free parking, nice bar area to wait in
Cons: May have to wait for a table, have to be patient with host staff

I find it interesting that the people that gave Psycho Suzi's only one star have only written one review. That tells me that the review is not legit and it is more or less a personal vendetta kinda thing. Just sayin'. Thanks.
Pros: Best employees anyone could ask for
Cons: disgruntled past employees

I have been wanting to go here forever and never did, till last Saturday. Was there when it opened, which I'm glad I was because this place gets full quick. I had just a basic cheeseburger and OMG - it was amazing! I can't wait to go back and try the garlic or pizza burger - YUMMY! And our server Katie was amazing and one of the best server's I've ever had, or at least in a long time :) I would recommend this to anyone. I can't wait to go back!
Pros: cheap and good food, great service
Cons: can get busy fast

Loved the experience!! Quaint little shop but has amazing food!
I tried the beans (appetizer) and got an extra packed before I left. The server was absolutely wonderful (unfortunately I forgot her name) and helpful! She even gave me some bread that I loved. Great recommendation for wine too.
My friends tried the roast and the veggie ravioli. I tried the asparagus risotto. All food was wonderful.
Must go.
Pros: Best bread I've ever eaten, great server!!!
Cons: None

This place was packed on the night I was there, so maybe the word is starting to get out about Spill The Wine. Before I went I only heard great things about it. When I went there, my experience was fabulous. The young lady who waited on me was a sweetheart, and the food was absolutely delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant, especially if you want to avoid the traffic and parking of the heart of downtown Minneapolis.
Pros: Great Location, Decor, and Food
Cons: I couldn't stay longer?

This place is the most authentic Italian restaurant in the entire Twin Cities, not the mention that it?s also quite romantic and has the best wine list around. If you looking for the real deal, try Arezzo.
Pros: The Best Italian food, wine list, romantic
Cons: Busy place go before 6 or after 8
