The Seven Seas experience was absolutely incredible! From the moment we arrived, everything felt immersive, magical, and so well put together. One of the highlights for me was the Mermaid Brew cocktail — not only beautiful but also delicious and perfectly balanced. A special shoutout to our waiter Gabi, who was so kind, attentive, and made the whole experience even more enjoyable. And of course, Chef Milton was amazing — his performance and presentation were outstanding and he truly delivered on every level. You can really see the passion and talent behind what he does. Overall such a fun and memorable experience. I would definitely recommend it and can’t wait to come back!

Had such a great experience at Benihana. The food was so good, and I especially loved the soup, it was the perfect start to the meal. Kathryn at the host stand was so friendly and welcoming from the moment we walked in. Mark, the manager, was very accommodating, and Jalen, the general manager, was so kind and made sure we felt truly taken care of. Overall, the hospitality was amazing and I left feeling genuinely welcomed. I’ll definitely be back.

Next-Level Hibachi! We tried the Benihana’s Wagyu World which was a six-course meal that’s just as much a show as it was dinner. From the fire-filled hibachi performance to every sizzling bite, this is a full-on upgrade. For the main, you have the options to choose: - A5 Japanese Tokyo Broil - Australian NY Strip - American Masami Ribeye Comes with: Hibachi Shrimp Appetizer • Onion Soup & Salad Hibachi Vegetables • Steamed Rice + Sauces Japanese Hot Green Tea • Ice Cream or Sherbet From the sizzling fire show to melt-in-your-mouth wagyu, every bite is pure spectacle. Are you ready to take your hibachi game to the next level? Follow me @foodie.elite on IG and Tiktok for more!
