For this Benihana-style hibachi restaurant, presentation, in every sense of the word, is key. Waiters are dressed in traditional samurai garb complete with an impressive sushi knife strapped to their gold belts and they are ready and eager to put on a show. Seating at this popular restaurant is often limited, so it's not unusual to share a table grill with complete strangers, an arrangement that can make or break the whole experience. Once food is ordered, waiters put on culinary antics such as twirling salt and pepper shakers in one hand, juggling small colored balls, or tossing rice in the air as they prepare the dishes right at the table. This is all done, of course, with the utmost skill and dexterity, and folks are usually so bedazzled by the whole spectacle that they may hardly notice the hefty $20 price per plate. However, if one looks at it from the perspective of an evening of entertainment complete with a meal, then the price may well be a bargain.
