I have been to Shinto probably a dozen times in the last 6ish years. I always have a good experience. But on Saturday night Luke S showed me and my table the absolute best server experience that we have ever had. He was an absolute all-star from start to finish. Luke S was exemplary.

We came out to celebrate a birthday and Luke made sure our experience was above and beyond! The food was so good and the service was great. Luke even offered to do a fast quiet birthday song, very thoughtful.

Fun experience, the food was 10/10. We got the hibachi style which came with onion soup, steak, chicken and fried veggies and they also give you 2 cooked shrimps. The chef was great and entertaining, the person who was the waiter was amazing as well, kept up with cleaning and drinks.

Could have been worse however it took like 45 mins to an hour after sitting for us to have a chef come cook for us and then I got the chicken and steak combo and the chicken was good however my steak was literally raw like not even rare that was raw and I asked for medium rare… however it was completely un editable and I had a bad stomach ache from trying to eat it that night. The steak in the picture was what I tried to eat and the rest I put in a box and let my girlfriend bring it home to try and cook more but was nasty reheated.

Hibachi. We usually like the food but the last 2 visits the wait time was ridiculous. We were seated at 7.30, the food was ready at 9pm. After an hour of waiting for the chef to start, we had to ask a manager about why it was taking so long as nobody had come up and talked to us. The manager was dismissive saying that everyone had to wait. As it was our second bad experience, we are not coming back. After such a long wait, we didn’t have time to enjoy the food that we paid good money for.
