Our family came to celebrate a birthday, and our party took up two hibachi stations. Our reservation for 5:00 P.M. on a Saturday was perfect and we had been seated promptly when everyone arrived. Very friendly staff from the hostess/waiter/chefs. I'm accustomed to a meal like this being costly, and as such sticker shock really only comes upon the final bill when you see the total from all the upgrades/sides/appetizers/drinks. We have been to several different restaurants similar to Shinto, and This was one of the better experiences. It is fun to see the chef in action, and the staff at Shinto did not disappoint. Thank you for the great service and tasty food, I do believe our Birthday celebrants enjoyed it.
