We have frequently visited Bonsai and it makes a great place for a business lunch or dinner with the family. It has comfortable serene setting with a quite environment and boasts a full bar at a good price.

Service: Usually the restaurant isn’t packed so getting a table is never a problem. On some occasions they did seem to be out of certain wines that are listed on their menu or would be out of certain vegetables and foods.

Restaurant Layout/Atmosphere – One of the negatives of the place is their lack of habachi grills and Rob and I both enjoy the food being cooked in front of us rather than in the back kitchen. Otherwise, the seating was comfortable and lighting was dimmed to perfection.

Chef Technique – Bonsai does not have Habichi tables and we are unsure if the chef did any tricks in the back kitchen to please himself while preparing our food.

Food Quality – The food quality here was just above average. The steak was slightly over cooked but generally good.

Price – The price point at this restaurant is in the $10-15 per dinner range. This is one of the better priced restaurants in the area.
