About

Kobe is a classic spot for a fun night out, especially for birthdays or anniversaries. The chefs put on a great show with fire and knife tricks that keep the table laughing. While the food is generally tasty and fresh, some regulars feel the quality has dipped lately. It gets pretty crowded and smoky, so don't wear your best clothes. Overall, it's more about the entertainment than a quiet fine-dining meal.
