If a picture's worth a thousand words then.....
This pretty much sums up our visit to Kobe's.   

But the story doesn't stop there.  In fact, there's way more to the story than this.  It all started with the infamous Cucumber Melon Mojito everyone is talking about (cue flashback sequence).  Although this obviously wasn't our first.  Here's the video on how they make them - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubBtPase2Ck.  This is such an easy drink to make and would be easy to make as a pitcher.  Although I don't know what everyone else is going to drink:)  You will wow your guests with your sophistication and pulse on what's hot. 

Then we headed over to the sushi bar.  Where marvelous creations are served... including our fabulous group. Thanks for joining us Miles, Kristin, Kyle, Cheryl, Nicki, Shawtee and the uncomparable Mike Hehn.  The thing about Kobe's that makes it so special is one of these rolls is on the menu and the other was made especialyl for us.  I like to call it the Wok and Roll (part cooked, part raw... all yummy).  Not that WE are special, but they always want to make sure your visit is special.  Even if it means deviating from the menu a bit or letting the guest's creativity run wild with their own creation.

URL Radio "hearts Andy" as well.

Then we headed to the Hibatchi and that's when thing started to "heat up."  Sorry I couldn't resist.  The hibatchi is so much more than a meal.  It's an experience.  It's fire, fun, festive, fresh, and unforgetable.  Whether you're with a crazy group like we were or you go there with your family, everyone walks away with what they want and an awesome experience.  There sake for the adults, "baby sake" for the kids, steak, chicken, shrimp, scallops, just vegetables, rice or noodles.  And trust me, even the biggest eater will take home a box.  But I recommend you make a reservation at the grill because it does fill up fast.  But if you're looking for a party for your birthday, baby shower, bridal showers, anniversary, this is something everybody will love!  How can you not, look they even make you a heart:)

But here's a tip too.  Very few people I talk to have ever eaten dessert there.  Shame Shame.  Such a waste.  You have ot try the fried red bean ice cream, fried green tea ice cream, or Mochi ice cream.  I know they sound crazy.  But you have to trust me.  Refer your friends to these cool and crazy Japanese confections and once again.  You'll be the cool kid.  The "it" person.  Make sure you tell them URL Radio sent ya!
