Review summary

Great service and crew. Great Broadway shows and the carousel shows for entertainment. The complimentary food in main dining is good. However, the food in paid specialty restaurant called KAITO Teppanyaki is terrible. The rice was not fully cooked and it was too salty for all the meals. We were very disappointed that they also wasted our WAGYU beef by adding a lot Teriyaki sauce on it and made it well done (we asked to cook the meat medium).
