    First time and definitely won’t be the last! Every course was better than the last. What really made our experience was the service! Amy was absolutely fantastic! She never made us feel rushed, great suggestions and just overall kind attentive service. Can’t wait for my next culinary journey at Nobu!

    It was my first experience - loved the vibe , how small it is, the service and our food was great!! We ordered the bread course with Brie and truffle honey which was tasty and crispy followed by the melon and tuna (small and delicious) then shared the sea bass with beurre blanc, the lobster ravioli, the chicken paillard, the French fries with side dipping sauces (amazing) and the green salad (not my favorite type of lettuce but the dressing was light and delicious). Love meeting the chef who was walking around - clearly the quality did not suffer. It is my new neighborhood favorite. I plan on going back and hopefully become a regular!
