    Nobu Fifty Seven is and will always be my favorite spot to dine in the city. The service is unreal; water glasses refilled without ever having to ask, empty plates taken from the table before you even notice your table scraps are gone, waiters checking in on you often but not too often where it feels overwhelming, I could go on and on. The chicken teriyaki is one of the most phenomenal dishes I have ever had and no restaurant can make it even close to Nobu. I had the pleasure last evening of meeting the manager who was nothing short of inviting and accommodating. I will always, always return to Nobu Fifty Seven.

    Excellent izakaya experience with tons of delicious options. The menu is expansive and diverse and everything we tried was excellent. Just be careful, cause it can add up quick if you’re trying a bunch of the small plates. Thankfully the portions were perfect for sharing with our table our four. Looking forward to going back.

    Johnny was our server for my birthday lunch and they made sure they had our table ready when we arrived. The food was fresh, beautifully presented and delicious! We had the marinated steak and chicken both teriyaki and basil soy and they were tender and delicious. Mike got peppers and i got broccoli and they were so fresh and tasty. I got fried cheese dumplings which were to die for yummy!!! I had Johnny and 2 of his colleagues sing happy birthday to me so enthusiastically that it made me cry it was with so much emotion! They gave me mille green tea cake with vanilla and green tea ice cream and it was soooo delicious! If I could give more stars I would give 5 more!!!
