    Made reservations here for my fiancés birthday and I’m so happy I did. Not even because the food was good, but because of how beautiful the aesthetics and ambience was. It was an amazing romantic experience with my other half next to the water

    We've been to Nobu several times now in the past year. The food is beyond fantastic. Service always pleasant, professional and caring. They are knowledgeable about the menu items so it's OK to ask. Since the Fires, I've noticed they now accept Open Table. That is a major PLUS. You don't have to wait on phone hold to make a reservation! Note, however, in order to cancel or change, you must CALL them instead. I believe you still cannot make a reservation more than 30 days ahead, as usual. Worth the drive; worth the view; great food. They have $15 valet parking (as of 4/2025.)

    Location and views are amazing, nice to be oceanside. The restaurant is very well decorated, ambianceis nice. Overall service was lacking, surprising for a "high-end popular restaurant". Food was lacking in presentation and flavor. We were given dishes that looked unfinished. We waited over 45 mins for our main dishes of 2 veggies plates and a fish plate. The dessert we ordered, bento box lava cake, arrived plain with a green scoop of ice cream in the box. The cake looked sad and was dry tasting with no compote or sauce. The staff's smiles were disingenuous. They were not personable or welcoming at all. The bathroom is very small with only 3 stalls, so it was a good thing groups of 3 ladies would go into one stall at a time. There are way better restaurants for value and flavor. This spot is definitely overhyped.
