    Going to Nobu was an amazing experience. They cultivated a menu based off our likes and dislikes, and catered very well to a gluten allergy. The food was absolutely delicious. The best oysters, Maki, and scallops I have had to date. I came for a special occasion, and they threw in a beautiful desert with congratulations written on tempered chocolate. I left full from the tasting menu experience and would definitely do it again for another special occasion.

    Our experience was just overall terrible. The food took very long, it came out in no good order. We noticed a bug on one of the sushi rolls. We told the server who was pouring water and he took the entire tray away and said we would get you another one. After he took the tray we noticed they were fruit flies flying around the table. We told our waiter and he said “yeah, there’s nothing that I can do about that…Every time there is soy sauce there’s going to be fruit flies…but I will talk to my manager”. I’ve eaten at many sushi restaurants and Chinese restaurants with soy sauce always on the table and I never once have I seen fruit flies flying around the table…not to mention this is supposed to be a very upscale restaurant and that is very pricey. None the less I tried to enjoy the night with my family because we were celebrating my daughters 18th Birthday, but my wife could not eat after the bugs. Then they forgot about my drink…But to top it all off when we got the Bill the sushi tray that they took away was still charge to us, and we never got any replacement. I told our waiter, and he seemed to be frustrated. He went back to talk to his manager. Then he came back and they comped a couple drinks! But because of all the disappointment, I didn’t even notice that I was charged for something that we didn’t even order or eat. And finally, I asked for a receipt and our waiter completely forgot about us. We had to flag him down to get the receipt. I never have an issue with price or paying my bills…even though the overall experience was terrible…I still tipped 20%. I just want it to be known that for a very upscale restaurant, they should do more to make sure that the experience is great for their customers, especially for the price they are paying!

    What a great experience to the evening. Our server was amazing, knowledgeable and on top of things. He created an awesome vibe to match what was happening with the celebration of the night and was able to make adjustments to that. It was like he knew without knowing, sixth sense. The food was on point and exceed expectations. The drinks were well... good. The tequila was changed up on the same drink from the start of the evening so it was interesting and unexpected in way that was not expected. The overall experience was great and will be back for dinning vs bar side lounge.

    Excellent food but insanely overpriced (coming from someone who lived in Manhattan for 6 years and ate frequently at Nobu and Nobu 57). Bill was about $300pp. $35 to valet park car for 2 hours while you eat there is simply extortion. Won’t be back.

    Can we talk about John David?! He is a genius. This human is THEEE most knowledgeable, kind, interesting, invested and anticipatory individual I’ve had the pleasure of knowing. This is my second encounter with this Angel being and let me say that they did NOT disappoint. My husband and I are celebrating his 40th birthday. As soon as I mentioned this John David said ‘let me do this, let me do what I’m here to do’, ummmm yes John David! The meal was course over course of the most divine selection of items. I will put my dining experience and furthermore my life in John David’s hands every single time. Please bless this human and do everything in your power to retain such an exceptional and extraordinary talent. We love you, John David.

    We checked in 3 minutes early and they very rudely said “we will seat you @ (time of our reservation) and then didn’t get sat until 10 minutes after our reservation and then took another 10 minutes for a server to come by& take uur order. Had to ask a second server for water bc we never got any after we asked

    Food was really good, though the portions are small. Atmosphere in the dining area could be improved. Also, a detraction was when the staff would shout something and the other staff members were supposed to echo it or shout something in response. It felt tacky and ruined the vibe.

    I went to Nobu for my birthday dinner and the entire experience was amazing. Our waiter explained the tasting menu option by letting us talk about our likes and dislikes and figuring out what we wanted to try. Each dish was perfectly tailored to our likes and paired excellently with the next. I would definitely come back for a special occasion.

    Food is reliably good. Service was spotty with drinks arriving in our third course. Meal was incredibly rushed. Our table was uncomfortably cold next to the door. Bathroom was filthy which always makes me weary of overall cleanliness. Foood was good. Drinks were good. Generally very overpriced compared to similar sceny restaurants.

    Great food and environment. Eric did a great job as our server. I love the handheld payment system in theory, but have the server hover of your as you assign a tip isn't a great feeling (it happened in the bar and at the table). That said, I would absolutely recommend Nobu as long as you know it's expensive.

    Sat on the bar side. Slower service than expected. Tuna roll was bland. Crispy rice dish - don’t eat in one bite like they tell you. Just didn’t feel blown away like we thought we would. Dumplings and fried shrimp were wonderful.
