    Sushi is top notch and they have a beautiful bar. Tables are spaced out nicely so it’s roomy even though highly popular. Was easy to get a lunch reservation.

    Food was absolutely amazing, everything we ordered was beautifully presented and tasted even better. Definitely recommend the wagyu dumplings and mochi for dessert.

    NOBU is an excellent choice The food is impeccably prepared and served with details and instructions on how best to enjoy it. The table attendants are remarkable and replaced and removed plates after eating. Very very organized clean and impressive attention to detail.

    Hostess tried to give us the worst table with most foot traffic even though the restaurant was practically empty when we arrived. The table bussers were overly aggressive in taking away the plates even when food was still present. Had to tell multiple bussers multiple times to keep onto the plates. Asked one busser to top off the wine since we had a bottle open; busser straight up told us she isn’t allowed to touch the wine bottle (seemed a rather odd response from a service point). Lastly, the dessert came with a note “happy anniversary” even though we weren’t celebrating any anniversary - seemed very presumptuous. Overall the service was rather underwhelming, for any place, but particularly for a place like Nobu.

    I was seated at the counter, so in addition to enjoying my lunch I was able to watch the chefs prepare the sushi. They have a bento box for $62 but I was concerned it might be too heavy for lunch, so I went with the 3 course option instead. I started with the yellowtail jalapeño in a light citrus sauce. All the flavors worked amazingly well together, a perfect start to the meal. I had the salmon (medium well) and crispy shiso for my main and I’m still thinking about this dish days later. The salmon was crispy on top and perfectly moist. First time trying crispy shiso leaves and they added a nice texture and flavor to the dish. I ordered a side of plain white rice as the main didn’t come with any accompaniments. For dessert I had the house made, creamy salted caramel gelato which was the perfect ending to the meal.
