   Absolutely disappointing. We had meals at the Malibu and NY locations, which do not compare with Indian Wells at all. The Sea Urchin was dry and the Salmon Roe was tacky and did not pop in your mouth. I only tried two eggs and could not eat it. the Shishito peppers came sweet. On to my next sushi spot to try and call home..............or will just make it to LA every 3 weeks to get my fix in

   I"m crazy about Nobu and have been to most of their locations. I really wanted to love this one as well since I live in La Quinta but it was a disappointment. The space itself, overlooking the tennis court is pretty cool. The service is great. I just didn't think the food quality was the same as say, the Malibu location.

    Our waitress was awful. Red head. It was also about 90 degrees inside. It was our first time there and the only answer we got was they didn’t know what it was. It did get a little cooler a few times which made me think that they just didn’t want to cool off the entire space (it’s large). Nobu’s food is always consistently good. But this location needs to work out some kinks. And the red head needs a new attitude.

    Nobu has its loyal following all over the world bc the food is consistently good. However, the Indian wells location having just recently opened needs to work out a few kinks. Our reservation was at 7:15 & and upon our arrival we promptly seated. A tiny corner table with barely enough room for our knees awaited us. We were quickly offered water by nice young man, but, proceeded to wait 20 minutes for someone to acknowledge we were there and give us a menu. The place isn’t very big and the room can be scanned end to end in seconds, yet NO ONE including the manager made eye contact with either me or my husband …. It was bizarre. Nearly every waiter walked past us at least once without so much as a glance in our direction. When someone finally came over it was smooth sailing.

    Had my hopes up but was totally disappointed. Menu needs work, ie. give us some details on the food! And if you're paying $150 per person, how about some presentation on the food? Mediocre at best. Will not be back.

    The artichoke salad was UNREAL! Veggie role was good. My husband loved the baked crab, seared tuna with ginger (don’t remember the actual name but had crispy onions on top) tuna and salmon sushi, spicy tuna crispy rice and miso black cod. I had the spicy miso eggplant and it was delicious! Oh and the date cake was delicious. Shishito peppers were really good although we did get some spicy ones. Our server was great! She was very knowledgeable about all the menu items and very friendly. Thank you cassidy!

    We are huge fans of Nobu! From Malibu to Monte Carlo to New York and Sensai Rancho Mirage, as well as the Indian Wells Nobu…it is our guilty pleasure! Love the leche martinis, the wagu sliders, the black cod, crispy tofu, the mushroom salad and artichoke salad, and the sashimi albacore…just to mention a few… our mouths are watering as we write. —Lynne & Rob Daniels

    Excellence from the moment we arrived at the valet stand until our departure. Given the restaurants place in The Gardens, guides are stationed along the path to ensure we would find its location easily. Once seated we allowed our server, Scott, to make our meal selections for us and to determine the rate at which the plates arrived. His choices and timing were flawless. The Bento Box dessert was a really nice touch to finish the meal. As we left the restaurant one of the gentlemen who assisted our earlier walk to the restaurant took our valet tickets and called ahead to have our cars waiting for our return to the valet stand. Perfection from beginning to end leaving us to have enjoyed perhaps the best dining experience in memory.

    the service was the worst. hot food showed up before the cold food. hot food was ordered as main course. when we were almost done with the food, the same hot dish showed up again by mistake. food was presented horribly. not like a Japanese restaurant. will not visit this location any more. had better experience somewhere else with Nobu.

    Unfortunately, there were multiple missteps that contributed to my group's less than enjoyable dining experience. First, we arrived right on time for our reservation and were told it would be a 15 minute wait for a table or we had the option to sit outside. We opted to sit outside and that table was still not ready so we had to stand and wait while a busser rushed to set up our table in front of us. Next, it took over 15 minutes for anyone to help us and take our order and when we got drink menus they were only handed to the men in the group. When it came time to order food I informed the server that I have a gluten sensitivity and she condescendingly told me that this is a "Japanese restaurant so everything has soy sauce which isn't gluten free" even though she also told me they had gluten free soy sauce available so I'm not sure why it couldn't be substituted in the dishes. Some of the dishes were enjoyable and some were very mediocre. Our dishes came out with missing items multiple times. For the price, I would have expected much better service and a higher quality of food. I would not return.

    Food delicious. Background music too loud and difficult to hear our own conversation at dinner table. Waitress rude and very inattentive. Did not bring my wife her main dish which delayed how long we were there and then tried to bush us out as were were taking up table too long. Never filled our water glasses as night went on. Will not go back which is very unfortunate.

    Nobu Indian Wells is a hidden gem - in the midst of the Tennis Gardens! If the stadium wasn't there you'd think you were somewhere else - L.A. New York.
