Excellent in every way! We ate on the patio in a very comfortable booth. There was live guitar music at a perfect volume. My husband and I were able to hold a conversation. The weather was great. The food and service was AMAZING! A wonderful comfortable & relaxing atmosphere completed the package. We will definitely come again. We had crab cakes to start. They were the best we’ve ever had. My salmon crusted pistachio salad was fresh & flavorful. My husband loved his tacos. We were celebrating our anniversary and they brought us an amazing chocolate cake. We highly recommend the restaurant. You won’t be disappointed.

Celebrated our wedding anniversary by visiting our first Nobu. We both loved the black cod, shishito peppers, garlic edamame, spicy yellowtail sushi and date cake (so many great textures and tastes). I had the non-alcoholic Placebo expresso drink and he had the lychee pineapple drink. Loved the hospitality from the valets, security, servers, bartender and manager. Will return.
