    Our server Ziggy was awesome! As was the rest of the staff. Food was better than expected. My only complaint was that we were put in the corner next to a the window, which was fine but the air flow seemed to be low and it got a bit warm. To be fair my wife thought the temperature was fine. Other than that it was an awesome experience we will definitely be back.

    A great place to celebrate your birthday! Our server was extremely knowledgeable and took the time to explain the menu to us in detail. This was very helpful as a first time visitor. All of our food came out in a timely manner. We really enjoyed the Wagyu dumplings, spicy edamame and the shrimp tempura roll. There was a mix up with some drinks and the staff handled it very well! Overall great experience and we will be back again!

    The black cod was outstanding. The nigiri, miso soup, and crispy rice with salmon was fine. Fantastic staff and service.

    Our waitress was awesome. The menu slightly lacked the quality of other nobu locations and was good but not great. The staff saw from open table that it was our anniversary and brought us a very nice dessert. Overall good experience.
