    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.

    The teriyaki tenderloin was not Japanese at all, it tasted like a Turkish kebab, just spicy with chilli and chili powder, it was the worst food I've ever had. The portions were unnecessarily large, probably to suit American tastes, but it's not a problem because you can leave some. However, compared to Japanese culture, it's normal for Japanese people to eat delicious food in small portions. But this is America, so it's not a problem. The interior and waiters were high quality, but the food was terrible. I can confidently say that I will never come here again.

    Bartenders were super friendly. We trusted our incredible server to guide us through our dinner choices, and everything was fantastic, tailored to our tastes, allergies, and restrictions. Her suggestions were well-informed, and her confidence and knowledge inspired our trust. We have never gone wrong at Nobu, but this location stands out and will forever be remembered as the best.
