    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.

    Cocktail selection is great…much variety. Decided to go with a “surprise” menu experience-you give a price limit per person and they bring you courses after asking likes/dislikes. All courses were delicious except for 1, which was just ok. Definitely pricier…but a great experience overall.

    Thanks for the experience at the counter. I enjoyed mocktails and the chef’s menu, particularly the Chilean sea bass in the jalepeno cilantro sauce. Phenomenal sauce. Great service. Outstanding food and drink.
