The service, atmosphere, and cocktails were outstanding. The food was a solid “good.” We had the tasting menu. I expected something special by choosing that option, something I hadn’t ever had, something that would take me out of my comfort zone, but instead it was very standard. The food was all good, just unimaginative.

Fourth time eating at a Nobu (twice before in Miami and once in Vegas) and this might have been the best experience yet. Everything was delicious - toro carpaccio, ribeye with truffle butter, yellowtail jalapeño roll, lobster tacos, sea bass, kakigori (dessert, ridiculous good). Service was on point. Really just a perfect meal honestly.

Underwhelming and average experience. First time at the world famous Nobu. Server was doing the bare minimum, food was average at best. Nothing to write home about and I wouldn't see myself going out of my way in fact I feel like there wouldn't be much reason to return. I've been to numerous other sushi spots, Matsu, Sugarfish, Uchi, Sushi Den and have always walked away with an appreciation for the overall experience.

I love sushi; however, when recipes are done to say, “See, we are different..” they should be comparably tasty, alas, we found it just average. Considering a $400+ price tag, it should be exquisite. In addition, the view on the water is excellent, yet the ambiance was just short of a lucky strike, the noise level was disturbing to say the very least. It seemed they were trying for the “California Sushi bar” in the 90's. In fact, the staff was goofing around as much as the patrons. Service was rushed, so much so, they forgot to take drink orders... Now, that being said, I've been there three times, with this being the first time inside the restaurant, usually, outside along the dock was a more serene situation, but notably slower service.

We went for our 1 year wedding anniversary. The food was great and the staff was super nice. The table next to us was a little loud, but that is not at the fault of the restaurant.

Although expensive, extraordinary quality of individual items, well trained wait staff, high numbers of support staff, excellent facility design; all place Nobu at a class of its own.

I don’t understand what the fuss is about. The food is good, not great. It is especially disappointing considering how much more expensive it is than other sushi restaurants with higher quality and fresher fare. (So far $700 spent on pretty forgettable fare).Also, why does the soup taste burnt? It is just clear broth with things in it. The first time I went it was my favorite thing but this time it was burned? But also very bland.How is that even possible? It is very confusing. At least now I have a nice mystery to consider, I guess.Waitstaff is great, atmosphere is nice, and food presentation is nice. But the food is just “fine”.

Nobu was awesome. Server was amazing. Help guide us and make decisions on some menu items. Some must have items are the Crispy Rice w/ Spicy Tuna, Artichoke salad, King Crab Tenpura Amuza, Prime Ribeye (sub Filet) w/ Truffle butter, Dover sole and Date cake! 10/10

First the service was amazing, then the food made to perfection. The vibes were great had a live DJ, was able to sit outside and not be cold because they had outside heater that actually work lol.
