    This was our first experience at Nobu New Orleans, but we’ve eaten at other Nobu restaurants before. The New Orleans restaurant lives up to the reputation established in other cities. Food was delicious and service was impeccable. Two negatives: a little too much noise from the casino and parking. We had to pay $40 to park in the garage after spending over $300 for dinner. Parking should be comped if you dine at the restaurant.

    This was such an amazing experience with Chef Tu and Vu. They were both so knowledgeable and each piece of fish just kept getting better and better. They paired everything so perfectly and each piece was delicious! We would definitely come back if we are in town.

    Must go. Amazingly fresh and so so delicious. We’ve had omakase all over the world and these are some takes on nigiri that I’ve never tasted before (hard to do!). Wonderful combo of super fresh fish flown in from Japan and local seafood. Can’t recommend more highly- it’s charming and authentic and a great value to boot. Holly and Jose and crew know what they’re doing. ❤️ 🍣

    From the moment we walked in, we knew we were in for an elevated experience. And Morrow Steak did not disappoint. The decor! The atmosphere! THE FOOD! It was, honestly, one of the best dining experiences we’ve EVER had. There’s absolutely no way that we won’t be back. Our server, Glyniss, was so friendly and knowledgeable and made great suggestions! We loved her. One visit has made Morrow Steak our favorite restaurant and we’ve been to hundreds of restaurants in New Orleans alone. We’re telling everyone! Thank you so much! PS: Make sure to save room for the Ube Cheesecake! Thank me later!

    We came in in Christmas Eve as hardly any place was open or had room. Food and service was great (thanks Jesss) — loved all the cuts of meat and different sauces. Happily surprised by the quality. Place itself could use some sprucing up.
