    Food was excellent! We were there for lunch with an old friend we hadn’t seen in a long time and stayed over 3 hrs. There was no hint of wanting us to leave despite that we were the last. We only had salad and the lamb riblets which are always delicious along with wine that the waiter recommended. He let us try it before serving it. We also had dessert which was delicious chocolate cake with sour cherry ice cream and also hazelnut honey ice cream which was also delicious.

    It was our first time at Nobu, and we weren't sure what to expect. We were impressed by both the food, and the service. The food quality was amazing. Each dish they brought out was like a little piece of art. The flavors were varied, unique, and delicious. It was one of the most enjoyable meals I can remember. Every Nobu employee we encountered was very friendly and professional. Our server, Andy, did a great job of guiding us through the overwhelming choices on the menu. "Gonzo" Gonzales made sure our drinks were topped up, and dishes were cleared away at just the right moment, without interrupting our conversation. This is a high-end dining experience, and priced accordingly. If you love food, and want a truly amazing experience, give Nobu Palo Alto a try.
