Kind of noisy but like a busy/cool to be there type of vibe. Don’t sleep on the buffalo chicken dumplings-pricey but well worth it. The cavatelli were rich, bursting with flavor from the sausage and mushrooms. Was full but indulged in the sticky toffee pudding-rich and buttery. Expensive and the portions looks small, but the food is rich and quality is outstanding. Great place to go for a special dinner.

Nobu offers delicious food, exceptional service, and the best lychee martini. However, the reception staff’s aloof and unwelcoming demeanor often leaves much to be desired. One can’t help but wonder who they think they are, given their role—likely earning a modest wage—yet carrying an air of superiority.

Food was great, wine was great, the waiters were very attentive, a variety of breads and breadsticks in the bread basket was nice. I was fortunate that they still had Ragu sauce (Sunday sauce, it said on the menu they tend to run out on weekends) and it was fantastic Place was decorated beautifully for the holiday season. Overall five stars.

Had an amazing experience for our anniversary. Servers were on point and never hovered or crowded; very polite and attentive. Food was mind blowing, especially the bibimbap and steak selections we ordered. Overall a must try for any meat-lover, and will definitely visit again.

We had a great experience at Beauty and Essex! We ordered 8 items for 5 people and had plenty of food. Highlights were apple and kale salad, tomato soup and grilled cheese dumplings, strip steak and mushroom ravioli. Service was fantastic and ambience was fabulous. Expensive but worth it!
