Hannah was a great server, she went above and beyond to ensure that we enjoyed ourselves and explored the menu and all it had to offer; we liked everything, and we liked anything with salmon it it the least…a bit slimy. If you’re getting a drink from the bar, the Gardener is great with Tequila. The bar isn’t necessarily first come first serve…so don’t get comfy.

Top of the line food and atmosphere. Very busy, so service lagged just a little at times, but still a five star experience.

I’ve been here several times and always had an amazing experience, but this time was pretty awful. The food was great and our server, Jeremy, was great, but the guy who wiped the tables and filled the water glasses was rude from the start. He was upset that I wanted no ice, and then upset that I asked for limes. He said “are you going to need anything else before I walk away this time??” He was generally rude at several other points during our meal. It genuinely ruined our experience. They need better support staff, especially when we’re paying $500 for a meal.

I LOVE Nobu restaurants and this one came in very similar. Our waitress Eva was outstanding and the food was delicious.You can never go wrong with the yellowtail jalapeño sashimi. Eva recommended most of what we tried and it was all really good. For dessert we had the coconut mochi cake with ube ice cream and it was surreal. The attention to detail and service from all the staff is 100/10. Definitely recommend and will come back.

Last night was our first time at the restaurant. Our waiter was very knowledgeable about the history of the restaurant and the food. He suggested that we let him make a menu for our dinner. He inquired about our likes and dislikes and created a wonderful food experience. There were three of us and enjoyed everything we had.
