    What an enormous disappointment! We were expecting an upscale dining experience and first class service. The small dining room is overshadowed by large TV’s which give the restaurant the feel of a sports bar. In our case, they were broadcasting Sunday Night Football. Not exactly romantic. When we arrived at 5:30 PM, the place was practically empty. We were directed to the worst table - right next to the bar along a path of travel. Politely, we asked to be seated next to the window and were told those are “reserved for VIP’s” which evidently we were not. We asked the hostess to check with the manager who apparently concurred. The reservation was made nearly a month in advance and was to celebrate a very special birthday. Unfortunately, the hostess handled the interaction so poorly, we found ourselves feeling offended and not at all interested in staying, We left and instead had a fantastic experience at the nearby La Quinta Cliffhouse. They treated us like VIP’s and despite being very busy made sure we had a table we were happy with.

    Great place and amazing food experience. It has become ridiculously over priced now that is running over $250 a person. Better value else where.

    The service was the best part of our experience and we rated it as 3. It was spotty. We were there about 30 minutes before our drink order was taken. The food was unextraordinary, too sugary and uninspired. The ambiance was also a disappointment, being more of a sports bar than a contemporary high end Japanese restaurant. The cost was high based on all of the above.

    A Truly Exceptional Dining Experience Nobu at Indian Wells is nothing short of spectacular. From the moment you walk in, you’re embraced by the restaurant’s warm ambiance, modern yet inviting design, and an undeniable sense of sophistication. Every bite of their exquisite menu—from the classic Yellowtail Jalapeño to the Black Cod Miso—showcases culinary excellence. What truly sets this location apart, however, is the unparalleled hospitality. General Manager Natalia deserves a standing ovation. Her professionalism and genuine warmth were palpable as she greeted every guest with a smile, ensuring everyone felt special and valued. Natalia’s ability to create a welcoming atmosphere while maintaining impeccable service standards is remarkable. She interacted with each table personally, effortlessly balancing attentiveness and respect for your dining experience. The entire staff mirrored her energy, making the experience all the more seamless and enjoyable. It’s rare to find such a perfect blend of world-class cuisine and exceptional service, but Nobu Indian Wells, with Natalia leading the charge, has truly mastered it. I can’t recommend this place enough. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or just indulging in a fantastic meal, Nobu Indian Wells will exceed your expectations in every way.

    Amazing, as always. Our server may have been having a bad night, but she was still great. The server who took over for her was exceptional as were the hosts, bussers and expeditors.

    I recently dined at Nobu with my wife. Food was good, bartenders were good. My disappointment was with the choice of Japanese dishes in the food menu. Most of the choices were glorified appetizers charged at entree prices. If you come to Nobu on an empty stomach, you’ll be disappointed here. I was better off dining at Benihana, Hibachi or other Japanese restaurants. Sorry.
