I had dinner at Nobu Next Door with my boyfriend for his birthday and had a wonderful time. We have been to Nobu many times but wanted to go to Next Door to try the exclusive raw bar there. The raw plate we had included live octopus, shrimp, sashimi, ceviche, and some of the freshest oysters and clams I've had in the city. It really exceeded our expectations. We had several of the retaurant's signature dishes after that, along with a delicious bottle of riesling. Everything was top shelf and full of flavor. The server was knowledgable and really helped to guide us throughout the meal. It's easy to see why the restaurant is so popular and every bit as good as regular Nobu. In fact, I'll go to Next Door next time so I can have some more of those oysters.
Pros: raw bar, great food, delicious wine
