It was my wife's 24 birthday, both of us are fond of Japanese food and Robert De Niro's movies. So we decided to celebrate in Nobu. We were greeted nicely at the reception. The table that they offered didnt suit us because it was in the middle of two other tables that were about 10 cms away. So we requested and we got a table for 2 at the lower end of the restaurant.
Waiter knew that we are new so he advised a bunch full of dishes that we readily agreed to and found very tasty. The cuisine was very innovative, Fresh Fluke Sashimi was delicious we loved the Seabass , Yellow tail Sashimi with Jalapenos New Style Sashimi, Salmon kelp roll, I dont remember the name of Prawn dish; it was amazing. Food was heavenly.
Waiters and staff were quite nice, their advise and assistance made it easier for us to choose from a broad selection of ALL TASTY stuff.
We were quite prepared to pay a price for the quality, and Nobu didnt disappoint us in this regard too, we paid about $355 for the two of us, in most other restaurants we'd find it a wastage of money, in NOBU we didnt mind at all.
Although we cant afford to go there frequently, we'll surely go there as often as we can, we hope that they maintain the quality of their food and standards of service until then.
Our recommendation: Dont waste your money on the wines in NOBU, they are quite overpriced, you can find similar brands in other places at half rates, in shops 1/4 the price. Spend as much as you can on the food, its worth it, as you wont find the parallel anywhere...
