Tragic start to NYD considering the Bourbon St attack. Brennan’s opened late, we called to confirm our reservation too. Cindy & Sheldon were great. We went w/ Sheldon’s recommendations - Eggs Carpaccio (our fav), Oysters, Eggs St. Charles + Owen’s Scotch Egg. Definitely, we did the Banana Foster. The Musicians were a great addition. We had a better experience here vs Mr. B’s Bistro last night.

This was our first experience at Nobu New Orleans, but we’ve eaten at other Nobu restaurants before. The New Orleans restaurant lives up to the reputation established in other cities. Food was delicious and service was impeccable. Two negatives: a little too much noise from the casino and parking. We had to pay $40 to park in the garage after spending over $300 for dinner. Parking should be comped if you dine at the restaurant.

We ate in the bar which can be noisy, but we had a nice little corner table which felt intimate yet was still part of the bar experience. We had the wagyu burger with fries and the brussel sprouts. Both were excellent!
