Good experience. Food was delicious, service was almost perfect, despite accidentally writing “Happy Birthday” instead of “Happy Anniversary”. The Nobu Experience was very much worth every penny. Drinks were indeed some of the best cocktails I’ve ever had.

This is my third visit to Ocean Prime. The service is very consistent of the customer service, very impressive. The server was excellent, when I requested more ginger for my sushi. The waiters can be uplifting with more cheering "glad to have you"opening. Only one out of three of my prior waiters was cheerful with a smile and made some recommendations. By the way the African American lady a waitress with such great character, she was awsome.
