    This is one of our favorite restaurants. Our waiter was fantastic, with a thorough knowledge of food options, and ultimately selling us on the prefix meal. This was Valentine’s Day, so very special. The food here is phenomenal. We had numerous dishes, including Wagyu, steak, sashimi, sushi, oysters, and a great dessert. Highly recommend.

    We’ve dined at Nobu in NYC but it’s our first time here in NB. Service is lacking. The reception was indifferent and unwelcoming. Our server asked us if we wanted to start with a cold or hot dish without even giving us the menu. We had to ask for it! Our server were quick to take our dishes even though we weren’t quite done with them. Weird.

    Our service was fantastic and the food was over the top good. Definitely a special occasion place due to the pricing, but worth it every once in a while.

    Only writing this as the service provided by Chris was extremely pleasant. We aren’t the richest couple on the block and Nobu was a celebratory visit for our anniversary and our server made us feel so welcome and guided us through the dishes depending on our interest. Really felt like we were in good hands and weren’t being looked down on like some higher end places tend to do (looking at you maestros). My fiance and I were very very happy with the dinner and the recommendations Chris provided. In a food note, a lot of the sushi and sashimi dishes leaned on yuzu/citrusy bases, so make sure to lean on the servers recommendations if you’d like to try a bit of everything. We will definitely return to try the wagyu or the chefs omikase.

    The ambiance is the draw. Tiny portions for the high price point. The support staff was good about pre-bussing. No refills on ice tea/water? This place is all hype.

    We love Nobu and we’ve been here multiple times this time around our server didn’t seem interested in serving us. We had to flag down the water person multiple times to get any service. Very disappointing.
