Impeccable service and brilliant dishes! And the views weren't so bad either 😁 Our server, Erika, was so sweet and thoughtful, and very efficient! Chef Tex is rocking the kitchen with such creative offerings using local ingredients 😋 I love visiting Nobu restaurants and trying their specials, as well as the Nobu classics 😋 Chef Tex's specials were outstanding! Dreaming about visiting again soon 💫🤞🏻💫

Not the best sushi in the world. Classic for Nobu. The views are amazing though and the staff very friendly.
