I was with a group of 7 other guys and we thought we'd try Nobu on the eve of my buddy's 30th birthday.\n\nIt started off as a \"minus\" experience because the restaurant misplaced our reservation, despite me walking up to the hostess the previous day and making it in person.  But, they seated us right away in the lounge area, so no harm, no foul.\n\nThe ambience was great... the larger-than-expected restaurant had a modern/Japanese vibe.  The service was as to be expected for one of Chef Nobu's restaurants.  Our waitress was knowledgeable and our courses arrived at a perfect pace.\n\nAs for the food... it was nothing short of fantastic.  Having not eaten at a Nobu restaurant before, every dish was a treat.  We all opted for the prix fixe menu.  At $125 it was expensive, but Drew only turns 30 once, so what the heck.  There was a good mix of cold and warm dishes, as well as a few non-fish items.  While it was a great overall meal, I doubt I'd pay that much for that meal again.    \n\nPros:  Food.  Service.  And food.\n\nCons:  Price.
