    Had such a wonderful experience. The staff is very attentive and on point with knowledge of the food and wines. Brings out the courses perfectly as they reset between courses. Never had to ask for refills or needed to ask for anything. The ambiance is romantic and comfortable. We shared the lamb Rib-lets and salmon caviar belinis which were perfectly prepared and the portions were perfect so that we were not too full to enjoy our entrees. I had the Salmon and my wife had the filet. Again cooked and portions were perfect. Our server suggested the Sancerre paired with the my Salmon and the Faust Cabernet for my wife. Both were great wines that neither of us had enjoyed before. We will definitely return to dine again very soon.

    It was our first time at Nobu, and we weren't sure what to expect. We were impressed by both the food, and the service. The food quality was amazing. Each dish they brought out was like a little piece of art. The flavors were varied, unique, and delicious. It was one of the most enjoyable meals I can remember. Every Nobu employee we encountered was very friendly and professional. Our server, Andy, did a great job of guiding us through the overwhelming choices on the menu. "Gonzo" Gonzales made sure our drinks were topped up, and dishes were cleared away at just the right moment, without interrupting our conversation. This is a high-end dining experience, and priced accordingly. If you love food, and want a truly amazing experience, give Nobu Palo Alto a try.
