    Nobu never disappoints, and this location truly exceeded our expectations! We dined here to celebrate my husband’s birthday, and it was an unforgettable experience. We've been to so many Nobu locations, but this one stood out thanks to the incredible service from Damion. He went above and beyond, ensuring every detail was perfect. He was especially attentive and patient when accommodating my son’s allergies, which we deeply appreciated. We enjoyed all of our favorite dishes, and as always, everything was flawless—from the fresh yellowtail sashimi to the iconic Waygu. To top it all off, the chef surprised us with a beautiful birthday dessert that made the evening even more special.
