    A brilliant food and hospitality experience. We sat at the counter and it really was 10/10. We love counter seats to get an insight to the kitchen and the team - this was a brilliant insight with a wonderful team.

    We truly enjoyed our evening last night. The Nobu old fashioned was phenomenal and the sushi and mini tacos and spicy tiny sticky rice was top notch! Ambiance and service was perfect.

    Made anniversary dinner reservations weeks in advance. We were promptly seated despite arriving 20 minutes early. Very extensive beverage list including some delicious Italian beers. The roasted beets and octopus salad starters were delicious. Our entrees, the candele Genovese and the Lobster pasta with substituted homemade GF fettuccine were both excellent. Service was quick and attentive despite the considerable Sunday evening dinner crowd. A Torta Caprese, espresso, and an unexpected on the house shot of Lemoncello for each of us for our special occasion was a wonderful way to end a very memorable dinner. We cannot wait to go back!
