    Excellent! Excellent!! Excellent! I mean the views!! Does it get any better?? On the food side, you always know what you are getting at Nobu but our experience at this location was beyond excellent because of our server! Arisa was AMAZING! She knew her stuff from cocktails to food to specials of the day to desserts! She was attentive and polite and professional! She is the perfect server! (and this comes from a previous server and trainee for high end restaurants) I loved her! On the food side we ordered a lot of items as there were 6 of us, edamame, rock shrimp, tuna nigiri, salmon nigiri, yellowtail hamachi, spicy tuna crispy rice, soft shell crab roll, tuna roll, the special they had of Amberjack with shaved truffles! ( so good!!) and black cod miso of course!! For dessert we had the yummiest Xurros and a whiskey cream something or other… everything was outstanding! I cannot wait to go back!

    This is one of our favorite restaurants. Our waiter was fantastic, with a thorough knowledge of food options, and ultimately selling us on the prefix meal. This was Valentine’s Day, so very special. The food here is phenomenal. We had numerous dishes, including Wagyu, steak, sashimi, sushi, oysters, and a great dessert. Highly recommend.

    Usually love Nobu, but this last time, the food was not up to par. Food quality not worth the price tag.

    We’ve dined at Nobu in NYC but it’s our first time here in NB. Service is lacking. The reception was indifferent and unwelcoming. Our server asked us if we wanted to start with a cold or hot dish without even giving us the menu. We had to ask for it! Our server were quick to take our dishes even though we weren’t quite done with them. Weird.

    Our service was fantastic and the food was over the top good. Definitely a special occasion place due to the pricing, but worth it every once in a while.

    Only writing this as the service provided by Chris was extremely pleasant. We aren’t the richest couple on the block and Nobu was a celebratory visit for our anniversary and our server made us feel so welcome and guided us through the dishes depending on our interest. Really felt like we were in good hands and weren’t being looked down on like some higher end places tend to do (looking at you maestros). My fiance and I were very very happy with the dinner and the recommendations Chris provided. In a food note, a lot of the sushi and sashimi dishes leaned on yuzu/citrusy bases, so make sure to lean on the servers recommendations if you’d like to try a bit of everything. We will definitely return to try the wagyu or the chefs omikase.
