We had the best day at the Nobu brunch. I wasn’t expecting it to be as amazing as it was. The food was outstanding. Everything was made better by the amazing Victoria. We’re already booking again. Yum.

Everything about this restaurant was fantastic. It was my boyfriend’s birthday dinner and we had an amazing time. As soon as we entered we were warmly greeted and sat. The server was amazing and personable. All the recommendations were delicious. Each dish was brought out with perfect timing and the runners explained each dish with care. As someone who worked in restaurant industry this was what all restaurants should aspire to be. Thank you for a great experience.

The ayce brunch experience is honestly just okay. For the price I would have expected more variety, especially of fresh fish. Nothing really stood out or tasted particularly fresh. There was nothing that felt “high end” about the experience. It was also VERY loud inside the restaurant.
It was fine for a one time experience, but there are plenty of other ayce sushi menus in the district that are cheaper and better quality.

Our experience was phenomenal for the 2nd time. Victoria was our server tonight and absolutely rocked it! extremely knowledgeable on the menu and pairings, had great suggestions, and was so much more than just transactional with us. she expressed toward the end of her shift that she was on a double today, with her enthusiasm and energy all night you’d have never known it! thank you victoria for making date night so awesome!
edit- we had the toro & scallion roll, beef tenderloin toban yaki, toro tartare with caviar, crispy rice & tuna (not pictured), wagyu dumplings(not pictured), oysters with nobu sauces(not pictured), and chocolate soba cha cream puff for dessert!

I asked for a dirty martini with blue cheese olives and instead received a dry martini (tasted kind of sweet) with regular olives. The server didn’t come around for quite some time so my drink was half way gone when he came back. It wasn’t worth the effort. Leaving a bad review is more convenient. Get it right next time. I won’t be back. This also affected his tip. Don’t charge me $24 for a drink and then get it wrong. It’s not about the money but rather about the expected level of service at “NOBU.”
