Nobu is our favorite restaurant worldwide. Nobu 57th St. in NYC is our favorite Nobu! The staff creates golden memories! Our recent experiences introduced us to Brittany in the lounge, a master at her craft of service. In addition to the dishes that call us back, she made great suggestions that are now on our "Next Trip List". My granddaughter and I had so much fun the first night that we returned the following night. We were having such a good time in the crowded lounge that a lady stopped at our table on the way out and told us her group had been watching us laughing and wanted us to know it was great seeing a grandmother/grandchild having such a great time together. Although Brittany was busy giving 1st Class Service to everyone, she insisted that she take a picture of us to remember that time.
Other times we have had memorable at the sushi bar, watching the melody of creation. Although we are vegetarians, our favorite dishes include Japanese Wagyu Steak, which I'm embarrassed to say is worth crossing the line. Black Cod w/Miso is a dish we discovered in Nobu Nassau and is perfection every time! Their Tuna Tataki is the best we have ever had. The sushi is great, especially if you are watching it being made. One of the new dishes Brittany introduced us to is Crispy Rice w/Tuna, little cubes of crispy rice on a stick, which is dipped in sauce, then smeared with tuna, very different and fun to eat. We ALWAYS have Caramel Soba Cha Bar for desert. It is unforgettably delicious! Since ordering it the first time, we have never been able to try any of the others. It's much like Nobu 57th Street. Once experienced, it is hard to try any other restaurant. It keeps calling us back!
