I went out to see what the hype about Nobu was. Everyone said it was the best sushi. So what started out as a night of excitement turned out into one of the worst nights dining out ever. I love sushi. I love to eat great japanese food and nobu had its hype. But starting from the reservation to paying the check the waitress and hostess were both rude. They had this snobby attitude that it was a please just to be able to get in and eat at their restaurant. I work at a restaurant myself and that isn't how a customer should be treated. Well besides that the food was at most okay. The portions are SMALL but that is to be expected from a japanese cuisine. The sashimi was at least fresh. But there was just something off about it. The food quality was so bland. Nothing exciting for a fusion restaurant. The black cod was good i gotta say, kinda sweet but good. The gingerbread dessert was dry. I thought it was old or something. Not enjoyable at all. I wouldn't recommend nobu to anyone. There are better places to spend your money.

Pros: None

Cons: Bad service, bad food, too expensive
