Ventured out of our comfort zone, to the Nobu. Someone told us about the Wagyu beef which started us on our journey. Bottom line -- the layers of ingredients was simple but amazing. We typically eat a light dinner, so we knew we wouldn't break the bank ... but you could if you wanted. We started with the cucumber salad. Simple and delicious. The Wagyu beef tacos were a great way to taste this delicacy. (A full steak, no matter how good, isn't within our preferred diet.) Onto the chicken skewers. This was our "main" course. The chicken was surprisingly fatty, which is a turn-off for me, but the spicy sauce got me through it. My favorite item were the tempura vegetables. Perfect. Lastly, the waiter suggested the Bento Box desert. A flourless chocolate cake with white chocolate syrup oozing from it, fresh berries and green tea ice cream. We don't usually have desert right after dinner, but this sounded so outrageous we had to try it. Had we not had the dessert I would have felt the meal okay. The dessert put the whole meal into a class of its own.
Our waiter moved the rating from 3 to 5. He was one of the best waiters we've ever had. Not only was Matthew patient with novices, but very knowledgeable and very smooth on suggesting different items (the Bento Box was one he suggested). He recognized our simple palate and cheerfully went with it. Thanks much!
