I must admit, I have not been to a Nobu that I didn't like. So yes, I am a fan of this high-end Japanese chain restaurant. We had dinner here this past Friday night. Unfortunately I am not fond of the hotel that it's located in... which is barely a step up from a Hooters-type ambiance with the class-less tatted out clientele and their hoochie mama's attached to their hips. Well back in the day Hard Rock was the place to go to... but that was years ago. So the fact that one has to step foot into the Hard Rock Casino to get into the entrance of this restaurant... should really get a minus star for not strategically relocating this at a more ritzy hotel casino like Bellagio or Cosmopolitan.
We started off with cocktails... Lychee martini and a greyhound... can't go wrong there. As for the app...started off with the sea salted warm edemame. I was so hungry, I practically ate all the soy beans. I ordered the yummy Kelp salad and he ordered Hamachi sashimi with Jalepeno... so perfectly fresh with Ponzu sauce or Miso... so good! He ordered the Shrimp with spicy garlic was sinfully delicious... (fried so not a healthy choice). And I ordered the Chilean Sea Bass with dried miso... my all time favorite, which did not disappoint! Salmon, Hamachi and Unagi sushi... small but still so good. AND we ended with yet another cocktail :-) and the Bento Box.... flourless chocholate cake with white chocolate sauce and green tea ice cream... OMG! Amazing dinner with outstanding service. Yes Nobu is expensive but I was fortunate that he was so generous... so not really sure what our bill was... but so worth every bite.
