| - Yummers! Thanks to Chris, our waiter, and their Cucumber Martinis it was one of the more delightful, delectable dinners of recent times.
I attended with a good friend of mine who has ALWAYS raved about their cucumber martinis. Each time I would go out to eat with him at ANY restaurant he would ask for a cucumber martini in hopes of finding a place that could make one half as good as Nobu. He kept failing at that mission. I was made to try each time he got one and always ended up chasing the taste with a glass of Rieslings or whatever I was drinking at the time. I am, by no means, a martini fan. That was until I FINALLY had a cucumber martini at Nobu. If a drink could be described as refreshing and light, this would be the one. I had 3 that night and would've had more if I wasn't in 5" heels and thought I'd break my ankle if my drunky self tripped.
My friend, smartly left the decision of choosing items up to our waiter, Chris, and am I thankful to Chris's knowledge of the menu and checking in with us on what was to our liking and not. From what I remember of the evening we had:
Spicy Miso Lotus Chips with Big Eye Tuna-Delicious
Black cod with miso in a lettuce wrap-Delightful
Yellowtail Sashimi with Jalapeño-Awesome
California Roll-Too full to eat
Some sort of mac & cheese dish with shrimp-Underwhelmed
Not only did I enjoy myself, my food, my company, and my waiter, but it was a great place for people watching. My friend and I spent half the time chatting about topics pertaining to us and the other half commenting on the people we observed and conversations we overheard.
I will DEFININTELY come back to Nobu when in town or when in a city one is located in. Viva la Nobu!
