Nice atmosphere, trendy and the food was good. Small portions were to be expected given this place is trying to position itself as a 5-star, famous in-house chef type restaurant. But this is where Nobuo ultimately fails - if you want to come on at this price point and position at the top, you've got to nail it on all levels. Service here was amateur at best and while top notch, the food wasn't as good as what you'd expect were you to go to a similar level restaurant in LA or NYC. Nobuo is a good four star restaurant priced and positioned as a five star experience - it's good but I wouldn't go back.
