  • Oh my goodness...where do I begin? I guess I should be positive first, the restaurant inside is beautiful and sexy. The view is beautiful. The music and lighting are perfect and based on all of this we expected Nobu but what we got was horrific and worse than something you'd get at the airport. For starters it took an hour to get our oysters which smelled like a fish tank. I ate them because I was starving and my husband ate 5 out of the 6 saying the last one smelled too bad to eat. The challenge now was getting someone to clear the plates. The smell began to overwhelm us and we resorted to survival tactics taught to us by our cats...burry it! We started burying the empty oysters with whatever leftover garnish we could find in an attempt to save ourselves. In addition, it was also freezing in the restaurant so we had to drink hot tea in an effort to not get frost bite and getting hot water seemed to be problematic for them. I'd like to add that I'm really confused as to why places in Pittsburgh can't get their air-conditioning set to a normal temperature...meat locker is NOT a setting. Finally once the hot water and sparkling water came the server left and he left his tray on a chair at our table. After about 15 minutes my husband stood up and opened the bottle of sparkling water himself, pretended he was a server and very properly poured my sparkling water. While it was highly entertaining and I was laughing it really wasn't funny. Next up were some handrolls we ordered without rice, guess what? Yep...all 6 were filled with rice so we sent those back. Another 20 minutes rolls by and our octopus sashimi and salmon sashimi arrive, both items are cut waaaay too thick. Eating a thicker cut of salmon sashimi is at least possible and not completely awful (the salmon was good quality and fresh but was just cut too thick) but octopus cut improperly is an entirely different game. My husband described it as a chew toy for the cats or the equivalent of shoving an entire pack of old Bubble Yum into your mouth and it's so hard and so chewy that it makes your jaw hurt. So that was spit into a napkin after he got lock jaw, let's just call this an EPIC FAIL. After 2.5 hours, the only other edible item was the Thunderbolt roll which they did make riceless and with soy paper for us. Let me just say that I really want this place to be good, I really want it. I'm hoping that my review will actually propel them into greatness so that I can go back and enjoy the gorgeous remodel and view and actually eat and enjoy dinner. Needless to say we both left basically hungry and they were kind and took care of our bill due to the comedy of errors BUT my stomach was on the fritz that night and the next day. I wasn't full blown sick but something was off and my bets are on the smelly oysters for causing that disturbance. If you want to see the remodel and the view, eat upstairs...we've had great meals in the main dining room.
