I wish I could give this place 2 1/2 stars. I think that's more fitting. I've been there twice and the first time I had a pretty good experience. I went with a couple of girl friends, and we took our time, ordered several different things, and even had a birthday dessert brought to us. I remember our waitress being EXCELLENT and I don't recall it being crowded or noisy. \n\nThis past weekend, I went again, and things were a bit different. The sushi we ordered was not much better than cheaper places I've been and definitely not my favorite. I don't see where it was worth all the hype. If you're looking to try something new and out of the box, I think this is a good place to do it but if you're a fan of the traditional sushi that you can find anywhere, this is probably not the place. \n\nThis will most likely be the last time I go to Nobu...not because I HATED the food, but because I really dislike the clientele. Too many snooty drunk people, talking way too loudly. I couldn't even have a conversation with my friends. The waiter had a very heavy accent which made it near impossible to understand what he was saying. Not really his fault, but because of the loud groups of people nearby, it was pretty unbearable. \n\nLike my friend said, it was just \"ok.\" I was expecting more and walked away more annoyed than anything.
