The original Nobu is in Tribeca in New York City. When my friend suggested we go there for dinner, I was all for it! We had the reservation for one month and the day finally arrived.
We walked in and the ambiance was very warm and inviting, but the hostess area was very cramped. They didn't have any room for more than about 3 people and I felt bad for the diners who were seated close to the front. Our table was in the back of the restaurant, it was a perfect spot. We got the menus and looked around to see if anyone there was famous...and bingo! Adrian Grenier (Vince from Entourage) was seated right next to us! After our giddiness wore off...we were ready to order.
We got a large sake and a bottle of Serenity Merlot. I have to admit...it was definitely the best sake I've ever had (forgot the name, but it was the 3rd from the top) and the Merlot was in my top 3 for the price. Appetizer was edamame and miso soup. The soup was excellent, very well flavored with large pieces of tofu.
Rock Shrimp Tempura
Next came the rock shrimp tempura. It was the highlight of the meal. The shrimp was tossed in a slightly sweet, slightly spicy sauce and was perfectly cooked. For my meal I had many different pieces of sushi, and that was what I was least impressed with. It was very average. If I go to Nobu again, I will get an entree and more than likely forgo their sushi selections. If you're in NYC and happen to be staying near a Nobu, you should go, but skip the regular sushi and go for the gusto!
