“Nobu downtown was exceptional. They replaced my black cod with no hesitation as it was really unusually fatty. Serving staff were amazing to be honest and a chef came out to apologise which was a touch embarrassing but a very nice thing to do. Food is exceptional as well.”

replying to u/virtual_adam: 1) I don’t think this restaurant is targeted to those who have extensive experience tasting the cuisines you have 2) I’ve said it again and again on this sub - nothing good comes out of these types of “replay the hits” restaurants that just keep everything static night after night with 95% of the tables ordering the same 4 dishes What interest does the chef have in dinner service while serving his 1500th curried goat
“I’m growing to be hateful towards these “so called fine dining establishments” like Tatiana’s, Nobu or Bondst that serve underwhelming food for the price that’s comparable to the echelon of the actual fine dining.”
