My wife and I had an amazing experience at Nobu celebrating our 8th year anniversary. From the moment we arrived, everything felt special. The atmosphere, food, service, and attention to detail were all incredible. The entire evening felt elegant and memorable, and the staff made us feel genuinely welcomed and appreciated. What stood out the most was how much effort was made to make our anniversary special. It wasn’t just a dinner — it felt like an experience we’ll remember for a long time. We’re truly grateful to everyone at Nobu for making such an important night for us so beautiful. We will definitely be coming back!

Top tier dining experience. Went for a wedding anniversary dinner and the care and attention of the entire staff made it feel like a very special and curated intimate experience well worth the $$$$. Food was delicious - we went with recommendations from the staff and ordered a la carte so that we could make a show at msg after dinner. Plan to go back with a larger group bc the experience was that grand. Highly recommend.

Everything was and always is perfect. The restaurant is run like a well oiled machine so the service is outstanding with happy servers. Will was perfect last night. The food is always excellent which is why the restaurant is booked every night. The noise level is festive and still so comfortable to have a conversation. Finally, it’s very NY. The patrons are from the neighborhood, this is not a tourist spot.

It was incredible! First, the views are incredible. It’s why I booked it in the first place but pics don’t do it justice. I was in NYC for my mom’s 62nd birthday and it was her first time in NYC, no one made it special except Manhatta. 4 different people told her Happy Birthday + her name before we even got to the table. They also had a handwritten card for her. Staff was knowledgable & personable. They very clearly love their jobs & the restaurant does not do service, they do better! They show true hospitality.

Excellent all around !!! EXCELLENT: the food, the service, the ambience, it’s a beautiful restaurant with a lovely large outdoor patio for Lite bites and drinks. I love Metropolis by Marcus Samuelson and I bet you will too to see more info and photos. Please find my review on Yelp. But, you should definitely enjoy at least one meal here and you will probably want to come back as soon as possible because the food is absolutely delicious.
