Nobu Atlanta

"1. We visited on Sunday evening, and there were a lot of people, but it was not full. We had to wait a long time for food. We ordered 3 seafood and 2 mushroom soups. They brought 3 mushroom and 2 spicy. The 2 mushroom soups were lukewarm. The manager's explanation was that the mushroom soups were made first. Our friend had to wait an extra 10 minutes for his seafood soup and ate it alone after everyone else was done eating. 2. We ordered a cocktail and had to remind the server about it after 20-30 minutes of waiting. We got it soon after. 3. The food was good but definitely not worth the price. We constantly had to look for waitresses for small requests. 4. We were dining and meanwhile at the bar right next to the dining room (no walls), people were yelling while watching sports, so it was really loud and hard to have conversations. 5. We ordered desserts and tea. We were told 3 teas would be enough for 5 people. They brought 2 tea pots and claimed one teapot was 2 orders worth. We looked inside the pots and they had the same amount of liquid and teabags (2). 6. The manager came and apologized about the situation with the soups, but was very reluctant to concede any other issues. Overall, a very expensive, yet disappointing evening for my friends and I. We will not be back. The Atlanta Nobu is a disgrace to the brand name. Update: emailed the restaurant as per the below request and received no answer. In line with the rest of the service."

"I was very pleased with our experience. For me it’s one of those restaurants I’d go to for a birthday, date, first time experience, but not on a regular basis. For my first time i expected it was going to be expensive. I’ve heard lots of reviews of this restaurant mainly all positive so I had to see for myself. So glad we got to try it out. Beautiful restaurant, food was upscale and delicious. Our server Jeffrey was very knowledgeable and made excellent suggestions. We thoroughly enjoyed everything we ordered. I definitely recommend if you want to experience the cuisine. Just look at menu before you go it’s definitely not cheap but definitely worth a try. The black truffle risotto was the star so creamy and delicious. The drinks were just okay. My sister had the cod i think didn’t get a photo but whatever sauce it had it was very good. All the sauces were different and so good. I definitely would love to go back and try some other entrees."

"Nobu is always a to go restaurant for us. It is a high level restaurant without a doubt, therefore expectations are always high. I enjoyed Tirodito but I wish the lemon juice was not that dominant which suppressed the taste of the fish. I wasn’t expecting the octopus being fried, thumbs down here. I know we say “what else we can fry” in the US but octopus is great grilled, just go to a small Greek island to taste it, or I loved the way they do in the restaurant in Calle Cuba in Havana where they serve the grilled octopus in a bowl with chili pepper and lots of olive oil. Desserts were delicious as usual."

"Incredibly delicious meal. The pace of service could have been a little faster for my taste, but I understand most of the folks dining at NOBU don’t want to get in and out quickly. The drinks are also out of this world. If you’re quibbling over the price in your review, clearly you’re better served going to the food court in the mall next door."
