Very good food and the service was good and especially the dessert was bomb!, definitely will come back again!

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!

I had a very nice dinner on a Thursday evening. The entire staff was super friendly and welcoming. I enjoyed my mocktail very much and of course, the sushi was exquisite.

Chef Mitsu and his staff created an extraordinary experience for our birthday dinner. Each course came as a surprising and joyful gift. We could not have been happier!

The perfect pre-race carb load! We came to Blue Ribbon Bar & Grill in the Financial District looking for a solid dinner before the big day, and it was even better than we expected. The teriyaki chicken was perfectly cooked, juicy, and full of flavor. The salmon with white rice was outstanding: fresh, beautifully prepared, and exactly the clean, satisfying meal you want before a long run. Generous portions, great quality, and a welcoming atmosphere. If you're in FiDi and need a reliable, delicious meal, this is the place. We'll definitely be back. Highly recommended!
