    First time and celebrated an anniversary. The food was amazing. There was nothing we didn’t enjoy. Drinks were also very good. Service was partially good. There were a few long delays in visits to our table. As we were celebrating an occasion, we put it in our Reservation. As a result, they surprised us by bringing out an “extra” dessert - with a message written on the plate. We were thankful, but then later shocked to see it on our bill when we didn’t expect or ask for the item. We didn’t raise it as an issue but be aware. Also we had hoped to visit Roja after our meal, but it was standing room only. So another tip for awareness - set a reservation for it too. Overall a wonderful experience. Just a few lessons learned.

    Zoe is #1. She is the reason I return to Nobu DC. I love seeing her and enjoying the conversation, the passionate stories, accepting her recommendations and just embracing her kindness. I’m very blessed and grateful for her friendship. Also I want to recognize Benjamin-he has a lot to offer the world. I hope that he continues to aspire for greatness beyond what the mind can imagine. God’s speed ahead. Thank you all for a great night.
