    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.

    We enjoyed our experience very much at this establishment. The decor was very nice and cozy and we very much enjoyed the Christmas music playing while we enjoyed our meal on the day after Christmas. Great experience and impeccable service.

    Went for the Christmas Day Brunch and Dinner buffett as something different for achristmas this year. The food was great. Only complaint was that they needed to have larger plates of some of the featured meats so they didn't empty so quickly. They also had items from the kitchen that were walked around and offered by staff frequently. The wait staff and management team were incredibly attentive and friendly. The noise level was very loud, but that should be expected when a place is that busy, especially with a lot of families or groups of friends sitting around several tables. Overall, a great choice as a deviation from a normal Christmas breakfast.

    We were greeted with a big smile at the front stand and promptly seated. This vibrant spot featured fresh, well-prepared sushi and an array of American and Italian selections. Every dish we selected was excellent. Though the place was packed and the noise level was predictably high, I had requested a quiet table when reserving and we were seated in a private booth complete with a door and coat hooks - the closest thing to our own dining room. The star of the evening was was our server Brian S. He was cheerful, informative, professional, welcoming, and everything one wants to insure a good experience when dining out. Kudos to The Hamilton - everyone got everything right!
