   We are semi regulars at Nabuki, meaning we go once a month or so. We found on this trip, the service was not it's usual top notch. We sat in the bar and it was not packed, but it was busy. We were sat immediately, waited about 5-10 minutes for someone to take our drink order. We then ordered a couple of apps, which one came out quickly, and one did not...The waiter came back and asked "if he could get us anything else" and we told him that our other app didn't come out and that we would like to order dinner. He took our order, entered it into the system, and 3 minutes later our 2nd app came out...clearly, he didn't enter it the first time. This was minor glitch and we were enjoying the slower pace, it was just unusual for Nabuki. There was a Chicago Bulls player sitting in the bar and it appears the staff was a bit star struck by his presence, which may have been enough to throw the staff off their normal game....All in all, the food was it's normal great, prices are what you expect, and the atmosphere is very upbeat. We will continue to visit Nabuki, and I will recommend it accordingly.

   We’ve been going to Nabuki regularly for years. Current hostess staff service level is poor. They act like we have never been there.

   Hi, Maria, Thank you for your feedback. We truly value you & your family as longtime guests of Nabuki, & we always aim to make your experience feel welcoming & familiar. I understand there was a mix-up regarding your preferred seating in the bar area. When your guests arrived ahead of you, our host seated them in the dining room since there were no specific notes in your reservation indicating a seating preference. Had we known, we would have been more than happy to accommodate you in the bar. We're always happy to make note of preferences for future visits to ensure everything goes smoothly. Please don't hesitate to let us know when booking & we'll do our best to make it happen. We look forward to seeing you again soon, Nabuki

   Our first time dining at Nabuki . We were seated promptly upon arrival. Drinks were ordered and brought quickly. The appetizers were the star of the night with the jalepaneos amazing. My wife ordered salmon which was overcooked, two of us ordered scallops and were disappointed in the mashed potatoes they were served on ( rice would have been preferable) and our fourth ordered noodles which she enjoyed. If we go again we would order only appetizers.
