I was really looking forward to dining here and avoiding the trip to Miami to experience Nobu. Unfortunately, my expectations were a bit too high, and I didn’t research enough before making my reservation. At the moment, the restaurant is located in the hotel lobby in a small, temporary space that lacks the signature ambiance one might expect. I understand this is a short-term setup as they work on securing a permanent location, so I didn’t let that influence my overall impression too much.
One challenge I encountered was the lack of a direct contact number for the restaurant. When I tried to adjust my reservation, I reached the hotel receptionist instead, and the experience was less than welcoming. Additionally, the reservation policy requires a credit card hold, with a $50 per person fee if you cancel less than 48 hours in advance. While I understand the need for such policies, a 48-hour window feels a bit excessive compared to the standard 24 hours I’ve seen elsewhere.
When it comes to the food, I have to admit I was underwhelmed. As someone who frequents fine dining establishments and explores a wide range of cuisines, I expected more. We ordered from various sections of the menu—hot, cold, and sushi—but unfortunately, everything was just average. It didn’t leave the memorable impression I had hoped for.
That said, I do want to highlight our server, Charles, who was an absolute standout. His warm personality, extensive knowledge of the menu, and exceptional service truly elevated the experience.
Overall, I believe there’s potential here, especially once the permanent space is established. However, for now, it didn’t quite meet the mark I associate with the Nobu name.
