"As the only non-Atlanta-based celebrity on the list, Robert De Niro probably knew his Nobu chain at Phipps would attract a herd/gaggle/colony of celebrities (what’s the collective noun for celebrities, btw?). Similar to the sushi chain's other locations, A- to Z-listers come out for $30 sashimi, $50 small plates, and sleek interiors that mix textures like wood and onyx. When we’re done identifying the who’s who of people who walked in with Jermaine Dupri or that person in the corner fake-trying to lay low in her fur coat and humongous Dior sunglasses, we’re ordering the iconic sweet miso-glazed cod, which barely needs chewing. Make the most of your meal (and money) by skipping the sushi and sticking to the hot and cold plates near the front of the menu, where you’ll find the most flavor." - nina reeder, juli horsford, demarco williams, jacinta howard
"Making a first-time festival appearance as a musician favorite, serving sashimi chirashi bowls and rock shrimp tempura — raw-preparation and tempura techniques are both represented in the selectable dishes." - Dianne de Guzman
"Hosting a special tasting event on May 17 from 6:30 to 9 p.m. that will include appearances by chef Nobu Matsuhisa alongside the executive culinary team from the East Coast; tickets are $295 per person and include all food and drinks, with an optional larger package that bundles the event ticket with a discounted hotel stay and brunch." - Henna Bakshi
"You probably could wear your snowman pajama pants to this Buckhead Japanese restaurant, but the see-and-be-seen energy promises you won’t want to." - jacinta howard
"When we’re in the mood to live our best lives, we head to Nobu Atlanta behind Buckhead’s Phipps Plaza, where we can splurge on $30 sashimi and $50 small plates and pretend we’ve got a few commas in our account. Like the others in the popular upscale brand, Atlanta’s Nobu hotel and restaurant largely delivers the same fancy-pants (they’re tapered pants) experience you expect would be worthy of several name drops in Drake lyrics—A- to Z-list sightings, sleek interiors that mix textures like wood and onyx, and bold dishes like their iconic sweet miso-glazed cod, which barely needs chewing. Make the most of your meal (and money) by skipping the sushi and sticking to the hot and cold plates near the front of the menu, where you’ll find the most flavor." - nina reeder, demarco williams, jacinta howard
