My son took me to Nobu for the Mothers' Day brunch. I have always heard great things about the restaurant and was so excited to finally go!
Well ... drum roll please! Everything I heard was true and then some! The food was exquisite! They had a cold station with a variety of sushi rolls, sashimi, nigiri, mini poke bowls, refreshing salads, some with a hint of ginger. My o my lol Needless to say after I tried all the hits at the warm stations, I went back to the cold station for more. This section also had very delicate scrambled eggs, bacon and sausage.
Behind the individual stations they had beautiful charcuterie boards with beautiful deli cuts.
There was a station with a barbecued pork on bao buns. The chef at that stations name is Lexxi. The meat looked stunning and I asked her what it was. The excitement she expressed explaining her creation was contagious!!
One of the carvings stations had tenderloin, I think. (No idea what meat, but it was so tender and delicious), with mini roasted potatoes in different sizes and colors. A beautiful presentation but not more amazing than the taste.
One of the stations was all mini seafood dishes. I grabbed one of each since I wanted to try everything. There were these balls on a stick that I fell in love with. I think they were stuffed with octopus surrounded by a soft, creamy center and crispy outside texture. There were shrimp with grits and dishes I did not ask what they were, but loved.
There was another station that I never made it to since I wanted more sushi and to leave room for dessert. I took one of each decadent dessert and cut it in half to share with my son. I can't even tell you my favorite because they were all wonderful and varied!
I guess you know I loved the food. Let's talk about our server, Miguel. What s beautiful personality. He was attentive to our every request but what was even more incredible, is he also knew what we wanted without our asking! He made suggestions about the food, surprised us with awesome drinks and we always had a fresh napkin.
Joel, was not our server but he also came by and asked if we'd like something taken away. I had to mention him too! You could tell he was happy to be of service.
The managers on the floor, checked on us too. I loved Elisa! You could tell she wanted our experience to be unforgettable. The bar manager Maria also came to ask how we were. She was very nice also.
I kind of touched on our drinks. I had a Prosecco with a hint of pineapple juice at the outside bar. It was perfect! I wish I had gotten the bartenders name (he was tall, blonde and very handsome). During brunch I ordered my fave a Lychee Martini.
All in all, it was a delightful experience. I'm looking forward to coming back with friends to enjoy their Sunday brunch.
