"Good & Bad"

Dinner at Nobu was supposed to be a highlight of our "acting like a visitor" experience a few weekends ago but turned out to be a disappointment. The food was wonderful, as we expected, but deafening rock music and closely packed tables spoiled the evening.

We had to shout to converse with each other across the small table, and the staff were having trouble understanding orders over the noise. The restaurant was the antithesis of zen-like calm; perhaps reasonable given its location in the Hard Rock, but a disappointment if you've eaten at other Nobus and are expecting a similar, upscale experience.

The other people in the restaurant were very hot and fun to look at but to even try and carry on small talk with someone quite near was problematic. The bill ($110 for 2) was about half what we'd anticipated based on Nobu meals elsewhere though, so it's excellent value for money.
