Everything was great. It was a decent night cold in the city. We had the gumbo which was amazing a nice warm pick me up. The old fashion was to die for best I had in the city! The gulf fish was the way go. We had tag teamed service so there was always someone around to check on us!

Friendly service, good drinks, very good food. Highly recommend the beet and burrata dish as an appetizer. The roasted chicken and pompano were both delicious.

My wife, son, and I visited while on vacation for our 15th anniversary (wife and I of course, son is 5). Food was amazing and the staff were great. The history of the Bananas Foster makes the sugary dish even better… a must visit when in New Orleans.

I recently dined at Nobu New Orleans, and it was an incredible experience! The food was absolutely amazing—each dish was a perfect balance of flavors and beautifully presented. Our waiter(Kendall) truly stood out; they were not only exceptionally kind but also very knowledgeable about the menu and the story behind the dishes and the company itself. Their recommendations made our meal even more enjoyable. The atmosphere was upscale yet welcoming, making it a memorable evening. If you're in New Orleans and looking for a fine dining experience, Nobu is a must-visit!
