What a wonderful birthday experience! We were made to feel special from the moment we stepped in the door. Food was delicious, and portions generous. The lemon chicken was a delight! Despite booking late we were allocated a fabulous table, and the small treats for my partners birthday really was the cherry on top. A lovely experience on a cold and sunny day in Central Park! We’ll be back!

This was our second visit to celebrate our wedding anniversary and it will continue to be our tradition. Food, spirits and tea are top tier. Service is always personalize and they go above and beyond. Celebrating here is something we look forward all year

A friendly and welcoming staff, very attentive and professional. Food/wine/beer was good and the view over the (frozen!) lake with the sun shining on it was a delight. Not cheap - but decent value for money for a special lunch with friends. Highly recommended.

I had a fantastic dining experience at this restaurant while celebrating my friend’s birthday! The atmosphere was lively yet intimate, creating the perfect setting for our celebration. We started with the mussels, which were fresh, tender, and bursting with flavor. The brisket beef was absolutely melt-in-your-mouth, cooked to perfection with rich, savory flavors. The Caesar salad was crisp and light, balancing the richness of the other dishes beautifully. For drinks, I tried both a White Russian and a Phoenix cocktail – both were expertly crafted, with the White Russian being smooth and indulgent, while the Phoenix had a bold, refreshing twist. The staff made the birthday celebration even more special with their warm and attentive service. Overall, the combination of great food, amazing cocktails, and a wonderful atmosphere made this an unforgettable experience. Highly recommend this place for any occasion – it’s perfect for celebrating with friends!

This was our first visit to NOBU in NYC. I was very pleasantly surprised by the cooked dishes. I regularly eat either ramen noodles or sushi / sashimi in a Japanese restaurant. The cod dish was exceptional! The beef dish was a close second. Dion, our waiter, was great. He walked us thru the menu and we took all of his suggestions. Very patient and caring. Definitely will go back soon to try more hot dishes.
