In 1987, Nobu Matsuhisa moved to Los Angeles and opened the eponymous restaurant Matsuhisa. Actor Robert De Niro first visited the restaurant in 1988. After that, he became a regular customer. De Niro suggested to Matsuhisa that he open a restaurant in New York City. They agreed to a joint venture: Nobu. While living in Lima, Peru, Matsuhisa developed his signature style: melding Japanese techniques with Peruvian ingredients. Nobu's famous signature dish is black cod with miso," reads Wikipedia.

I ordered a PINA MARTINI to drink, which had Van Gogh Pineapple, Crème de Peche, Pineapple, & Fresh Lime. This was delightful.

Kaitee and I ordered a few different dishes and just split everything. We figured that would allow us to try a little bit of a bunch of dishes.

While everything here was good, it wasn't otherworldly good - especially for the price. Don't get me wrong; I enjoyed it. But I've had better, for less.
