Nobu Fifty Seven

Decor: Asian/Japanese theme

Wait Staff: Very nice. Willing to call your cell while you wait for a table or seat at the sushi bar.

Drinks: Sapporo

Food: Spicy Tuna Roll, California Roll, Black Cod with Miso. The rolls were standard fare. Not anything that you could get somewhere else. The Black Cod with Miso is the most spectacular piece of fish I have ever had. It is literally unbelievable. The cod is topped with the Miso, which is carmelized on the top for flavoring. It literally is so good, I considered ordering another.

Total Bill with Tip: $49.00

Overall: A great place if you can get in, which can be very frustrating. If you know you are going to be in town, then plan in advance and get a reservation. You can't even rely on getting a seat at the sushi bar by just showing up. If you are, plan on going there and putting your name in and doing a bit of shopping close by or have a drink at the bar. The main dishes are definitely worth the trouble, however.
