The Scene – A boisterous group of 30- and 40-something singles crowd at the first floor bar. The sprawling dining room on the second level balcony feels busy with rich woods, fabrics and patterns, punctuated by the rush of servers delivering back-to-back courses to expense accounters, dates and curious tourists. – – The Food – Sate the appetite with plump edamame while perusing the multi-sectioned menu. Of the cold dishes, the flavors of thinly sliced yellowtail sashimi, jalepeno and cilantro converge for a sublime meld, and while the toro tartar tastes regally of…

MORE THAN JUST A JAPANESE RESTAURANT

by pclipper2000

Having been to Nobu 57 many times, I am still surprised by the negative comments written thru other postings.... mixologists are incredible, service spectacular, food outstanding. I dont understand how people can be so foolish to think that an enjoyable evening is dependent solely on the performance of the rest. and their staff. I spend 4-5 hrs with my wife at nobu each time. From start to finish this has been and I'm sure will a continued wonderful experience.. Try going with someone that you truely enjoy-- nobu 57 and their staff will do nothing but compliment the experience....

  • Pros: ATMOSPHERE
  • Cons: NIGHT HAD TO END

nice midtown offering

by dallas_foodie

if you're coming here for sushi, don't have tunnel vision - they will tell you that it's not their calling card. that being said, both the tuna and salmon sushi were outstanding and the uni (sea urchin) was also surprising if you're into that kind of thing. still, they will encourage you to order a combination of cold and hot dishes beforehand, so we did. the yellowtail sashimi with jalapeno was as good as advertised (be sure and add cilantro to every bite) but the miso cod was a bit sweet for my taste. the soft shell crab appetizer was a nice alternative to the obligatory spider roll. if you saved room for dessert try the PB&J - yes, it's sweet too, but this one's supposed to be!

  • Pros: delicate seafood presentation and friendly service
  • Cons: sushi menu is limited (not their "signature")

The Details on Nobu 57

Know Before You Go:

Reservations are accepted a month in advance, although you can always try for day-of cancellation spots.

Where to Sit:

The noise level in the dining room can reach din proportions. Ask for seating in the lounge to the right of the stairs, which is somewhat removed from the fray.

What to Drink:

The subtle flavors of the Emporio martini made with gin, sake, cranberry, lychee and lime juices act as a nice balance to the sweet-hot flavors on the menu.
