Great food, but service and decor could be better! Majority of the food is really great, and very fresh. Was not impressed with drinks we ordered but still like this place a lot!

I was excited to go to Nobu for dinner because it has such a strong reputation. I felt like the Miami Beach location is more about the scene than the food. My drink, which included some grapefruit and gin, was very good. For my food, I started with the three oysters, which were all differently dressed. Only one was good. The other two weren't very good and sadly masked all of the oyster flavor. I had sushi for dinner, including tuna and salmon nigiri and a softshell crab roll. The softshell crab roll was very tasty, but I've had many many that are better at many less established Japanese restaurants. The nigiri was also good, but not great.

My dining companions liked their meals, but again didn't love them. The only food item that anyone loved was the lobster tacos, which are very small.

The vibe was great and felt very Miami. I had hoped, given the reputation and prices, that the food was better.

This is the fourth Nobu I've been to and I was kind of disappointed. My group ate in the main dining room then heard there was a "happy hour" in the hotel lobby, which apparently is turning into the Nobu hotel. We decided for a couple more small plates and drinks since they were on special (some items 20$ cheaper than the original menu) I understand there was only one girl for the entire lounge in the lobby but it took 15/20 minutes and for us to move closer to her station before we were offered a menu. So we order, all of which are items off he happy hour menu and we're ordering pointing at the happy hour section. Our plates come, around 6 or 7, we eat, the bill comes and the waitress didn't honor any prices. She decided herself, without notice, that the plates would be too small for my group of 3 people and she would go ahead and order us the full sized dishes at full price to save us the hassle of ordering more than one dish. What a scam! I can see a tourist not even thinking about it and paying for it, but after the manager came over and apologized (also telling us the dishes were too small!!) the price difference was around $70. I guess that's what happens when you don't have to work for your tips, a grotesquely unjust 18% was automatically included for this subpar service. The tuna crispy rice, and the sushi rolls, only came with 6 pieces, so I really can't imagine what the "happy hour" portion comes with. If we wanted the full price dishes we would've ordered them while we were inside the restaurant, what's the point of the happy hour if she's just going to charge us for the regular dishes? The quality of the food however, was consistent with the other locations and we ate like kings.

Nobu never disappoints! We've been to both locations in NYC, Malibu and last night we dined at the Miami location in the Eden Roc. Food, service and ambience were all excellent. We shared the edamame, tuna tacos, lobster salad, yellow tail jalapeño, black cod and filet with truffles. All were excellent the standout being the filet with truffles. Possibly the tastiest piece of meat I've ever had. I highly recommend and will return.

Enjoyed a fabulous dinner having the uber-tasting menu. The food was excellent and our waiter was accommodating, with spot on sake recommendations, and the staff very attentive.
We ate early (7pm reservation) which I think is the way to go here. By 9pm the place was packed and the serving pace at adjoining tables had slowed to beyond a crawl, as opposed to our perfectly paced courses.
The tables for 2 are quite close together, think New York City. If you don't want to be privy to fellow diners every word, ask for a booth - there are some near the open kitchen that were seated with two-tops early in the evening. Later diners probably won't be able to reserve one, as they do seat 4.
Dress varied wildly, from sloppy single diners to superb parties of eight. Dress nicely, this is a restaurant that deserves it. (FWIW, I resent restaurants that expect elegant dinner attire for women and resort casual for men - if the men don't need to wear a jacket then women shouldn't have to be elegant, that's plain sexist.)
