Clearly not in the category of places like the Ivy, St. John or the fish place by the Ivy folks that I am drawing a blank on the name of.
I think Matsuhisa is better than the Nobu restaurants but there are some Nobu dishes, when executed well, are some of the most sublime food one can have.
Perhaps you are thinking of J. Sheekey just off Leicester Square? I was impressed with J. Sheekey but thoroughly underwhelmed by the Ivy.
I will also add Vongs Thai Kitchen in Chicago and DB Bistro Moderne at Wynn in Las Vegas to my list of overrated.
