As for Nobu, the restaurant is dark, probably to help facilitate the views of the harbour at dinner. So, yes, ask for window harbourview seats! And the seats that have harbourview are wooden bar stools at wooden round tables, so don't expect plush and luxurious seating. The booths look more comfortable, but don't have any discernible views. The food was amazing and our server was very attentive. This was my first time at Nobu, which is why we decided to share the tasting menu (yes, we ordered the tasting menu for ONE person, not two) and then added one waygu beef entree to be brought out at the same time as the included beef entree. That was more than enough food for the 2 of us. I can't imagine eating the tasting menu by myself - there was a LOT of food. That gave us a sample of their signature offerings and I believe they succeeded in showcasing some of their better dishes. But if you don't want their tasting menu - the yellowtail sashimi, tartar with caviar, and their Wood Oven A5 Japanese Wagyu filet (not on the tasting menu) was melt in your mouth delicious.

There are a ton of photos on open rice that show you the food and the tables:

Now I'm really excited for my trip!

Reservations agent said no love on a window seat at the moment (a month out, seriously?), but they would try their best to accommodate it... Let's see how it all shakes out.

Thanks again,
