I've been to Nobu's place in Aspen and wasn't blow away... but it was quite good. I'd LOVE to try the one in Park Lane. Let us know how it is.
I just ate at Morimoto this weekend and it was nothing short of over-the-top. We didn't do the omakase menue but opted to let the sushi chef(s) pick some sashimi that wasn't on the menu.... things like abalone liver, whole baby squid, fatty snaper, baby eel.... wow! WOW!
Chez Panisse was simply inspiring, litterally. We ate upstairs and the meal was amazingly simple but the freshest and best quality. It was one of my most memorable meals in fact.
If you are ever in DC check out Citronelle in the Latham hotel on M street Georgetown.
One of my favorite places in the world... quite underated.
Anyway... I was really replying to make sure you write up Nobu London!
