I had never been to any of the Nobus but I was expecting a lot for from this restaurant - for these prices, I expect to have something, anything, jump out at me and slap me across the face.\n\nTwo of us went and tried the following:\n1) Salmon Belly - $30. meh - had a wierd honey mustard sauce on them.\n2) Uni tempura - $15-20 (i forget) - it was okay but nothing special.\n3) Black cod Miso - $20ish - fine, but this is a cliche at japanese restaurants at this point. They tried to offer it in \"lettuce wrap\" form which should have been a huge red flag.\n4) Live Scallop - the best dish we tried - simple, spicy. i forget the price.\n5) BIG MISTAKE - Kobe beef tacos. $42. Three tacos, half the size of our palm, and tasted like street meat. \n\nIt was difficult to avoid fried, saucy, overwrought dishes. If I were to characterize this restaurant in one sentence it would be:\n\nJapanese Cheesecake Factory.\n\nWe ordered a couple bottles of Sake which pushed up the final price, but we wound up spending about $180 per person for a very mediocre meal that left us still kind of hungry. \n\nAtmosphere (in the Hard Rock Hotel) was also subpar - could have been any vegas restaurant and the service was not particularly good either.\n\nIf you're going to blow this kind of money, spend it at the Spearmint Rhino.
