This is our third time there, and we absolutely loved the food here. The same can't be said for their service, though. For the prices we pay for the meal here, Nobu should really buck up their service staff. First visit: Dinner at 8pm. Shown to our seats by apathetic staff. Waited for almost 10 minutes before menu were brought for us. We had to flag the staff several times - the final straw was when one of the wait staff was chatting to a diner (who arrived later than us) while clutching our menus. Spent the most of the evening trying to catch the attention of the staff.Last visit: We came for lunch, and ordered the 3-course menu. Our MAIN COURSE arrived first. Staff had no idea we have not had our starter. We questioned this, and staff disappeared without explanation. Appetisers have a subtler flavour, and should be consumed ahead of the main, otherwise the stronger flavours of the main course will overpower the starters. I started on my main, and a few mouthfuls later, my appetiser arrives. The main course now sits cold, while i switched back to the appetiser (ceviche). No apologies from wait staff were made.After we'd finished our main course, it took some 30 minutes before our dessert is served. Again, we have had to flag the wait staff to ask for dessert. Finally, getting the bill took them some 10 minutes. Outrageous!The only saving grace were the food here. I particularly enjoyed the salmon anticucho, and the desserts are phenomenal - anta sandagi, the chocolate sphere, are all well done.
