Nathan Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Nobu has tables, and the lunch menu is reasonable. good call. although we never talk about Nobu, imo it's quite impressive the quality standard they've been able to keep up across far-flung restaurants for this long. obviously if you could go a bit further north the number of options increases drastically.

SFJoe Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Had a totally odious meal at Nobu in the fall. They seemed to mistake me for a conventioneer from Kansas who required a firm hand on the reins. Maybe I shouldn't have worn that funny hat. But I am in zero hurry to return, and they are just a few blocks away. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
changeup Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 The best I could come up with by way of suggestion was Nyonya. But it's not exactly chichi. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
oakapple Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Every restaurant has bad days, but I've had lunch at Nobu on probably half-a-dozen occasions, and it has always been very solid. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nuxvomica Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 haven't been to Nobu in years since a leisurely friday lunch where the waiter actually asked the table "so, ladies, how are we going to get wasted today" or something to that effect. i was the last one to arrive so there may have been some interaction at the table earlier that i was unaware of and knowing one of the other guests, i wouldn't dismiss the possibility. or perhaps one of the other guests used to work there because i remember a chef coming to the table at the end. but i almost fell out of my chair and have no idea what the meal was like i'm sure it was a specific, isolated instance but i can't help thinking about it every time i hear of Nobu.

Wilfrid Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 So, the timing of the day went awry and ended up with entirely non-chichi Pongsri. Not amazing, but nothing wrong with it, and actually wildly cheap at lunchtime. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AaronS Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 here's a good one: I need an excellent breakfast, midtown west. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rozrapp Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 here's a good one: I need an excellent breakfast, midtown west. We rarely eat breatkfast out, but I would think dbBistro Moderne or Ai Fiori would be excellent. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Daisy Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 here's a good one: I need an excellent breakfast, midtown west. Is this a business thing? Because if it is, you're in hotel land with lots of choices. If you are looking for good food that's another story entirely. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AaronS Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 no, not business. wife's family is in town and this is the only time that works for everyone. I'll look into ai fiori and db bistro. the food matters. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sneakeater Posted September 28, 2012 Author Share Posted September 28, 2012 Does anybody know of a brunch place in Williamsburg that takes reservations? (I sure don't.) Is that a stupid question? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
