    I had a great experience at Nobu Dallas! I originally booked for five friends, and I intended to book underneath the happy hour option however, when we first got seated, I was told that we had booked a reservation under the wrong thing.  our waitress was very accommodating, assisting us and moving to the happy hour section and even putting us in a section where my friends and I could comfortably sit and laugh without bothering the other guest.  Although we moved around a few times before eventually getting settled I want to thank the Nobu team who didn’t make us feel as though we were a bother for having made the initial scheduling mistake underneath the reservation. They were extremely accommodating and made my birthday feel special.  beyond this the food and drinks were amazing as usual, and the weight staff incredibly kind.
