  The reality is, Nobu is a big-name chain at Crown, so it ticks all the boxes for a big ticket bill at the end of the night. OK, I get all of that. High prices are one thing; value for money is something else again. I've been to plenty of expensive restaurants at Crown, and I love the Neil Perry establishments there. Sure, they're expensive, but you always come away having enjoyed a real dining experience, and if you come away hungry, you simply haven't ordered well.

  Going to put in a formal complaint with Melbourn City Local Council as well regarding their food quality standards.

  Waiters anticipate when you are ready for the next course or more drinks and are very customer focussed.

  The food at Nobu is great, but I question whether it offers value for money. Had I paid half what I paid, I expect I would have rated it five stars; but when you end up paying $250 a head for the eight course chef's selection, and the half your dining party end up eating bread, cheese, and pate when they get home, you have to start asking a serious question--have I been ripped off here. Sadly, I answered that to myself in the affirmative, which is why Nobu will be a "oncer" for me; I'll be taking my big dollar somewhere else--somewhere where I feel I get value for money.

  Otherwise it was a very good experience. Contemporary Japanese with flair for innovation. Extensive drinks and cocktail list.

  For a very high end restaurant in the Crown Casino complex its not at all aloof or snobby.

  Went to a birthday lunch here, the food was good and came out in a timely matter considering it was a large group. Lots of variety on the menu and they took into account dietary and allergy requirements. Wish they had informed us that water would cost, we had ordered tap water and were given bottle water which showed up on our bill.

  It gets very busy so be sure to pre-book on weekends - we went on a Friday night and booked six weeks prior in order to get a table.

  I visited for my birthday yesterday. The food was great, staff was hospitable and atmosphere was really nice. We dined around 10pm and i wake up 530am throwing up entire night's dinner. Seriously? I was so shocked. At $250 a head the least Nobu can do is keep quality ingredients.

  Excellent dishes, great service - Only downside was that it was a bit noisy... OK, so it was a Friday night and we were seated in a booth directly below a speaker so maybe this is a bit harsh!

  It's a simple reality that any big name restaurant in the Melbourne Crown complex is going to be expensive. It get that. These places would be paying exorbitant rents. They are inevitably big venues with high staffing costs,and their fit-outs are done to dazzle. If that restaurant has a "name" associated with it, then you can expect to pay a surcharge on top of the already steep price.
