What's the fuss about Nobu 57? Not much, is what you discover when you check this place on 57th Street. Another feather in Chef Nobu matsuhisa'a hat, the Japanese resto-bar serves the usual suspects it does at other Nobus - sashimi salad, Black Cod with Miso, Toro Tartare, Green Tea Ice Cream, sushi, sake, and martinis. The standard is undoubtedly elite and there's no dearth of celeb sightings. The conspicuous sake barrels, wood panels, hibachi table, and bar give a trendy look to the place, though the high decibels can be annoying at times. Don't leave home without being loaded.
