"This is the flagship restaurant of the Nobu empire, complete with stunning ocean views, exorbitantly priced miso black cod, and a patio packed with celebrities in sunglasses. When you’re eating rock shrimp tempura at a beachside fortress that looks like it’s owned by a Bond supervillain, there’s never a dull moment. This is definitely one of the toughest reservations in LA, but the experience is worth the hassle of getting in—from the fantastic sashimi to the paparazzi sitting outside.
