My husband and I celebrated my birthday at Nube and it was awesome! The food was so delicious, I almost asked to see the chef. Our server was very attentive and knowledgeable about everything on the menu. Her service was excellent and very professional. We went with her suggestions on the wagyu steak with truffle fries and cheese board and everything was perfect. My husband had the salmon and wagyu dumplings and he enjoyed it very much. Overall the service was great and I had a wonderful birthday dinner. Also thank you for the delicious complimentary chocolate birthday cake!
