Nobu Fifty Seven, the first uptown New York location for chef Nobu Matsuhisa, opened in the summer of 2005. Nobu's co-owners are his longtime partners: restaurateur Drew Nieporent, actor Robert De Niro, Meir Teper and Nobu managing partner Richie Notar. The restaurant showcases Nobu's signature new style Japanese cuisine with classic dishes and new creations from the wood-burning oven and hibachi table. Designed by David Rockwell, Nobu Fifty Seven evokes fluidity and the imagery of an Asian river with curves and details of abalone shell chandeliers, sliced bamboo stalks in terrazzo tiles, scorched ash tables and Japanese quilt fabric.
