People who are anxious to try the new Nobu dining experience by internationally famed chef-restaurateur Nobu Matsuhisa at Eau Palm Beach Resort & Spa in Manalapan will have to wait, unless they are guests at the resort.
The restaurant will not open to the public as expected this week, and instead will debut to only resort guests, because of the amount of interest the restaurant drew, a resort spokeswoman said.
A soft opening for Eau hotel guests only will take place Oct. 18 for the 65-seat dining spot set to feature Matsuhisa’s trademark traditional Japanese cuisine with contemporary Peruvian ingredients.
Eau decided on a phased opening — with hotel guests first — after interest in Nobu Manalapan mushroomed, Michelle Phillips, Eau’s marketing manager told the Daily News on Monday.
Shifting the opening schedule “is related to providing an optimal (dining) experience,” she said. “We are thrilled with the outpour of interest.”
