Sometimes, it's not good to have high expectation when you try a new restaurant.  NUR has 2 sections, one side closed to the open kitchen then the other side more like fine dining.  We were led to a table in the open kitchen area at the beginning but we requested them to relocate us since it's too bright (too many lighting) and hot there.  Finally, we got a table at a much quieter section.The menu is very simple with 2 choices available only.  Just like all the other first timer, we picked the f

Sometimes, it's not good to have high expectation when you try a new restaurant.  NUR has 2 sections, one side closed to the open kitchen then the other side more like fine dining.  We were led to a table in the open kitchen area at the beginning but we requested them to relocate us since it's too bright (too many lighting) and hot there.  Finally, we got a table at a much quieter section.
The menu is very simple with 2 choices available only.  Just like all the other first timer, we picked the full extensive course menu.  I don't want to repeat what others have said in their critiques, I just want to mention that we did have surprises towards the first couple of dishes from their presentation to their taste.  If I have to rate their food, I can only say that the appetizers were the best and given most thoughts.  The main course & dessert were very ordinary.
Oyster, cucumber, wasabi

Besides, we do have a suggestion for the restaurant on their wine serving part.  We expected NUR to have a sommelier but there's none.  Then, when they charged us corkage fee at $500/bottle (comparable to the top tier restaurant) but no Burgundy glasses were provided to match with the Burgundy red we brought.  We are indeed very disappointed!
