For the first time ever I used my American Express Concierge service yesterday, and was most impressed. I called to get a reservation at Nobu TriBeCa for that night, and within about 20min or less, I had a reservation for 3 in 2 hours(8pm).
I have my card, primarily as a safety net when I'm traveling, so that if I get stuck in a conflict zone or what not, I can quickly get myself out. I had heard about the concierge, and am very happy to say they did the job.
Nobu TriBeCa, was a good meal with friends. But I would not say it was foodgasmic. It's notch I can put in the headboard as a place people say go to. The cost wasn't bad for NYC, but I've had better sushi/sashimi other places.
