President Trump can still enjoy the miso cod at Nobu after all.
After the restaurant’s co-owner, Robert De Niro, was quoted by the Daily Mail saying Trump was banned from Nobu,
De Niro’s publicist, Stan Rosenfield, told me, “Nobody is banned from Nobu, regardless of what you read.”
De Niro has called Trump an “idiot” and said, if the president “walked into a restaurant I was in, I’d walk out.”
But a Nobu source said only that “people who misbehave” — by getting drunk or abusing the staff — are denied service.
“It’s a restaurant. It’s not a political forum,” said the source.
“No matter how many times you choose to rephrase the question, the answer remains, no one is banned from coming to dinner at Nobu,” Rosenfield said.
