The Imperial Viking Sal

Reviewed By StKasui

“Viking” (buffet) restaurant at one of the most prestigious hotels in Tokyo. Full of local people to enjoy extraordinary dinner experience maybe to celebrate anniversaries. A bit jammed but still get the sense of five star hotels hospitality of Japan. Surprisingly only a few Chinese tourists although there are lots of such guests in the hotel. Food was good as buffet style especially roast beef and very famous Imperial Hotel curry. Lots of desert items and they were very nice. NETT 9,000 yen per pax. 20% discount for hotel guest. Maybe a bit pricey. Good for fancy family dinner for tourists and expats. ローストビーフ、カレー、デザートが特に美味しかったです。席の配置は少々窮屈ですが、お客さんは日本人メインで大陸の騒がしい方々がいらっしゃらなかったので特に問題ありませんでした。宿泊者ニ割引で7000円程ならコスパの観点では許容範囲です。

Fish Bank Tokyo

Reviewed By SuperShan1

I read great reviews of Fish Bank last year but never got the chance to get a reservation. Finally got a reservation this time. But if you want a window seat, you've to book way in advance. Our table though not near the window has excellent view and comfort. We'd 3 Tasting Course menu. Each pax is Yen 13,000. Tasting course comprises of 6 dishes. Appertiser is interesting and so yummy. Only the Fresh Carpaccio is ordinary. The rest of the dishes are very very good. Their service? Impeccable! I just need to turn my head and look at a staff, immediately I got his/her attention. Our server is a Hong kong lady Lisa, she was fantastic! She's constantly appearing out of nowhere, just at the right time and not in a disturbing manner. Very polite and knowledgeable. Walk us out right to the lift when we leave. Even though the meal is not cheap, 3 tasting course + 7 glass of Chablis (Chablis by the glass is VERY GOOD and only Yen 1,150 per glass), I'll be back so long I can get a reservation. There's a section just near the restroom - all window seating, feels private, you can enjoy your wine, probably talk louder! Food is ala carte and seems a cheaper version. Is call Majestic. I'll certainly look into that!

A resort-like space where you can enjoy authentic Mediterranean cuisine. There is a mysterious Asian feel while the terrace and pool lounge seats give off a colonial European ambiance.

Reviewed By joanna5463

A beautifully designed restaurant with wooden screens and plenty of space between tables, cluster candle lighting and discreet professional staff. An eclectic menu and wine list from around the Mediterranean ...the concept was similar to the Medi wine bar in NY. We tried the spicy lamb pie and roasted red pepper and walnut dip, both delicious and for mains the swordfish was the best I have eaten! Prawns in harissa however, were so chillie hot that they brought tears to the eyes! Be aware of the pricing of extras, drinks seemed expensive including mineral water, Y380 per person for four pieces of flatbread, corkage on your own drinks Y4000, dessert wine Y1,000 to Y2000 per glass, double espresso Y800.

I will start with the place: Amazing. The staff and the service: Amazing as well. The dishes are VERY tiny. We ordered a vegetarian menu. The main dish was several pieces of vegetables in a soup. Something that not even fits to appetizer and when I complained about the tiny main dish I got no response from the team. The main surprise except the tax which is normal; 16% service which probably was mentioned in font 8. Check it out before. We were very disappointed and got no answers from the team. I truly recommend to put your money in a place that respects it.Dear nirk2017,Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback in Azure45 and I would like to sincerely apologies about the unpleasant experience you had.Unfortunately, we did not meet your expectations, nor did we live up to the high standards of service for which we are known.We are currently working on the new menu in Azure45 and we would pay more attention for timeliness of service and quality of the food.I promise that we keep continuously training the staff to provide the higher level of service and quality of the food as The Ritz-Carlton.Thank you very much again for sharing your experience in Azure45 and we hope we will have another opportunity to be at your service soon.The Ritz-Carlton, TokyoFood and Beverage CoordinatorAnzu Kamei

Le Chateau de Joel Robuchon

Reviewed By Gabriel H

We have visited several Robuchon restaurants (Paris, Montecarlo, Bordeaux, etc.) but it was our first visit to this restaurant. Housed in a beautiful French country chateau in the middle of Tokyo, it is exquisitely decorated inside. The dining area is on the second floor and there is a terrace on the ground floor. Service was attentive and discrete and the food, outstanding, similar or even better than in some of Robuchon's original restaurants. The chef, Michael, visited briefly with us and was delightful. This is clearly one of the very top 3-star restaurants in Tokyo. Don't miss it!

Reviewed By Sydney2000000

We both had set menu Blanc Carte which was only available on weekday for ¥4,600 plus tax. The food was delicious and presentation matched the high food standard. The appetiser and entree contained 3 separate small things with distinctive and interesting flavours. We commented on the food and how sophisticated it was, the French Maitre D’ said lunch was a bit basic compared to dinner . We just couldn’t imagine how much more sophisticated it could be! The room setting was really posh and views of surrounding Roppongi area were stunning especially on a sunny day. Waitering service was a class above the rest. The Maître D’ was extremely professional and experienced, when he picked up the empty place and saw the next dish was put down on the table, he quickly put the dirty plate behind his back i.e. out of our sight while he was explaining the next dish. He was very knowledgeable with wines and recommended a nice and suitable wine for my husband. However, the same could not be said for the restaurant receptionist. We arrived in smart casual clothes but wearing boots as we went to the fish market prior to lunch. When we arrived and before I could say anything the restaurant receptionist pointed me to the cafe next door as though we were not the type to dine at Pierre Garnaire. I told her that we had a reservation at Pierre Garnaire and she was very polite after that. We did find the incident rather amusing, surprising & disappointing especially in Japan. The restaurant being inside a hotel therefore staff should have known better that many of restaurant patrons were tourists and not always possible to turn up in their finery.Food was reasonable but wine was very expensive. Overall, it was a very enjoyable and memorable lunch credit to our Maitre D’.Dear Sydney2000000, Thank you for a very delightful feedback of your dining experience at Pierre Gagnaire, it is a great pleasure to know that you have enjoyed the professionalism of our team and our exclusive offerings which we pride ourselves very much upon, with certainty around an opportunity for improvement in our arrival experience. Thank you once again for your feedback, and My Team and I look forward to welcoming you back with us again for yet another memorable dining experience at dinner time next perhaps. --Best regards,Joyce ChuaFood & Beverage Manager

L'Atelier de Joel Robuchon

Reviewed By Suzanne F

An excellent meal. The chestnut soup may be the best soup I've ever had in my life, rich and creamy. The entire meal was memorable, as was the excellent staff. Seating is mostly at a long counter overlooking the kitchen so you watch the staff as they prepare the meal, which not everyone enjoys.My only dissatisfaction of the evening was trying to get a taxi after the meal was over. There was one place outside where everyone waited in line for taxis to come. The wait was maybe 20-25 minutes, which was not super long, but after a long dinner waiting in the cold late at night was not so fun. Next time I would try to call and have a taxi waiting for me around the corner from the taxi line.

Elio Locanda Italiana

Reviewed By Danielle2374

Through an apparent miscommunication between our hotel and this restaurant, we were unable to get a table here. Then we were told by the owner that we weren’t dressed appropriately...but that wasn’t the reason we were refused service. If he hadn’t said that, I wouldn’t have been bothered. But because he mentioned it - it made me think that was the actual reason. Yes we were dressed like tourists who had been sightseeing all day - because we had been. But we had also traveled the trains for over 30 min to get there. It was terribly frustrating. The owner did make a reservation for us at his other restaurant and gave us a complimentary glass of champagne, which was nice. However the encounter left a bitter taste in my mouth.If you want to eat here, definitely make a reservation and dress for it.
