Holy cow, What a great dinner and view from the 52nd floor! 1st off, reservation is a must. We booked our dinner a month online in advanced to get the best seats and time. It was also our 2nd day of 2 weeks in Tokyo and our wedding anniversary. At first it was a little hard to find your way up to the restaurant (few elevators, through a library and another restaurant) but we made it. With some pre planning or asking, you can find your way easily. Once you have arrived, the views are to die for. Once you come out the elevator your are greeted by staff but it’s hard to pay attention with those views that instantly hit you. Total 360 degree views. amazing! Our seats were up close to the view and we could just not keep our eyes off them. We had earlier opted for the Wagyu Tomahawk dinner which was way more than enough for 2 people. The steak was like bitting into a piece of butter, one of the best Wagyu dinners I’ve had. The drinks were tasty and strong. After dinner we headed over to the New York bar (one room over) and it being our wedding anniversary, the staff went above and beyond to come find us with sherbet desert and even writing “Happy Anniversary” in Japanese on chocolate. They even sat us in the same seats Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson sat in, from the movie Lost in Translation. The staff and service was 10/10 and very accommodating and on point. As I mentioned earlier, this bar was featured in the movie Lost in Translation and brief intro of Anthony Bourdain’s Parts Unknown. If you want a very intimate, well presented, impeccable, and friendly service and staff, this is the place I highly recommend.
*If you’re a smoker they have a sealed off room near the restrooms. Not sure how much longer that will be there so enjoy all of this nostalgic history while you can, as they are remodeling in 2024.
