I just went here for lunch, and had the mahi mahi lunch item. It was delicious over a bed of mushrooms, but the sauce was on the buttery side. Our server was beyond accommodating, and even got me gluten free rolls when I mentioned my allergy. The portion was on the smaller size, so I would recommend getting one of the boxed lunch sets.

Actually, 4.5 stars. I was so impressed! I’ve eaten at Ka’ana Kitchen of Andaz Maui which was really really good, but this one was even better! They serve Modern European cuisine, but I could taste a tiny little Japanese flare! Ingredients used were imported and local seasonal Japanese ingredients. Husband and I are staying at the hotel, but we made a reservation just in case… Because so many restaurants in Japan prefer reservations! 7pm dinner and the restaurant is already pretty busy. We walked in and was greeted with a couple of staff then were brought to our table which faced large glass windows. Food– Bread and butter: bread was really good, crust crispy and inside soft and moist: butter is soft but unsalted, perfect after we added some salt to it. Ox tongue cold appetizer: texture was good and tasted refreshing with raw diced tomatoes and some dressing(sorry I forgot!). Beef carpaccio with white truffles: wow! The beef cut is the finest part of the filet mignon and it was served with shaved whole pieces of white truffle, white truffle aioli, and tiny quail eggs. Texture and taste were on point. I wanted to get another order. Cabbage soup– creamy but without cream, very cabbage tasting and with a hint of seafood flavor I think from clams. Mackerel– grilled perfectly, fish is fresh and not overcooked. Sea snails and sauce complimented the dish well. Green beans– my least favorite, a bit buttery, cooked well, not too soft but not as crispy as I would have preferred. Drinks– bee’s knees: tasty and enough gin! I felt warmed up after my first sip. Husband ordered a Gold Rush, which is the same drink as mine but with bourbon instead of gin. He liked his. Ambiance/décor: beautiful and ginormous space! Lighting is dim but our table had a mushroom shaped light that provided sufficient lifting for me to take pretty good food photos with my iPhone. Staff– friendly and can speak English. We were provided with English menus and didn’t ask them questions. Our waitress seemed a bit nervous when speaking to us in English, but she was very pleasant. Not the same staff brigs you every dish, but verbal descriptions of the dishes were provided. We told the waitress that we were sharing everything so our soup was nicely split into two bowls for us. Overall– I enjoyed out dinner so much! Food was so delicious and drinks were tasty. Would definitely come back if I’m in the area and is searching for a nice sit down restaurant for some reliable delicious food. Highly recommended!

Came here for breakfast a week after the Toranomon complex opened in June 2014. True to Hyatt-chain hotels, the buffet choice is limited but the quality, attention to detail was fantastic. The fresh fruit juice, melon & sliced prosciutto, and the made-to-order omelette was amazing. 4,500 Yen+ for breakfast is money well-spent.
