Best Dish - Of course the steak is the best dish but also try the fois gras or abalone with seaweed sauce. Both are fantastic.
Cost - Money should not be an object, we paid 55,000 yen for 2 including one of the cheaper bottles of wine.
English Friendly - Yes
Atmosphere - On week days it is full of business men
Food - Up there with the best. I would put this place in the top 10 steak houses in Tokyo.
Service - Poor. I would give this place 5 stars except the service let it down. We were served the next course without the prior plates being cleared, our waiter forgot to take our drink order, the food came before the wine and other than the first glass of wine we poured the entire bottle ourselves. I expect more when I am paying these prices.
Wine list - Excellent for Japan
