Garden Lounge

Great atmosphere, not so good food. Upon arriving, I was greeted by a very friendly host and a few other members of the staff. Everyone was very welcoming and professional. I was also able to order food quickly, and the food arrived quickly as well.

The lounge overlooks a Japanese garden and waterfall, each of which is very impressive for the hotel's proximity to the center of the city. If you come around sunset, you'll also note the direction of the windows if perfect for enjoying the colors in the sky.

I took a point off because of the actual food and drink I received. The Ceasar salad was just lettuce and a strip of bacon, and the portion size did not make up for the lack of ingredients. And the Manhattan I ordered presented well but did not taste anything like a Manhattan.

All that said, the ambiance and live music may make up for some of the food misgivings but for ¥6,000 I think I could have done better elsewhere.
