So this is a combined occasion review. My first visit to Oak Door was with my partner on Thanksgiving. The appetizer spread was delicious, and one could order extra helpings of sides if one so wished. The turkey was decent, but my only critique is that I wish they had asked if I preferred white meat or dark meat, as I felt that they gave me a larger helping of dark meat and I really don’t care for dark meat that much. The service was excellent throughout the dinner, from the overall attentiveness to the attention to detail. For an extra 5,500 yen one may also add the drink course which I highly recommend. It was an excellent Thanksgiving dinner, and even if you’re not from the U.S., I would recommend giving it a try if you’re in Tokyo during around the holidays for the overall experience and ambiance.

I enjoyed the Thanksgiving dinner so much that my colleague and I decided to go back to try the Oak Door’s famous brunch. All-in-all, it was very good. Basically you get unlimited appetizers, which are actually pretty generous in portion, and then you choose a main course as well as dessert. For my main I ordered the fish (which I believe was seabass?), and my colleague ordered the burger and fries. My fish was good, although cold have used a little more flavor, but given that I had filled up on champagne and appetizers I didn’t have much room for a larger main course. I tried a bit of the burger which was honestly too well done for my taste (and I generally prefer my burgers more well done than I would eat a steak). Free flow drinks are included for 90 minutes as well, which is a good deal, but the service this day was not nearly as attentive as my Thanksgiving dinner experience and more than one point we had to get a manager to come over to take our order. All the staff were extremely polite and even apologetic, but it wasn’t as good as Thanksgiving – not sure if they were short staffed or what, but the service could have been better. Overall, we still enjoyed it and I would definitely go back. The atmosphere is also very elegant, you definitely feel like you’re eating in an upscale dining establishment as should be the case given the premier address of the Grand...

A class act. I dined with my wife and 7 year old son while staying at the Grand Hyatt our last night in Japan. The online booking was easy and the dinner packages available to pre select were a great option. We decided on a la carte as we wanted to try a couple different starters and steaks. Upon being seated our son was given a kids menu which was easy for him to choose from and could be brought out quickly. After we received our drinks we were met by the manager Sam who spotted a novel our son was reading, that he had when he was young, while waiting for his dinner. We shared a great conversation and it was particularly special the time he took talking with our son. The starter scallops & crab cakes were delicious and our A5 steaks mouth watering with nice cocktails and drink service that was very prompt and always checking if we needing another drink. Special attention was given to my wife on choosing a Saké also. Sam caught up with us again and organised a special treat for our son the following day meeting him at the restaurant kitchen where he could make his own ice cream and Sam also gave our son his Lord of the Rings novels as he could see what a keen reader he is. Above and beyond! This was the cherry on top staying at the Grand Hyatt and for our 15 day stay in Japan. Highly recommend this restaurant and the staff. Thank-you...
