Osaka

Good food and plenty of it (we went for the buffet service). High quality ingredients and everything seemed fresh. We had plenty of starters (including sushi) then piled our plates with fresh meat (beautiful cuts of fillet steak), fresh fish and prawns, and vegetables. This is then lightly seasoned and cooked right in front of your table by your chef. Due to this arrangement it gets very hot in the restaurant so bear that in mind when deciding what to wear! The views are great on a clear day as you are up on the 11th floor. There is also a terrace where you can eat outside during the warmer weather. The only downside I found was the service. We had booked a few days in advance but they couldn't find our booking when we arrived - a little embarrassing as we had friends with us who had travelled from the UK. We had to wait until a table became free but there was no apology and we had to wait for anyone to ask us if we wanted a drink while we waited too. I would say the service is not as warm or friendly as a lot of places I have been to. However the good value and good food makes up for this.
