Stepping into the main restaurant of Andaz Tokyo on the 51st floor of Toranomon Hills, you'll know you're in a memorable place well before you sit down. Wide windows offer unobstructed views of the metropolis to rival the nearby Tokyo Tower, while the high ceiling with natural skylights afford an airy spaciousness.
As it enters its fifth year, the 108-seat restaurant that was previously known as Andaz Tavern is now beginning a new chapter. In conjunction with the introduction of a new executive chef, it will welcome guests starting mid-April with its new grill theme reflected in its new name, The Tavern — Grill & Lounge.
Executive chef Shaun Keenan brings a wealth of culinary knowledge to the diner's table. Australian-born Keenan began his culinary training in Sydney with a focus on French cuisine, later immersing himself in Japanese and Korean fare. Consequently, guests will not only find grilled meat and seafood featured prominently on the menu, a testament to his Aussie upbringing, but Japanese ingredients and accents of French as well.
