Miru
8.7
A St. Regis rooftop Japanese dining room that leans into polished nigiri, shareable hot plates, and a view-forward, celebration-ready pace. It works best as a structured progression: a few signature nigiri pieces, one crispy rice or raw plate, then a single warm centerpiece to finish.

A5 Wagyu Nigiri, Chutoro Gunkan, Wild Mushroom Sizzling Rice
What makes it special: Signature nigiri and shareable plates in a skyline-view rooftop setting.
#2
Ocean Prime

A high-volume, reservation-driven surf-and-turf room where the steakhouse side is most reliable when you keep the order classic: broiled steaks, one rich side, and a clean starter.

Must-Try Dishes:
Filet mignon, Chilean sea bass, Black truffle mac & cheese

Comfort Food Classics
A Hyatt Regency steakhouse format with a real sushi lane, built for business dinners and hotel-bar convenience. The best experience comes from committing to either sushi-first with one hot main, or steakhouse classics with a single roll for contrast—don’t try to cover the whole menu.

A Loop counter spot that’s built for fast, customizable Japanese comfort—poke bowls and ramen that fit a lunch-break timeline.

Spicy roasted garlic ramen, Build-your-own poke bowl, Gyoza
What makes it special: Build-your-own poke and ramen that stays fast and lunch-friendly downtown.
