Ginza St James's

We had booked lunch for a special occasion. They are clearly more used to having corporate diners in at lunchtime and their Lunch Express menu at £32 is clearly popular. We had booked for the more expensive menu option at £87 pp. We were disappointed to be left alone with the menus for some time but eventually we were able to put a drinks order in with one of the waitresses. Our cocktails took a long time to arrive and the waiter initially took them to the wrong table, I suggested they were probably our drinks but then he didn't know which was which and as we tried to help him figure this out it turned out he didn't know what ingredients were in each cocktail. We eventually did get to order our food and a bottle of wine (wines range from about £50 upwards, we'd chosen one at £83). The food itself was really nice. The mixed starters were delicious and I was very impressed with the freshness of the sashimi. With the mains, we'd ordered the black cod, it wasnt 'black' i.e. it didnt look charred around the skin but it did taste very delicious. The steak was tasty but the size was disappointing, very small for a main meal. The deserts were panna cotta. Overall not quite upto 'special meal' standard but would probably recommend for an express lunch option.
