Danish Modern meets contemporary Japan interior is well executed. Could walk by the street entrance, only my glimpse of the cool floating wine rack tipped me off. "Out" of San Pellegrino water, substituted Badoit - not really the same. Signature sake infused cod was great. Crab pasta needed work. Monotonous presentation, too much butter. Tasty Lobster chowder, plenty of lobster but needed a plate under the bowl - had to put my soup spoon on the tablecloth. Great winelist -impressed to see Phelps Insignia 2002 ($330!!), this was Wine Spectator's Wine of the Year w/ 100 points and hard to come by. Wines by the glass offered wide selection. Choice list of sake by the glass, expensive, $6-$15 for 3 oz, but a treat. Spiegelau glassware and Villeroy and Boch porcelain. Lobby of the St. Regis is a work of art. Restroom amenities first class, carrera marble, gorgeous dark woodwork.
