Love to hear any feedback.
I've not stayed at that Oakwood, but it's as good as next to the Tokyo Sheraton Miyako Hotel (as well as being a 7 minute walk from our family's 'HQ' in Tokyo)
See for yourself in this map:

The walk to Meguro takes about 20 minutes. If you were really cheeky you could use the shuttle bus at the Hotel.
Here's a very recent thread by someone who's staying at the Sheraton Miyako:

And here's a thread I compiled which is tailor made for your own particular question about where you can go and eat in the vicinity of the Oakwood Shirokane:

I believe there is a Precce Supermarket just along the street from that apartment. There is also an Isetan Food Hall at Shirokane Takanawa station. This place in particular offers hefty discounts on ready made meals approximately one hour before closing.
