I assume the Japanese restaurant at Crown you are referring to is Nobu. Interesting that you had such a good experience there. I took some clients to Nobu, and was not that impressed. The service was a bit slap dash. There is an excellent french restaurant at Crown, Bistro Guillaume, which has a really nice bar downstairs. Bistro Guillaume is going to get considerable patronage out of me this year with clients at lunch, and is a great place to take the gf as well.
