EDITED AND CUT (irrelevant to Westin thread) THE FOLLOWING AREA IS ACCESSIBLE TO THOSE STAYING AT THE WESTIN SO I'VE KEPT INFO HERE

There are plenty of upscale restaurant choices on Platinum Avenue itself (also known as Gaien Nishi Dori) just to the East of Shirokanedai station such as http://www.b-point.co.jp/ (Blue Point) 4,19,19 Shirokanedai
and Sakura Sakura, 5-15-10 Shiroganedai (on the other side of the avenue to Blue Point).
http://www.ilgrappolo-damiura.com/ is another option, 4-9-18 Shirokanedai (basement) as is the moderately priced http://www.boheme.jp/en/shirogane/home/location
On this map Platinum Avenue is the yellow road running North to South. The Westin is the hotel on the left.
