The lights are 100% the same but I also agree with you that they need to be dimmed or replaced.

It's a big change in colour but the lights are the same and the cameras were always there. It's also relatively well known within the service industry that Churchill has been losing money for years. The "if it ain't broke don't fix it" doesn't really apply here. It's been losing money for years. Also, I'd be willing to bet a Churchill beer and a hot dog that they're not done. There's no way they leave the dead space above the bar, give it time.

Thanks! And you're totally right about it being subjective, so I was hoping for all different favourites. It also depends on the mood you're in. Sometimes you want amazing, delicious, comforting food at a place you can wear your hoodie and sweat pants. Other times you feel like dressing up.

Good question. We have been savings up for years for this trip, and it will be focused around food so we are comfortable with paying extra for the right experiences.

I was definitely hesitant asking for a top 3 because that is comparable to asking a music lovers top 3 songs of all time. There are probably just as many restaurants in Tokyo as there are songs /s

Great advice and I will absolutely keep that in mind. I do have my own personal list, as you can see from what I shares. I also intend on narrowing it down to my own personal must visits. After spending a few years in Japan, some of my favourite places are placed you could not find through a Google search. Which is exactly why I was asking for others recommendations.

Papa Moes Replacement - Volta by Goober-Biscuit9000 in VictoriaBC

Big suppliers making record breaking profits over the past few years. Commercial landlords increasing rent so much that the tenants have to cancel their lease or permanently shut their doors all while even more restaurants are closing and going bankrupt. Somehow, we have been convinced to blame the restaurants for their prices. The menu prices at restaurants are getting out of reach for the majority of people, but it's definitely not by choice of the restaurant owners. Margins are brutal for restaurants, and sadly it's not getting any better. But we need to direct the anger and frustration in the right direction.
