You may expect the first part of a restaurant review to be about the food, but with Coucagno (although the food is exquisite) it's the service that really puts it head and shoulders above the other restaurants in the area. Upon our arrival at the restaurant on the 40th floor of the Cerulean Tower Tokyu Hotel, the maître d′ (I assume) led us to our table--located directly beside one of the many plate glass windows offering sweeping, breathtaking views of Shibuya--and pointed out city landmarks and other highlights visible from our chairs (she indicated the direction in which we might see Mt. Fuji and pointed out that the moon, which was directly in our view, was an unusually deep shade of orange). Our waiter (and all other waitstaff) was fantastic, polite, kind, and extremely professional. Before every course, our waiter explained every item placed in front of us and asked if we had any questions. The service we received was of the highest tier.
I admit I'm not an expert when it comes to French cuisine so I'm disappointed not to be able to offer a course-by-course breakdown of our meal. What I do remember is that for our respective entrees, I ordered the pigeon and my fiancée ordered the guinea fowl. Both dishes were thoughtfully and beautifully prepared, subtle and nuanced, but also clearly delicious.
We could not have been happier with our decision to dine at Coucagno.
