I just had a spectacular dinner at Sakura.
The waitress was very friendly from the moment I arrived with great attention to detail on what I was wanting and then good at making suggestions for me.
As always from all the Japanese restaurants I go to, edamame will continue to be my favourite snack.
All food and a cocktail drink in the photo, total was approximate $130 Australian dollar, which is a satisfactory price of a 5star restaurant for one person.

The person who served us was exceptionally polite and courteous. The food was absolutely delicious and filling. A bit pricey but for anyone staying at the hotel, its a must visit.

It felt like I have booked the entire restaurant as we were the only people eating at 9pm on a Wednesday. So yes, felt quite regal and the food and service was top notch. Albeit on the expensive side. So if you can afford 4 pcs of sushi for 1000 + tax, this is a great place to go to.
