I concur about Roppongi Hills Observatory but don't forget the Big Picture too
Indeed, I second the advice that the Roppongi Hills Observatory - the night view in particular - is to be recommended.

Best Bar in Roppongi, Japan
My favorite bar in Tokyo is Heartland bar in Roppongi Hills. It is a very open and fancy bar, always lively with people, perfect for a drink before clubbing in Roppongi.

Oak Door Roppongi Hills (Grand Hyatt Hotel) also has lovely scallops
When you go to the Oak Door cafe in Roppongi Hills don't forget to order the amazing scallops. On top is crushed garlic, parsley, cilantro and herb-butter on rare, hard-to-get ~seared~ Hokkaido scallops. Perhaps, I'm crazy... I shaved off tiny bites and savored every tiny morsel. However to my dism…(78 words)

Need a Calm, Safe and Sound Harbour in the middle of Roppongi?
