Frommer's Review
For Western fare near the castle and Korakuen, head for the Okayama Plaza Hotel's ninth-floor restaurant, which has the added benefit of castle views. Because the a-la-carte menu is limited to only a few dishes such as seafood pilaf and rice curry, you'll probably want to order one of the set meals that change monthly, described only in Japanese but usually featuring fish or beef for Western fare. Japanese set meals include obento lunch boxes, tempura, and the local favorite, barazushi. Or, if it's not crowded, you can come just for a drink. This is a nice place to relax after a day of sightseeing.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
