TS, do you know of, this location ?

Nope, can't say that I am. I could probably find it... but I am deathly allergic to Oysters.
And waking up alive in a Japanese hospital is almost worse than being dead from shellfish poisoning.
I know where this is but I haven't been there yet. Architecturally, I doubt it's the same as the original.
We now have two TSs in Tokyo.
Some lovely shots in the Photos section:

I find these places pretty in their own way too:

(The best I know for Game, Monkey's on Chelsea Green comes a good second - Is it still open?)

Oh - I'm with you now.
No and no.
Am I missing out?
Brother V. what do you drink with the Pan Roast and then the Masala?
I guess you would change drinks?
I like a little Teo Pepe then 6 Cornish Natives just as they come with a slightly chilled Chablis. I find that that is enough for me.
The Masala I would have on another day with a very cold Cobra beer.
Do you like Kulfi? I would follow the Masala with Pistacio Kulfi.

What could be better than Gin with Indian food?
An inspired choice & one I must try - Thanks.
Another area where to be correct is to be a prat:
I always say 'Gin & Tonics', but I am often told by bores that 'Gins & Tonic' is correct.
What kind of a **** would you have to be to go around saying 'Gins & Tonic'?
Being 'correct' is the enemy of style. It's also overly fussy & far too old maid-ish to my ear. Not 'Gentlemanly' neither. This is the stuff that the wannabe-Gents never get right - Just how lazy and careless the real McCoy actually is!
(Fun!)

Both in real life & on screen he'd say No. 1.
Shrimps Masala is a usage like Eggs Benedict. Not Indian.
I love the idea of the Oyster Bar--cozy and rather old-fashioned--in the middle of Grand Central Station.
