Suggestions for a birthday dinner in Nagoya

I will travel to Nagoya in a couple of weeks to meet a friend for her birthday. I wanted to take her to a nice place where we could celebrate her birthday. I am looking for a nice intimate atmosphere with or without a view and wonderful food. She likes a good steak but also likes seafood. The last time I was there we went to Johnnies Brasserie where the food and view were perfect. Any suggestions?

Did you try a google search? They usually have pictures as well of what the place looks like inside and out. Sometimes it's just easier to do your own research instead of asking random people on a forum who may not know much about Nagoya.

Hey OP, sorry I cant help but you might find that not too many posters here spend a lot of time in Nagoya so there hasnt been much help for you. We have only spent a few days in Nagoya quite a while ago and I have nothing useful for you, otherwise we tend to be passing through and dont get out of the train station.

I would possibly look at tripadvisor

It may be difficult to choose because of the large number of restaurants, but I think Tabelog is also helpful.

If the location is important, I thought a place where you can see Horikawa or around Nagoya Port would be good.
The building called COLORS. 366 that I found on Google Map seems to have a good atmosphere.

Among them, MERAKI RIVERET is a seafood restaurant.

The affiliated restaurant MERAKI KITCHEN is also a seafood restaurant.

The casual menu may be the main, but this is also facing Horikawa and the location is good.

My wifefs family is from Nagoya (we live in New Zealand). Generally we donft eat steak in Nagoya / Japan, the quality is quite poor unless you want to spend a lot of money. So sorry canft really help, do a google search as others have suggested.

This might help, Kobe beef is delicious but $$$
