    Everything was perfect. Not cheap, but the food was amazing and service was just right. We had a decent view of the ocean which was fun.

    The food was not very good. The fish was so overcooked and dry it was hard to swallow it.

    誕生日記念の食事を家族とすると事前にお伝えして、海側の席を希望していました。16時の予約時間に伺うと、25分待てば海側を準備出来ると言われ、10分後に案内頂き最高の時間を過ごせました。ありがとうございました。
