Food: Flavors interest but don't impress

The offerings at this joint include the Kurobuta Terimayo and the Veggie Guacamole Dog, which manage to tickle taste buds in unique ways. However, the limited variety and high prices make it a one-time stop rather than a regular haunt for food lovers.

  • Great Creativity

    Menu's innovative, unique choices impress; unconventional and adventurous cuisine.

  • Okay Quality

    Ingredients like seaweed mentioned but without clear quality or freshness indicators.

Vibe: Ocean views create a chill vibe

The ambiance here is lifted by great ocean views, providing a casual dining atmosphere that feels almost like a vacation. It's a place where one could enjoy a relaxing meal while daydreaming of beaches and sunsets.

  • Okay Buzz

    WOM lacks bite-sized context to explain the neutral Buzz sway.

Perks: Frustrating wait with unhelpful staff

Long waits plague groups due to prior orders, and the service is noted as rude. This negative experience can overshadow the meal, leaving one wondering if it’s worth the trouble, especially with dietary preferences met with resistance.
