I visited with a friend for lunch. We were shown to a table with a view of the ocean and had a relaxing meal. We had the lunch course, which was delicious with fresh seafood and elaborate, elegant dishes. The sauteed sea bream from Odawara was especially delicious. The sea bream was perfectly cooked, plump and tender, and the sauce was very tasty and suited to the sea bream.
