料理、サービス共に良かったと思います。
雰囲気もかなり良く事前に花の注文も出来るので
大切な人と行くのに適した場所です。
お肉もおいしかったですが、特に魚料理が美味しかったです。
パイに包まれていて本当に美味しいです。

大阪城が見える席に座りたかったですが、窓側の席だったのですが柱が邪魔で大阪城が見えなかったです。目の前に馬鹿でかいytvのビルがありせっかくの夜景がビル一色になってしまったのが唯一の残念なところです。
入り口付近の窓側の席をお勧めします。
柱を挟むとビルしか目の前に見えないためです。

I think both the food and the service were good.
The atmosphere is quite nice and you can order flowers in advance.
It's a good place to go with your loved ones.
The meat was delicious, but the fish dishes were especially delicious.
It's wrapped in a pie and it's really delicious.

I wanted to sit in a seat with a view of Osaka Castle, but I was seated by the window, but the pillars were in the way and I couldn't see Osaka Castle. The only regret is that there was a huge YTV building right in front of me, so the night view was completely dominated by the building.
We recommend a window seat near the entrance.
This is because if you look across the pillar, all you can see is the building.
