祝日の夕方にうかがいました。ランチも終わり、ほぼ貸し切りでゆっくりと過ごせました。 目の前に海が広がり、双眼鏡も置いてありました!運が良ければイルカが見れるのだとか 駐車場も敷地内にたくさんありました。

HPに記載されていた、お店のコンセプトやオーナーの想いを見て、絶対に行こうとすぐ決めました。”生きる”って名前のレストラン。素敵。 長い事、皮膚の難病で辛い治療と闘ってる知り合いの子を連れて行きました(薬で症状を抑えている状態)。 身体に優しい食事、芸術点の高い盛り付け。そして目の前に広がるパノラマの海、雲一つ無い天気に助けられ、めちゃめちゃ喜んで、楽しんでくれました。 この子を笑顔にしてくれたレストランに、感謝。また必ず。

Best cafe by seaside, best place to view sunset. The menu is really picked and worth trying it. The owner is really friendly and kind, you will enjoy conversation with him. Has outside seating, parking.. I have been here several times and I always love spending time there. Food menu is also amazing, takeout is also available. . Highly recommended to try.

Had a lovely cup of iced tea and spent a wonderful afternoon studying and looking at the ocean. Absolutely amazing atmosphere, incredibly relaxing, just the right balance of personal and private. Strongly recommend for anyone in the area. I didn't get any food last time so I'm not reviewing that, but the service the atmosphere and the experience was wonderful. The view is amazing I cannot stress this enough.
