ピンクサファイア♪
I read the review by reviewer Connelly and decided to visit this place that had been abandoned for a long time, riding on the popularity of nemophila. I had made a reservation for a terrace seat, so I was guided from the spacious interior to the terrace. There were two stoves and large umbrellas on the terrace. I arrived around 2 p.m. for the dessert set, so I asked if it was okay to just have tea (not a meal), and I was surprised when only the drink menu was brought to me. I saw banana juice on the menu, so I decided to change my order to a dessert set, but was told they couldn't make it today. I then asked if they had cake, and another staff member brought a menu and said there was no cake, only a dessert plate. They also mentioned that there were no drink sets available. The review I referred to was from five years ago, so it's understandable that there have been changes, but I still felt that the customer service was not very friendly. I was planning to have a quick dessert set, so I wasn't very hungry and didn't have much time, so I asked for something that would be served quickly. What I received was as follows (excluding tax and a 10% service charge): - Rum raisin butter sandwich 300 yen - Cafe au lait 750 yen Despite the restaurant being empty, I was made to wait for quite a while, and when I started to worry about the time, they brought only the cafe au lait, saying they would bring the butter sandwich later. The feeling of despair at that moment... I had no choice but to wait, and two rather tall butter sandwiches were served, with the advice to eat them quickly before they melted. Due to time constraints and my stomach, I had planned to sneakily take one home in a ziplock bag, but that ambition was shattered. The buttercream with rum raisins was generously sandwiched, and the cookie was also delicious. The buttercream was firm because it was well chilled, so it took some time to eat. The cafe au lait, with steamed milk, was delicious, but I wondered if it was actually a cafe latte... When I checked the receipt to write this review, I found that a service charge had been added. Hmm, I felt that was worse than a restaurant that doesn't charge a service fee... Could it be that the lack of a sweet and affordable set is due to financial difficulties? It was disappointing that despite having a pleasant terrace seat surrounded by greenery.
