I went to the izakaya I saw on TV to get some happiness❣️ It is located on the 4th floor of a building right near Hankyu Ibaraki-shi Station. The restaurant is spacious, bright, and lively. We were seated in a private room right in front. The menu is extensive with lots of dishes I like. Truly a happy izakaya❤️ If there was a place like this nearby, I would definitely visit often. - Fried fish appetizer. Made with various types of fish, it had a nice acidity that increased my appetite. - Potato salad with eggs and scallops. The eggs and scallops were plentiful, creating a gentle flavor. The richness of the scallops made this potato salad special. - Specialty! Deluxe sashimi platter for 2. I had high expectations since it was labeled as a specialty, and it exceeded them by far❣️ This platter for 2 was amazing❗️ We also received 2 additional items as a complimentary service, which was much appreciated. As a fan of raw fish, I was instantly thrilled❣️ The freshness and quality were great. - Grilled offal with plenty of green onions. The offal was tender and not greasy, with a sweet and gentle seasoning. The green onions added a nice touch. - Miracle! Premium rolled omelette. I came here wanting to try this. It was bigger and more beautiful than I expected❗️ So soft and fluffy. I fell in love with this beautiful rolled omelette❣️ The delicate dashi flavor was delightful❤️ It's a unique and delicious rolled omelette. - Spicy cod roe and grated yam yakisoba with soft-boiled egg. The yakisoba topped with cod roe, grated yam, and soft-boiled egg was a new and addictive flavor. A bit spicy, gooey, and slippery, it's a taste that I might get hooked on. - Eel stick sushi. A big piece of eel on top of the stick sushi was impressive❗️ The grilling and sauce were excellent. But I got full halfway through because of the yakisoba. Seeing that, the staff kindly offered to pack it for takeout❤️ They wrapped it carefully for me to take home. I was so happy with this thoughtful gesture. Despite being labeled as an izakaya, the dishes served were very elegant and of high quality. At the entrance, there were autographs and photos of celebrities and athletes lined up❗️ I was drawn to the autograph of EXILE's ATSUSHI❣️ It's no wonder this place is featured on TV so often. The food was delicious❤️ Thank you for the meal（╹◡╹）♡

TV and SNS popular! A hidden gem izakaya loved by celebrities, "Kisumi Izakaya". I had been wanting to come here from before, and finally, I got to meet the long-awaited item, the "Special Dashi Tamagoyaki". It truly lives up to its name! The presentation is beautiful! It is even called the "Miracle Special Dashi Tamagoyaki" and has been gaining attention in the media. It is so soft and fluffy! It has a rich dashi flavor that fills the mouth with a good aroma. The golden visual appearance is flawless, with a glossy shine. This dish, made with 6 eggs and taking 15 minutes to prepare, is truly a work of art. The texture is soft, and the dashi fills the mouth with a gentle sweetness. It is delicious even without any sauce, and remains tasty even when cold. It exceeded my expectations, and I was moved to tears by its perfection. I also tried the sashimi assortment and the oyster ponzu collaboration, which were beautifully presented, resembling a luxurious dish served by a princess in a palace. Each piece of sashimi was large and thick, allowing me to savor the sweetness of the fish with each bite. The freshness of the ingredients was evident from the vibrant colors and firm texture. The rich and flavorful oysters were creamy and paired perfectly with the ponzu sauce. The spring onion and plum roll enhanced the natural flavors and textures, making it delicious. The crispy tempura of king crab was light and fluffy, with the crab's inherent sweetness. It was truly a blissful experience. Every dish, prepared by a chef from a traditional Japanese restaurant, was outstanding. They offer a selection of Japanese sake and local sake from around the country that pair well with the dishes. The restaurant has a variety of seating options, including a counter, seats, tables, and private rooms, suitable for dates, girls' nights out, and family gatherings. It's no wonder that celebrities, fighters, athletes, YouTubers, and other famous personalities are drawn to this place. The colorful and exquisite dishes, combined with the relaxed atmosphere, make for a truly blissful dining experience. The staff were friendly and energetic, making my visit enjoyable until the end. I truly had the best and most blissful experience.

Luxurious sashimi platter and fluffy dashimaki tamago. Used for a post-golf reflection meeting. My second shots and putting were good, but my driver was off completely… We visited on a Saturday evening, and the restaurant was full, so we were able to enter with the condition that we leave by 7 pm. The staff, all cute girls, were lively and talkative, taking various orders. *Orders are placed via a touch panel. We had a sashimi platter, the popular dashimaki tamago, grilled fish, and finished with yakisoba. The sashimi platter included fresh cuts of bluefin tuna, bonito, salmon, and yellowtail, all delicious. The dashimaki tamago took about 30 minutes to cook, but it was fluffy and delicious.

I decided to go out for drinks with my family around 10 pm at a shop right by Ibuki Station in Izumi City. During the Golden Week period, it seemed like there were not enough staff available, as there were few places open late. However, this particular shop was open, so we decided to visit. When we arrived, it was clear that they were quite busy. We were asked to wait at the entrance while they cleared a table for us. Eventually, we were shown to a private room. The tables around us were still being cleaned up. We placed our orders using an iPad. Unfortunately, all the recommended dishes and sashimi were sold out, so we chose from what was available. We were able to order the shop's specialty, the dashimaki tamago, which made us happy for some reason. When our drinks and food arrived, we started eating. The dashimaki tamago was indeed delicious as recommended. The boiled edamame, however, was slightly overcooked and a bit disappointing. Overall, the food was decently tasty. I would like to try their recommendations another time. The staff was friendly, and we had a pleasant stay. The late-night atmosphere was relaxed. Since it was not crowded, the sound carried and the music and TV were a bit lively.

Monday 18:00 by reservation. This restaurant is known for its delicious fish, with celebrities such as baseball players and members of EXILE apparently frequenting it. The entrance is covered with signatures from famous people, which is surprising! The selected dishes include: - Appetizer: Tuna and grated yam (already delicious) - Scallop and egg salad - ¥680 - Luxurious sashimi assortment - ¥1860 - Salmon collar grilled in Kyoto style - ¥880 - Seasonal cod milt mapo tofu - ¥1680 - Special deluxe rolled omelette - ¥860 - Special smoked herring roe roll - ¥1260 - Miso soup (complimentary) - Matcha ice cream - ¥320 - Jim Highball - ¥450 - Draft beer - ¥600 - Hakushu Highball - ¥700 The tuna and grated yam appetizer is already delicious! The combination of seasoned grated yam and fresh tuna is amazing! The sashimi platter is a masterpiece! They even gave us a slightly more luxurious version as a service! Among the high-level sashimi, there were turban shells, pike conger, and fatty tuna... too good to be true! All this for ¥1860!? That's ridiculous. The salmon collar... is it supposed to be this big? I've never seen one this huge before! It's incredibly fatty and delicious! The seasonal cod milt mapo tofu is a Chinese-style mapo tofu with a luxurious addition of cod milt... creamy and full of umami! The standout dish was the special deluxe rolled omelette! Can you see from the picture how huge it is? And unbelievably fluffy! Are they steaming it? How many eggs did they use for this? When you taste it... so delicious! What is this perfection of a rolled omelette! The subtle flavor of the broth and the perfect texture of the egg were outstanding... this is the best rolled omelette I've ever had. I also enjoyed the rare Hakushu Highball that is hard to come by! As I was leaving, I had a chat with the owner and asked about the rolled omelette. "How do you make that rolled omelette?" I asked. "We use 6 eggs and 300cc of broth!" he replied. "You can't roll it, can you? Are you steaming it?" I continued. "No, we roll it," he said with a laugh. I couldn't believe it. He explained that he had learned how to make the best rolled omelette in Kitashinchi when he was training there. The restaurant has three branches, and even the staff other than the owner can make this rolled omelette. Unbelievable, right? All the staff were friendly and seemed to be enjoying their work, it was an amazing restaurant. I thought it was a chain restaurant based on the building, but it was completely different. I envy the Ibaraki residents for having such an amazing restaurant in front of the station. The possibilities are endless here!

Kisen Ibaraki, a popular restaurant known for its luxurious sashimi platter and giant dashimaki tamago, offers a perfect combination of taste, cost, and service.

Happy Izakaya Kizumi Osaka Hankyu Ibaraki-shi Station 1 minute walk Where should we go, what do we want to eat, we wandered in indecision and the answer we came up with was we want to eat both meat and fish! So we started looking for an izakaya! The first shop that caught our eye was this one on the 4th floor of the building with a flashy sign that at first glance looked like a Buddhist altar (lol). The name...I might be the only one who feels that way. Anyway, the taste was amazing! The president's personality was great too! No complaints! If you sit at the counter with two people, the seats are spacious and highly recommended. The only downside is that it's on the 4th floor of the building, but that's just because... (lol) The elevator is scary, and high places are scary too... But I think this will become a regular spot for us! They have yukhoe, tempura, grilled fish, everything was delicious! Even items like kimchi and bean sprouts, which don't usually have a strong flavor at izakayas, taste delicious here and can become main dishes. I want to try other dishes too, so I'm looking forward to going again soon! It's probably good for drinking alcohol too, but I think of this place as an izakaya to go and eat a hearty meal. Rice is a must!

*Sashimi assortment* *Rolled omelette* *Mentaiko and grated yam grilled dish* *Fresh oysters. The assortment was quite generous in size, and all the dishes were fresh and delicious without any fishy smell. The oysters were large and plump, providing a satisfying bite with a strong taste of the ocean. The rolled omelette took a bit of time to arrive but was worth the wait with its bouncy texture and rich broth flavor. We ordered various other dishes as well, and everything was truly delicious. Our first drinking experience in Ibaraki was a great memory!

Visited in October 2022 with a rating of 3.27 on Tabelog, "Kizumi", an izakaya in front of Ibaraki City Station, was particularly delicious with its seafood dishes last time I visited. So, when there was a drinking party this time, I decided to visit again! This time, focusing on seafood dishes and new menu items, we ordered a variety of dishes. - Draft beer (aromatic ale) 450 yen - Bottled beer (Kirin Lager) 580 yen - Appetizer 400 yen - Deluxe sashimi assortment 1,860 yen per person x 2 - Chicken meatball with ponzu sauce 860 yen - Specialty!

This time, I will only write reviews for the dishes we ate. - Deluxe sashimi assortment: Even for two people, it was quite luxurious and full of volume. They remembered my previous visit and gave us a little extra service. It included chutoro, lean tuna, salmon, sea bream, salmon roe, octopus (2 types), bonito, and more. The chutoro with caviar was especially luxurious! - Chicken meatball with ponzu sauce: The chicken meatball was packed with the umami of chicken and the refreshing ponzu sauce was delicious. - Specialty! Premium dashimaki tamago: A huge rolled omelette that surprised me with its size. The fluffy dashimaki tamago makes you want to take a video of it wobbling. - Fried winter eggplant and mozzarella cheese: The eggplant soaked in broth and the flavorful mozzarella were delicious. - Wagyu beef minced cutlet: A crispy texture followed by the rich umami of Wagyu beef that spreads in your mouth. - Plum tempura: Tempura with shrimp tempura and plum meat was also very good. - Crispy bacon and spinach cheese gratin: The white sauce was rich, and the plenty of cheese gave it a rich flavor. The combination of crispy bacon and spinach was a hit. - Grilled whole domestic eel: A hearty dish with a whole domestic eel grilled with a fluffy texture. - Chicken noodle soup with red yuzu pepper: I only had a little of the red yuzu pepper soup, but it had a good dashi flavor and was delicious. - Fragrant! Grilled rice balls: A rare big size for grilled rice balls, with a fragrant burnt soy sauce flavor that was amazing. Unusually, there was salted kelp inside! Overall, it was delicious as always. The "Kizumi Special Banquet Course (for 4 people)" starts at 3,280 yen, and with all-you-can-drink, it starts at 4,000 yen, which is also reasonable. Thank you for the meal.

From Kyoto to Ibaraki, even at a late hour without using the highway, it takes less than an hour on the local roads. The surrounding coin parking lots are also cheap. The private rooms in the front have TVs, which is nice. As usual, there are celebrity autographs lined up. The appetizer of white fish tempura and fluffy ikura is delicious. Today, I ordered a bit more octopus dishes because they had good octopus. The octopus and cucumber with plum and bonito flakes is amazing. The octopus has incredible elasticity and is very delicious. The sashimi assortment is hearty with octopus, tuna, salmon, and more, all with excellent freshness. The chicken meatballs are large and a bit spicy but tasty. The fried tomato and eggplant in dashi broth is flavorful and a great side dish. The fluffy dashimaki tamago is visually impressive and delicious. The jumbo shrimp tempura is a dream come true with plump shrimp. The red miso soup with seaweed is comforting. The tempura shrimp in a heavenly steamed bun is delicious. I will definitely be revisiting this place, especially for the shrimp tempura with tartar sauce.

Kizumi on the 4th floor in front of Ibuki Station. It seems like they have been on TV a few times. The first thing I noticed when I walked in was how friendly the staff were. They were lively and had great hospitality, just like in a nice izakaya. It's wonderful to see that they are properly trained in customer service. The menu has a lot of options, so it's hard to decide what to order. The sashimi platter was so luxurious! Everything was fresh and delicious. The raw oysters that day were from Hokkaido, I think? The specialty rolled omelette here is huge and so fluffy, it makes you wonder how many eggs they use. I wish there was a lively izakaya like this in my local area.

The shop is lively. The owner is particularly cheerful (*≧∀≦*), and provides very pleasant customer service. I found the alcohol to be a bit weak (u_u). The food is delicious, but the portions are large and I couldn't finish it all, so I'd like to go with a large group of people (=´∀｀)

This is a special izakaya that caters to various needs. I went with my family this time and confirmed once again that it is recommended! Located right near Hankyu Ibaraki-shi Station, the meal starts with a bang (deep-fried fish)! It's hot and delicious! The appetizers really hit the spot! I asked the staff for recommendations for dishes that make you feel like summer, and they were so kind and helpful! Ordering from an iPad with seasonal recommended dishes is also nice and easy to understand! The pork shabu-shabu and kimchi stamina salad, the famous extravagant sashimi platter, homemade minced meat croquettes, deep-fried eggplant and fruit tomatoes, green onion and plum meat rolls, and green onion and eel dashimaki were all ordered. There's no way to go wrong with the sashimi, it's a must-try! The freshness and presentation are top-notch! The kids loved the minced meat croquettes! The deep-fried dishes were enjoyable for the adults. But above all, the dashimaki here is the best! It takes time to prepare, so order with plenty of time. When you shake the plate, it goes "brun-brun"♪ Oh, the dashimaki dance is so fun! I had a few other dishes, but I drank too much and forgot, haha. The atmosphere in the restaurant is lively, the service is great, and the quality of the food is amazing. Thank you for the feast! 781

With impeccable taste, they bring out the deliciousness of carefully selected ingredients, giving diners a sense of happiness. The restaurant is popular for its casual atmosphere with upbeat background music, where guests can enjoy a feast in a relaxed manner. The clientele is diverse, appealing to people of all ages and genders. Upon opening, reservations are already being made, so I was the first to enter and take photos of the interior. Despite being a high-end establishment, the lively sound of the BGM and the energetic voices of the staff welcoming guests create a vibrant atmosphere in this izakaya!

Meeting up with a close reviewer friend from the same generation after a long time, we were both indecisive about where to eat because there were so many options we wanted to try. Eventually, we settled on a place that was equidistant from both of our homes, and we found this spot through a search. It was a seafood restaurant, which I hadn't had in a while, so I was excited to go. The restaurant is located on the 4th floor of a building, just a 3-minute walk from Hankyu Ibaraki Station. It has a total of 94 seats, but the layout made it feel more cozy and welcoming rather than a large establishment. We were seated at a semi-private table, and we ordered the following dishes: - Firefly squid and seared octopus with vinegar miso - Potato salad with scallops - Deluxe sashimi assortment - Chicken meatball with ponzu sauce - Famous rolled omelette - Extra-large shrimp fry - Grilled rice balls, miso soup The menu was extensive, and we asked the staff for recommendations while making our choices. The dishes we tried were all delicious, with highlights including the firefly squid and seared octopus, the deluxe sashimi assortment, and the famous rolled omelette. The only downside was that the soy sauce for sashimi was a bit too strong. Overall, the restaurant provided a great dining experience with fresh and tasty dishes. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the service was excellent. I would definitely recommend this place to others. Thank you for the wonderful meal!

There is a restaurant located on the 4th floor of a building about a 2-minute walk from Hankyu Ibaraki-shi Station West Exit. I went out with a close reviewer friend after a long time. I wanted to go to this restaurant because the dashimaki tamago looked delicious. Recently, there are many places where when the elevator opens, it leads directly into the restaurant, but this restaurant had a proper entrance right after the elevator. The staff greeted us as soon as we entered. Inside, there were many autographs from baseball players, soccer players, and celebrities. It had been a long time since I had been in such a lively atmosphere with music playing. We decided to order the menu items that we had been interested in on Tabelog and Instagram. - Firefly squid and seared octopus with vinegar miso dressing: A favorite of mine as a lady from the Showa era who loves vinegar miso dressing. - Deluxe sashimi platter: Wow! The platter was so impressive with medium fatty tuna, fatty tuna, salmon, yellowtail, salmon roe, horned turban, octopus with plum meat, and bonito. The crab-shaped carrot was a delightful touch. The flavors of the ocean were evident in the horned turban. - Scallop potato salad: I'm always happy when there are scallops. - Chicken meatball with ponzu sauce: A must-have for chicken lovers, with a refreshing ponzu sauce instead of regular sauce. - Famous dashimaki tamago: Here it is! A must-have for egg lovers! The dashi was delicious, and it was great with grated daikon. - Giant shrimp fry: Today, there were large shrimp included, which got me excited as a shrimp lover! It had a satisfying crunch! Can I have it all to myself? I dove right in. - Grilled rice ball and miso soup: Although the fresh rice ball that was brought to the table was tempting, I love the grilled rice ball. It was big and filled with kelp. Overall, everything was very filling. It was the weekend, and the restaurant was packed with families and male customers. It seemed to be a popular spot in the local area.

Today I went to Ibaraki. Ibaraki is a place I used to commute to every day during high school, and also a place I visited to get my driver's license as an adult. When I arrived at Ibaraki City Station after a long time, it seemed like it had changed but also stayed the same (^◇^;) I couldn't quite recall the old days as I entered the restaurant. I arrived at the restaurant at 7:00 pm. The restaurant is located about a 3-minute walk from Hankyu Ibaraki City Station, on the fourth floor of a building along the railway tracks on the north side of the station. As soon as you enter the restaurant, you are greeted by numerous autographs of celebrities (((o(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)o))) It seems like many famous people have visited. The interior of the restaurant has a counter facing the kitchen, about three box-type table seats, and one private room. And there seems to be a spacious tatami room in the back as well, like a large banquet hall. The menu mainly consists of seafood, meat, fried food, side dishes for alcohol, and hot pot dishes. I ordered some items that were recommended. The prices on the menu seemed a bit high, but the dishes were surprisingly generous in portion size, and considering the quality, they were quite reasonable (*´∀`)♪ Especially the seafood dishes were exceptionally delicious (*≧∀≦*) If you want to try a variety of dishes, it's recommended to visit with about four people. The restaurant was always bustling, showing that it is loved by the locals. Maybe even some of my classmates were there? Thank you for the meal.＜Food＞Prices do not include tax○Otoshi (price unknown) ... Firefly squid and raw octopus with vinegar miso dressing.

This is a specialty that has been featured on TV, dashimaki. It had a bouncy texture with a strong dashi flavor, a dashimaki that goes well with alcohol.

It was a jumbo-sized prawn fry that seemed to be about three times the size of a regular shrimp fry (*≧∀≦*) I wasn't satisfied with the shrimp tempura I had at a certain restaurant for lunch the other day, so I wanted to eat a substantial amount of shrimp, and I was very satisfied (*´∀`)♪ It came with tartar sauce and regular sauce, so I could enjoy it without getting tired of the taste.○Chicken noodle soup (860 yen) ... A slightly thick and flat type of noodle soup. The broth was rich, and the sweetness of the onion permeated gently, creating a gentle flavor.◎Umeboshi-wrapped princess leek (960 yen) ... The combination of princess leek and umeboshi was refreshing and reset the inside of the mouth. Even when you're full, you can't help but want to pick at it (*≧艸≦)＜Drinks＞Prices do not include tax・Draft beer (480 yen) ...

I've been wanting to visit this restaurant ever since I saw their dashimaki on TV, but I never had the chance to go to this area. Then, a friend suggested going out for drinks after the curfew was lifted, so I suggested going to Ibaraki City and made a reservation at this restaurant. We arrived at the restaurant on Sunday at 5 o'clock, it was very convenient as it was right near the station. The restaurant is located on the 4th floor of a building. As soon as we entered, we were greeted by a large number of autographs from celebrities and athletes, including EXILE. Despite having a casual izakaya atmosphere, this place felt special! The interior of the restaurant has counter seats, private rooms, semi-private rooms, and tatami seating, suitable for various occasions. We were seated at a semi-private table. We started with a draft beer for ¥480 and a delicious appetizer of bonito and firefly squid with vinegar miso for ¥400. The highlight was the extravagant sashimi platter for ¥1820 per person, which included a variety of fresh sashimi and seafood. We also tried the special premium dashimaki for ¥860, which was soft and flavorful. The jumbo-sized fried prawn for ¥680 was also a must-try. We couldn't resist ordering the large prawn fry, which was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The staff recommended the Hime Negi Ume Roll for ¥980, which had a nice seaweed aroma. We ended the meal with a delicious miso soup and a glass of Hana Kake (cloudy sake) for ¥520. Overall, the food was amazing and the service was great. I highly recommend this restaurant for a special dining experience.

I got off at Hankyu Ibaraki-shi Station for the first time in a while. Since it had been a while, I wasn't sure where to go, so I headed to a restaurant recommended by a friend. It was the modern Ibaraki-shi Station Building on the 4th floor, just a 2-minute walk from Ibaraki-shi Station, called "Kizui Izakaya of Happiness". As soon as the elevator reached the 4th floor, there was the entrance right there (lol) Very easy to find! The entrance was filled with autographs of celebrities and athletes! We were led to a private room that my friend had reserved. ★ The Premium Malt's - Aromatic Ale - (Medium) I love the Premium Malt's Aromatic Ale! Cheers! Ah~ Perfect for the season when the water starts to get warm!!! The refreshing beer going down the throat feels so good ♡ ★ Otoshi Tuna and Firefly Squid Vinegar Miso with Flying Fish Roe The fresh firefly squid and tuna were so flavorful, it almost felt like they were fatty? The vinegar miso paired really well. ★ Luxurious Sashimi Octopus with Ume Paste, Hamachi, Toro, Salmon, Abalone, Salmon Roe, Seared Bonito, etc. Super luxurious! A variety of fresh sashimi that even Urashima Taro would be surprised by! It had been a while since I had enjoyed sashimi with such a rich taste and texture ♡ ★ Rock Oyster Thick Oyster from Akkeshi, Hokkaido I was surprised by the size of the thick Akkeshi oyster - the shell was full of meat! It had a firm texture but a creamy sweetness that oyster lovers would find irresistible! We enjoyed it with ponzu and soy sauce. ★ Authentic Shochu - Hyakunen no Kodoku I wanted to drink the barley shochu "Hyakunen no Kodoku". It was easy to drink with no strong flavor, and had a rich taste. ★ Hanagaki Cloudy Sake A cloudy sake in a Tsugaru Biidoro cup that can be chosen. I love Tsugaru Biidoro, so I was happy with just this ♡ It had a high fragrance and was very easy to drink. ★ Miracle "Premium Dashimaki Tamago" This premium dashimaki tamago is a recommended dish at the restaurant. It apparently takes 15 minutes to make one! It was jiggly even when it was brought to us! The taste of the dashimaki tamago was also very good, so good that I wanted to pair it with rice. It was awarded first place in the fluffy rolled omelette category on a TV show. Understandable! ★ Super Giant!! Large Shrimp Fry with Special Tartar Sauce If it had been served on a plate, it might have been difficult to tell how big the shrimp was, but it was very large and plump! The filling was packed tightly, providing a satisfying bite! Every dish at this restaurant is truly exquisite! ★ Ume Paste Rolled in Princess Leek and Miso Soup The visually appealing princess leek roll was delicious and fitting as the final touch. And the miso soup was excellent! I was thoroughly entertained until the end. The food and drinks were excellent. Although it's a bit far from my home, this is a restaurant worth coming to Ibaraki-shi for, with menu items and flavors that made me want to come back with friends. The staff's service was also impressive. It's a restaurant that even celebrities frequent, and I had a great meal. Thank you.

Visited here for a drink. Located on the 4th floor of a building, so it's better to call ahead before visiting! The menu is all touch screen, so you can check the bill amount each time! The food is mainly seafood, but they also have a good selection of side dishes! Thank you for the meal!
