DoubleDoors — Restaurant in Kamakura

I recently had the pleasure of dining at this charming restaurant with a stunning seaside view. The atmosphere is undeniably delightful, creating the perfect setting for a memorable meal. Sitting outside, the gentle breeze and the soothing sound of the sea added a special touch to the experience.

One of the highlights of this establishment is the exquisite food. The menu offers a diverse selection, and I was thoroughly impressed. The pasta dishes were beautifully prepared and full of flavor. The steak was a true culinary delight, cooked to perfection. The rice dishes, too, were a pleasant surprise, showcasing a unique and delightful taste.

The only minor inconvenience was the lack of on-site parking, but it was easily compensated by the convenience of nearby parking for a reasonable fee. It's important to note that the overall experience was so delightful that this minor issue hardly detracted from the overall satisfaction.

To complete the experience, their drinks menu offers a variety of options, and each drink I tried was as delicious as the last. The staff was courteous and attentive, further enhancing the dining experience. In summary, this restaurant is a hidden gem, offering an ideal blend of ambiance, delectable dishes, and ocean views. I would highly recommend it to anyone seeking a memorable...

Encountered rude staff at the restaurant.

We initially placed our order using the QR code, but decided to take a break to enjoy the sea view and some yaki bread we had purchased elsewhere. Suddenly, a staff member dashed out from the kitchen, scolding us with a firm ‘no!’ as I put the bread in my mouth, making us uncomfortable.

He insisted we needed to place another order, even though we had already ordered. After checking the app, he told me ‘はいてない’ (not ordered), leaving me confused. Despite this, I placed a second order. Overhearing them discuss us, using the term ‘外国人’ (foreigners) with my limited Japanese knowledge, left me feeling displeased and offended.

Later, I realized there were two separate orders, so I asked to cancel the whole order to start fresh, but they said the kitchen was already preparing our first order, so we couldn’t cancel it. They only canceled the second order, and we ended up ordering a dessert to accommodate three of us, with no apology from the staff.

The wagyu steak was kinda chewy it’s hard to bite, the fried rice itself was kinda salty and oily. The snow crab spaghetti with no food presentation and French toast were alright.

The waitlist system is extremely poorly managed. Everyone is asked to put their name on the list even if there are multiple tables available. If you want to run the place on a paper list then you should monitor it regularly and attend to it timely. However, the waitress kept walking by without checking the list when there were clearly more than 5 available tables. It’s unclear whether it’s genuine poor management or it’s the restaurant’s attempt to appear more popular than it is. Nonetheless, the waiting time is unnecessarily long and a terrible experience because the whole thing was very confusing. Once we were finally seated, it also took them super long to bring us any water. The...
