The Stones — Restaurant in Kyoto

TERRIBLE!! How does this establishment have a rating of 4.9???? We have been to many places in Kyoto and Tokyo and this is the first poor experience. The person who saw us when we walked in did not greet or look at us and there were no other customers needing attention. We were not shown how or where to order either.

There is a good selection of drinks, the food portions are adequate and the prices are fair. Although the ribs were not what we expected, (we were imagining American style spareribs instead of beef ribs) they were delicious-very tender and juicy. The fries could be a little crispier. Nice catalog of Rolling Stones when not...
