ド・マーニ — Restaurant in Shimoda

If you thought all japanes people were polite, that Italian restaurants were child friendly or that restaurants valued people dining in their establishments, then their place will show you just how wrong you are. The elderly lady who plays the part of owner/server dresses as if she is at a catholic convent and treats customers like the antichrist.

The place was deserted, and yet we were chastised for turning up with a (sleeping) child. Made our entire visit as uncomfortable as possible. Had to leave early and really ruined the entire experience.

Despite being the only ones in the place, meals could only come out individually and so we had to share everything. Lucky there arnt any other customers or I don't know how they would cope. Also, the music choice of solo piano at high volume is rather off putting.

It would take Michelin star food to make up for the attitude problem we received and the food just doesn't...

Domani, run by a senior couple with passion is a fine places to have western food in Shimoda! Nice wine selection is available and prices for food and drinks are very reasonable. You need to reserve in advance and a noisy crowd is not welcome!...

初めて訪れたのはもう18年くらい前だったと思う。目を付けていた鴨料理専門店の目の前まで行って気が変わりこちらに訪問した。 当時は飛び込みで伺い運良く入る事が出来たが、今から思えば奇跡に近い。 それから下田や熱川に訪れる際には必ず予約をして旅のメインになるお店だ。 対応が悪いとの評判が散見される。私も最初はそう思った。 しかし通ううちにこちらの食べたい物を可能な限り把握して美味しくリーズナブルにゆっくりと食べさせてくれる仕組みなんだと気がついた。 子供の入店禁止なんかもこの範疇に入るのだと思う。 最初はコースを勧められるので黙ってそれを頂いて、次の予約時にアラカルトで気になったモノを作れるか聞くくらいの感じで徐々に入り込んで行く事をオススメしたい。 ファミレスの様なサービスを期待す...
