The chocolate fondue with fresh fruit was a fun highlight. The marshmallows were a bit sweet for my taste, though.

The baguettes and sliced bread were so soft and fluffy. I liked that they warmed up the loaf I bought to take away. Good selection.

The complimentary coffee after dinner was a nice touch. Just take your receipt to the annex next door. Got a latte and a croissant&mdash;still warm from the oven! ☕️ A sweet way to end the meal.

The menu is compact but thoughtful. They really let the local Niigata ingredients shine. The seafood was incredibly fresh, and the mountain vegetables had such a clean, delicate flavor. A very pleasant and focused meal.

The seasonal roast iced coffee is a solid choice. Refreshing, not too acidic. Just right for the heat.

Parking&#39;s a bit tight here, only fits a couple cars. I ended up using the paid lot down the street and walking over. Not a huge deal, but good to know before you head out.
