Where to eat
The Gray Chef. Excellent cuts of meat. The Small Devil. Italian. The food is alright but not spectacular. Pizza is hit or miss. Mai Tian. French and American cuisine; the filet is a great meat choice. Total meal is about ¥160. Food overall is quite good and there is a decent wine menu. This is the only restaurant in town with truly Western service (servers will let you study the menu before asking you to order).
