Frommer's Review

This smart-looking, bright, and airy restaurant, with large windows overlooking southern Kyoto, is trendier and more upbeat than most hotel restaurants that specialize in buffets (which tend toward the utilitarian) and is also smaller, with fewer than 100 seats. Because of that, there are seatings for lunch (11:30am-1pm, 1:30-3pm) and dinner (5:30-7pm and 7:30-9pm). Though you don't have to arrive at the beginning of each seating, you do have to leave when your time is up. Its plentiful spreads offer a bit of everything, from fish to pasta. After dinner, retire to the Southern Court cocktail lounge on the same floor, which offers the same view over Kyoto and live piano music (best of all, there's no cover or music charge).

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
