倉敷ワインバル 八十八商店

I think this place is a bit of a hidden gem, it's in the covered shopping area and could be easily overlooked but I'm glad we found it. We ordered a few side dishes and a couple of mains, tapas style. The beef dish that was on really was the star. We were seated at the counter which offers good view...s of the kitchen, but there was also seating in the rear and more upstairs. The place filled up quickly so it may be advisable to book, we got there early on a Friday night and got a seat easily. Staff were very friendly and I was quite surprised at how cheap the bill was at the end of the night. I heartily recommend that you try it out if you are in the area. Great little place.

We were wandering the area when a pleasant server stepped out and invited us in....we hesitated, but thought the ambiance looked and sounded good! What a delight! An English menu Is available on a iPad - wine is not listed in English but easily described by a server. The food is creative and deli...cious. High marks for this excellent establishment.

Not knowing any Japanese, we were tempted by the few pictures from the menu when the chef came outside and lured us in with a friendly smile and the promise he would be our translator. Seated at the counter we immediately knew we shouldn’t have hesitated....each dish is prepared fresh from the start... with care and eye for detailed and tasted just great! Plenty to choose from, delicate raw fish with their own sauce, tender meat, calamares, fresh pasta,....Would go back frequently if wasn’t over 14 hiurs flight from home...

You are traveling in Japan and you have been dutifully trying a lot of weird food and you need a break. You know, a good pizza, a great steak a nice salad or even some french fries. We were 10 desperate Americans seeking appetite relief when we wandered into Yaochchi Shouten. Our rumbling stomachs ...made for loud and disorderly ordering from a wonderful young Japanese waitress that handled the cacophony with grace and a terrific smile. When we discovered the beef dish available was lightly breaded, we needed to change it! we didn't think she understood this subtle English nuance, the language barrier can be menacing to getting exactly what you think you ordered. Momentarily she returned with a separate menu with a picture of the beef exactly as we described our desire. We ordered up. Mountains of delicious fries, with catchup, wonderful margarita pizzas, good pasta and even fried chicken, we finally dug into the mouth-watering tasty beef accompanied with a decent bottle of Margaux. All ten of us rated everything a 10. Go even if you are Japanese and want to try a little soul food from the west. Last anecdote: I got up to pay what was a reasonably priced bill and we were on our way out when the creative waitress singled me across the alley. We walked over to a little 5 seater competitive restaurant where they were grilling up delicious wagyu beef. She explained our steak had come from them Now, that is what I call going the extra mile to make the customer happy. A 10 plus experience.
