THE STRINGS Omotesando - Minato City

I went to the cafe called Zelkova and was double charged on my credit card. Incompetent service.

Outdoor seating is lovely and warm in winter. Some of their staff speak English so it's easy to order.

The decoration of this place is eye-catching inside and outside They accommodated us in the lovely outdoors. Food servings are generous and a good value for money Traffic noise and exhaust smell are a problem during peak hours

perfect place to hang out with family and friends the staff are accommodating and friendly the food are great with reasonable price the seats are very comfy wanna go back there soon.

We had the most incredibly wonderful time at the restaurant. We booked an afternoon tea party for ten people. One of the guests was vegan and the restaurant made a special meal for her that she reported was delicious and filling. The afternoon tea sets were increadibly beautiful and really delicious. We could order as many non-alcoholic drinks as we wanted included in the set price. Some of the guests had arrived 30min too early by mistake, but the restaurant seated them anyway. We also stayed for a very long time and again the restaurant accomodated us and didn't make us feel like we had overstayed our welcome. The staff happily took photos for us of the group. It was a special celebration and the staff were so friendly and accomodating and everything so elegant that it really has been the best afternoon tea experience of my life (I have been to several in Tokyo). Check out their website for their deals and themes for afternoon tea which changes seasonally I believe.

It’s cute but that’s about it. Food is so so and service is so so. Way too crowded in the time like this. It’s only ¥4368 for afternoon tea so basically You get what you paid for. If you want nice classy legit afternoon tea then go to Ritz or Peninsula or Palace instead. This place might be good for just casual hang out.

I went for the strawberry sweets buffet. I made a reservation three weeks in advance. The week of the reservation I received a call telling me I'd need to cancel my reservation or select a different date...due to corona virus. I made the reservation during the state of emergency so I was confused. Hadn't they accounted for this? I called back and they couldn't explain why I needed to reschedule, only that it was unavoidable. I asked a Japanese friend to get more information for me and they gave her the run-around. She pressed the issue and they said they would call back. They called back and agreed to let us keep the reservation but moved the time slighly. We arrived at the venue and everything was fine. It was a little bit tacky, lots of Barbie paraphernalia mixed with floral wedding decorations. There were about a dozen or so strawberry dessert items, some served dishes and a strawberry chocolate fountain. Our table was unlike the others and was set apart in a corner. This was obviously an accommodation they made. Perhaps they overbooked? It worked to our advantage though because all the other tables were clustered together. The buffet had rules; you had to wait for your table number to be called and you could only go through the buffet once. While we waited, we were served a started plate with beet and potato salad and raw ham. It was pretty good. It was followed by a braised beef? dish that was great. I noticed my companions and the nearest tables I could see each received one or two large pieces of meat. My serving was little bits, and end pieces. I couldn't help but feel it might have been retribution for not accepting their proposed rescheduling request. The flavor was excellent and the meat was tender, so I happily ate it. The potatoes were creamy and flavorful. They served a white curry that was very nice. There was also a free-flowing drink bar. The desserts were ordinary. There was a champagne jelly shooter that was very good. The muffin-cakes were a bit dry, the stawberry tart was mushy and everything else was ok. I originally pilled on as much as I could because we could only go through once. Then I noticed everyone else making multiple visits so I did. The server at one point told my friend she could only go once, but I encouraged her not to comply with the request because nobody else was. After that, it was fine. The savory foods were the best. The desserts, were forgettable, except for the champagne jelly shooter. I wouldn't return to this event, but I might visit the restaurant downstairs to see if I can order the braised meat dish.

I checked out this place for their Christmas themed afternoon tea set. The Dumbo restaurant literally gave the vibes of a dreamy land with all things white and pretty. The sumptuous looking spread spread included a lot of Christmas-themed desserts, drinks, DUMBO special white Caesar salad and roasted chicken. The only thing I think they should have added to the set was a selection of drinks like cappuccino or cafe latte, but otherwise I had a great time and really enjoyed the food and ambience.
