Tabelog ratingGrill a Table (グリル ア ターブル) offers a classic teppanyaki experience focused on high-quality local ingredients from Kagawa Prefecture. The main draw is the performance at the counter, where chefs prepare dishes to order on a hot iron plate. The star of the menu is Olive beef, a regional specialty prized for its flavour, which is served as steak or in tasting comparisons. The restaurant is also widely praised for its Olive-beef hamburger, a popular and affordable lunch option.
Guests consistently praise the perfectly cooked beef, the juicy hamburger, and the flavourful garlic fried rice prepared on the teppan. The seasonal grilled vegetables and carefully plated desserts, such as French toast and crème brûlée variations, also receive frequent mentions. The staff are noted for being welcoming and attentive, often providing an English menu for international visitors. A few reviewers have found some dishes slightly too salty or noted that service can be slow during peak hours, but these are minor and infrequent complaints.
For lunch, reviewers in 2024–2026 typically paid around ¥1,800 for the popular Olive-beef hamburger set. Dinner courses offer the best value and are the most common choice, with prices ranging from ¥4,500 to ¥10,000; several guests recommended the ¥10,000 omakase set. Premium options featuring lobster or special cuts of beef can cost up to ¥20,000 per person. While à la carte ordering is possible, most find the set courses to be more generous and cost-effective.
