Tabelog ratingSCAPES THE SUITE (スケープス ザ スィート) is a restaurant within a small hotel in the coastal town of Hayama, prized for its direct views over Sagami Bay — on clear days, you can see Enoshima Island and Mount Fuji. The kitchen presents a monthly tasting menu concept called “the colour of Hayama,” a fusion of French technique and seasonal Japanese ingredients. A signature moment is the fresh focaccia, baked and served at your table.
Guests consistently praise the inventive, ingredient-focused dishes and beautiful plating. Highlights from reviews include low-temperature cooked buri (yellowtail), water octopus, and main courses like Japanese beef rump (kokusan-gyu ichibo) or Yamayuri pork. The lunch courses are frequently cited as offering excellent value for the quality and setting.
However, many reviewers report slow or inattentive service, with long waits between courses and missed requests. While most praise the food, a minority noted small portions or occasional misses in the cooking of fish dishes. This inconsistency makes it a less certain choice for an important celebration where flawless service is key.
Reviewers in 2024–2026 typically spent ¥4,000–¥4,999 for lunch and ¥10,000–¥14,999 for dinner. A full lunch course was recently reported at around ¥4,800, with some special menus priced at ¥7,500. Those ordering à la carte should note a seating and bread charge of ¥800 per person.
