Ota, Gunma, Japan｜La Terrace Creole

Go, go, go! This is the best meal in Ota and the friendliest people! My friend and I went on a Friday night around 6:30. Easy parking. We each ordered the beef set: soup, entree, bread, salad, dessert, and tea. To our delight, the chef came to the table and told us about the meal we were about to eat. All the fruit and herbs were from the property, cut fresh. We had a pleasant evening and our waitress took good care of us. After we paid for our meals, the chef struck up a conversation - he in broken English and we in broken Japanese - and before we knew it, he was showing us around the yard, pointing out the fruit and herbs. He even gave us cuttings to take home! We also learned that before COVID, they used to have live music (he plays the guitar), but for now the instruments are under dust covers. Maybe it will begin again? Meanwhile, two friends were celebrating a birthday and she was given a decorative slice with candles. There was more to that party, but you can appreciate it for yourself should you choose to celebrate your birthday there. My only critique is that the interior is a little run down, but DO NOT let it detract from the dining experience! Think of it as cozy and quaint. We will definitely be returning in the near future and highly recommend La Terrace Creole! Thank you for a wonderful evening!

I had a nice meal with a choice of desserts. The meat was tender and delicious.

I went on a Sunday afternoon. It's a good place to have a girls' night out. I was alone, but it felt comfortable. Lunch was cheap and I wanted to order something else.
