Not many choices for other food that also ran out quick and got refilled really slow. Severely understaffed. No one ever came to collect the plates or at least to refill coffee for me. I saw a couple of times others asked waiter for bowls to get some food. Food doesn’t taste good anyway. Waste of time and money. The only thing good probably is the view which I already enjoyed staying with Swissotel on high floor anyway. Strongly advised against having breakfast here unless you insanely love bread and came early. Osaka feeds you well but certainly not Tavola36 whose service and food fell way below standard (even not considering it as a restaurant in a 5-star hotel). Most regrettable meal having travelled 10+ times to Osaka. Expensive for nothing but an unforgettably bad experience that I will be telling others to avoid.

The fee comes with a choice of the main soup and the appetizers and desserts are buffet (i.e. everything you can eat). The selection for me is good and very satisfied.

The dim sum options are unfortunately somewhat bland, and the Chinese dough sticks too dense. It's not terrible tasting, but personally it's not something to write home about either. FYI, was having the hotel buffet breakfast. Perhaps the lunch or dinner options might be better but not really planning to try them.

We had our welcome drinks here. Very nice view. Soft lighting, cozy ambience. read more We had our welcome drinks here. Very nice view. Soft lighting, cozy ambience.
