Update July 2009: This restaurant has moved to Kitanakagusuku area, but we have not been to the new location.
Location: Hamby - the restaurant is visible from the 58, and is on the first street parallel to the 58. If heading south on the 58 turn as if going to San A. Take a right at the end of the street, and the next right you can so you are heading east as if returning to the 58. Then turn left and you are now on the street running parallel to the 58. The restaurant is on the left, about 3 blocks north.

This is a cute place for a lunch set, decorated in american country style with little crafts and placards with sayings in english, with light streaming in the windows.
For lunch, you chose either the daily plate (950Y) or the salad plate (850), or a la carte from a sampling of pasta dishes. The daily plate includes soup, choice of bread or rice, a huge plate with multiple small serving of different items, dessert, and coffee/tea.
Their menu rotates, and is posted in Japanese on the wall. Our soup was a brothy leek/potato which was quite nice with the addition of salt and freshly ground pepper (on your table). The daily plate had a green salad, a mini pork stew, 3 slices of cucumber kimchee, broccoli rabe tempura, pan-fried fish with capers, potatoes and white beans with garlic and tomato, and tofu with mushrooms. This food was an interesting and appealing combination of western and japanese flavours. The fish and potato dishes were particularly good. Three different types of bread were served, all fresh and tasty. We were shocked to discover they will refill your coffee cup. Unfortunately though, the coffee is served with a dense cream-like substance, not milk or half-and-half. The dessert was a lovely scoop of chocolate chip ice cream, which was light and icy like a sorbet, and tasted house-made. All in all, a great meal, and the ability to sample so many different things makes it feel a tiny bit like having tapas for lunch.
