Marroad Hakone location put it to some disadvantage to access to the nearby Gora station for Japanese food and some simple shopping. But Marroad impressed me with her European beauty, nostalgic feeling and the excellent service attitude with every male staffs suit up. Because evening time at winter get darken earlier and the hotel transport service only serves between 9am to 6pm, I chose their French style dinner which needed to be ordered. It is the only choice, at 7400 Yen. But I can assure you, it is really worth trying. The set up in the restaurant like French, silver utensils, and a menu printed per your ordered. Starter was great that tickled your appetite, potato soup had a nice aroma telling you it was done fresh and flavored, the fish was definitely fresh with crispy skin on the other side with sauce giving a good texture and taste balance, the duck was done just nice with honey sauce that together gave that succulent and juicy feel, the bread was freshly bake with certain good yeast, crispy on the outside, moist inside. Onsen was great and it was this I went to Hakone. I do hope they continue to prosper with visitors to appreciate their services and food.
