Restaurant blurbs on a website
I'm translating a website with a bunch of restaurant blurbs. The phrase "omotenashi" keeps coming up (always hiragana, no kanji) and the babelfish translation, "There is no chart" just doesn't mean much to me in the context it's always in. Anyone know this phrase?

warm hospitality
Look up 「もてなし」or 「持て成し」in your dictionary. You'll probably find a lot of examples there in regard to: treatment; reception; service; welcome; hospitality; entertainment, etc.

treating guests
"おもてなし" literally means hospitality. If this is a menu, then it might be refering to "おもてなし料理", which refers to dishes prepared for guests for such occasions as parties (to make guests feel welcome).
In this case , "party food" or "food for guests" might work.
Hope this helps.
