Description

Perched on Dapitan’s riverbank, this seafood-focused restaurant delights with stunning mangrove and village views, attentive service and lively acoustic nights. Signature dishes like grilled tanguigue, coconut-curry shrimp and lengua shine when executed well, and complimentary snacks add charm. However, experiences are uneven: menu items are sometimes unavailable, seafood quality and portion promises (an advertised “unlimited” buffet) have disappointed, and occasional loud electronic music can jar the tranquil setting. Ideal for scenic lunches or live-music evenings if you confirm menu availability first.

This riverside seafood restaurant provides a beautiful and tranquil atmosphere, but the experience is unfortunately overshadowed by the excessively loud dance and electronic music played by the staff, which detracts from the overall dining experience. The menu boasts a wonderful selection of fresh seafood, featuring juicy shrimp and expertly grilled tanguigue, with each dish delivering a burst of flavor. Without the overpowering music, the excellent service and stunning views would truly make this restaurant a must-visit.

The food was exceptional. We enjoyed the lengua mushrooms and the shrimp in coconut curry, both of which were absolutely delightful. The restaurant's riverside location was peaceful, offering beautiful views of mangroves, banyan trees, a quaint fishing village, and the occasional boatman navigating the gently flowing water. However, I was let down by the absence of fruit juices or yogurt shakes on the menu. How is that even possible in a tropical paradise like the Philippines, famous for its abundance of fruits? On a brighter note, the live music really enhanced the ambiance of our lunch.

False advertisement. They offered us an unlimitted lunch the night before our departure from a resor. Price offered was 275/person with unli seafoods but it ended up that the food is only buffet and is not unlimitted. Imagine spending almost 9k for rice, shrimp (probably 1 kilo), 1 big fish (probably 2 kilos), some fruits, turon and ONLY 1 glass of soda. Does not recommend!!
