Three side tables are next to a driveway which in turn is next to the sea: the other tables are closer to the road with most being in the same cogon (thatched) roof building.\The owners built their house facing the sea. In Australia we wouldn't have a residence and restaurant together like this but priority could have been given to 'absolute seafront' placement of the restaurant.The 40 year old lady running the restaurant spoke excellent English. There were at least 23 diners on a Tuesday night including a group of Australians from a gold mining company.My lapu-lapu (grouper) took almost an hou to prepare but was served in sweet and sour as I requested and was delicious - this small one cost P320. San Miguel Light made a good accompaniment. They do not appear to serve wines while Pepsi was also unavailable.There was only one dessert listed: Graham (crackers.) Often the case in Philippines that desserts are lacking.Overall however a pleasant venue.
