Diners come for the reliable Filipino comfort food and the beachfront setting, and most leave talking about the grilled squid, crispy pata, bulalo, and that rich beef kaldereta. Portions are generous—enough for sharing—and the rice choices like garlic, crab, and adobo rice round things out nicely. The vibe is lively and often packed, which gives it that “Boracay buzz” but also means it can get loud. Families and big groups find it easy to order a spread, sit back in the AC or by the sea, and enjoy a hearty meal.

Service gets a lot of love. Folks mention staff who are warm and on-the-ball—Rizza helping with wait times and portion sizes, Toz mixing a special calamansi-chili dip for the grilled squid, and Jalan handling a 10-person table smoothly after the lunch rush. Little gestures like complimentary chips and birthday songs add to the experience. While many say prices are fair for the quality, a few mention they feel slightly high; most agree the food and serving sizes make up for it.

Customers do point out trade-offs. During peak hours, expect queues and the occasional slow turn on orders. A few dishes get mixed feedback: sisig can be dry for some, fried chicken breast a bit over, and the sizzling kangkong not always sizzling and leaning sweet. Seafood availability can vary—some missed their calamari or bangus. Even with these notes, people keep returning for the classics, the view, and that friendly service that ties it all together.
