Best prawns that i've ever eaten in my life. This restaurant was a delight to experience with it being a beautifully designed restaurent nestled in the mangroves near the sea. The staff were kind and attentive. The food was fresh and delicious. Definitely part of the top 2 restaurants in Puerto Princesa and is a must visit! Highly recommend to all that they book a table in advance as they get full during peak seasons especially. I hope to return!

Pork Sinigang is 10 out of 10- my moms sinigang is the best but theirs is superb also. Buttered shrimp is 8 out of 10 - not buttery lol Good place and if you are a group i suggest to book a reservation. Good service also.

If you’re in Puerto Princesa, this restaurant is definitely worth the visit—even if it’s a bit out of the way. The food is exceptional, with generous portions and a breathtaking view to match. Their seafood selections are both fresh and affordable, and the staff are incredibly accommodating and attentive. Highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy great food and a relaxing dining experience.

This place is surreal. Such a beautiful and calm environment. The restaurant is over the sea which was mind blowing. We enjoyed our lunch. The food was very delicious. The staff was so friendly and the food was served within 10 minutes. The price was a little high but when I saw the location and tasted the food the price was so worth it.

Beautiful location with exceptionally tasty food, great service the strongest cocktails of your entire life! Beautiful place to watch the sunset in the mangroves, try and book in first because I got turned away and had to come back! It’s busy for a reason, the quality of this delicious food is fresh and vibrant!

This place was recommended by the locals, if you love seafood, please try it! They are also cheaper I believe compared to the restaurant at the Baywalk. Great dinner we had.

The areas is always packed and I have no doubt why it is like this. Because food is great, staff are professional and the ambiance is nice. The lobster is so yum!!! The tinola and fresh juice are my fav.

Great setting and delicious food. The eggplant with coconut milk have a nice smoky flavor- highly recommended. The curried tofu, green mango salad are also very nice. The people we were with raved about the [sizzling] pork Sisig, too and the chicken. To get to the restaurant you walk over a bridge with great views of the restored, healthy looking mangroves. Nice views of the bay as you dine.
