Ordered 3 separate dishes and did not eat one of them. Chicken burger meat was past date. Same for the ribs. Looked great on plate but tasted terrible. Veg was also all old. Pizza burger was just a sloppy mess and the bread was srill doughy in the center. Shame as a lovely idea of a place let down on absolutely terrible food. Maybe just that day but after having to spend the following 24hrs withing meters of a toilet i do not want to find out. Staff when came with bill did not even comment we had hardly eaten and even when pointed out pretty much just shrugged their shoulders. I truly am shocked by people saying the food is good. Maybe easy to please in Iloilo but in UK I would be out of business in a week serving the quality of what I got and the fact the staff just did not care 1 bit they do not deserve to have a job. I would never employ staff that did not care about my business

Love their food. They make a great Matcha frappe. Their squid is a must try, and their back ribs are good. The animals are amazing, all beautiful. Especially the cats and ferrets. I do hope they take proper care of all the animals. The kids enjoyed this place. Maybe it could use a few birds?

Finally ate here for dinner with my girlfriend, been wanting to go for a long time. Did not disappoint. Food was Amazing!! I highly recommend the dark chocolate mint frappe!!! Awesome experience!! Staff were Amazing!! Just scary to go into the room with all the snakes!! Hahaha

Unique place. A must-go-to place if you want a change in restaurant experience. The aquariums are nice and well-maintained.

One of a kind restaurant with a good food alongside with scenic underwater view.

1st this was my girlfriends birthday dinner which makes this awful review all thr wrose. Ordered 3 meals and didn't eat more than 3 bites from any. Meat was not fresh and had weird taste on both chicken burger and ribs. Girlfriend still had awful aftertaste from ribs the next day after only 3 bites. Veg was also old and not fresh. I spent most of day being sick and on toilet. Shame as lovely place let down but food that I would never serve at home let alone in a paying restaurant. Staff didn't seem to even notice 3 almost complete meals on the table when i asked for bill or ask if was a problem. I had to tell them and even then they looked like didn't really care. Left about as unimpressed as could possibly be and will obviously never return.

Went here for a lunch date with a group of friends last Valentine's Day. Lots of people *maybe due to the occasion* but a friend mentioned that there is usually a queue outside. Food - okay. I like it. But nothing special. I had the Hungarian sausage. It was spicy but manageable. They said the fried chicken was great. Two people had it and agreed. The steak were.. okay *according to those who ordered it* Ambiance - there are huge aquariums. Catfish and other fishes *that I don't know the names* There's an aquarium for clownfish *or Nemo* and anemones *pretty* Service - the staff were approachable and accommodating. We asked for extra chairs and plates and water. Nothing bad with the service. Location - not along the road. I can't remember if there's a sign outside to tell that you should turn right or left to find the restaurant. But the landmark to remember is the Jaro market. Would comeback. But the food isn't something I would really crave to have again.

Excellent staff, food was exsquisite...and most of all the Animals were wonderful, amazing concept. I'll come back for sure.

Aquarium Cafe & Lounge was one of the restaurants I was very excited to experience, because of the aquariums of fishes and other sea creatures and also reptiles! I and my friends agreed to have a dinner there. I would suggest that you call for a reservation, as they are always full even on weekdays on a specified meal time of the day like lunch and dinner, but sometimes the time in between meals that we considered snack time might be the best time to go there, as there are less people. Just a reminder: always come on time if you have a reservation. I thought that the only thing that lures people to the resto is their main attraction, but not until you experience their food. It was so good! I would definitely go back not only because of their main attraction, but also because of their food. You can start with baby back ribs if it’s your first time and you don’t know what to pick on the menu. I haven’t tried their milk tea yet, as it was sold out I believed. It might mean that it’s good too, but next time we will find out. Oh, and they also have a nice staff! And it completes your whole experience with the resto.

Great food with big portions! But what sets this place apart is the ambiance! The Exotic Reptiles and the Fishes are a sight to see. Such good ambiance. And the food is relatively affordable, considering that the place looks upscale. Highly recommended if you're looking for something new to eat here in Iloilo City

Just across jaro big market. The place gives a mini oceanpark vibes with a variety of fish and reptiles. The price for the food is very reasonable. We tried sizzling squid with shirmps but sadly it was over cooked and the bottom of the squid was really charred. We also tried tinolang tanguige which was good

The food and the place is great. I am just a little sad about the animals but i hope they're well feed and taken care of. We visited around 5pm for early dinner, it's not too busy but the service is a bit slow. But it's understandable because it's a bit understaff?

A very unique and great way to dine in with wildlife around you. I enjoyed the time here. Food was great and friendly on pocket too. Will return soon.

As people who work with animals every day, it was hard to ignore the mistreatment of the animals here. Giant pythons were in tiny display cases while bluntly clipped birds fought each other in smaller cages. Dead fish were stuck to the filter and walls. Fish ate each other inside the same tank which makes us think they're underfed or inappropriately housed because this isn't the wild—humans designed and maintain this tank. The cats and iguanas seemed fine, but that doesn't justify other small cages for possibly illegal imports including what looked like a wolverine (see pacing creature). This is on the owners who approve plans and make policies, not just the staff, so reporting animal cruelty. If you like carbonara without the abuse, go somewhere else.

Food was good especially the carbonara. The iced coffee seems a little bit watered down. The wild animals and their enclosures are well-maintained and does not smell. Very good for kids and adults alike.

I went here to celebrate my birthday. I think we waited around 20-30 minutes before someone attend to us but that was Valentines day so I understand. There are many options we wanted to try but not available, that time I think I changed 2 or 3 items. the ambiance was the highlight of this place even if you wait long, you won't even notice which is a plus for this restaurant. From the reptiles to those cute cats and even when you're sitted anywhere you look will be filled with joy seeing these animals. *Garden Salad has Zing to it and every bite has crunch. *Mushroom Soup is a must! so good. *Mango Shake is a bit tangy to my taste but still nice. *chicken in a basket is okay nothing special for me *carbonara is creamy as it should be. The food is good for family serving therefore good for your buck! :)

Beautful place. Romantic and quality food.. Perfect place to take your date. I would recommend the seafood chowder

So great find... Worth visiting... Easy to find, just in front of the Jaro Big Market... Great ambiance... Feels like a 5 star ⭐ restau... Great service, polite staffs... Worth the wait for the food, super duper delicious... While waiting, just roam around the place and you'll be satisfied with the fishes and amphibians everywhere, when you return 100% sure your food is done and to be served...

😍❣️👌

Cool...

The place is so cozy, the music is just right the venue is so nice perfect kids and the whole family, the food is so tasty and prices are just right.

Atmosphere is WOW! Animals looks well taken care of. Place is clean which is a plus. I imagined it to smell bad that is why I am skeptical at first to go there but It wasn't. Claps to whoever is maintaining the place. It doesn't smell like animals at all. I love the food that I ordered. Mushroom soup is a must try. They have different food options in the menu, some I didn't like but mostly tasted good. But this is in my opinion only. Service is kinda slow but I went there when the place is packed. So I understand. Will surely go here again.

Its an interesting place to dine in. It's a zoo and a resto. Food we ordered were all great except for the burger its a bit dry.

Love the ambiance, relaxing, calming dinner night with friends. Food portions and quality were great. Service was fast! Will definitely come back. Parking available too for both cars and motorcycles

The place is extraordinary. Last time I visited, a part of the place was under renovation solely prepared for their reptile "room". Now, the customers could enjoy their food while feeling like they're one with nature.

Upon entry, the place feels cool, maybe because of the aquariums and fishes. It's a free trip to mini zoo while enjoying their delicious food. Great place for kids. At the other side, you can really sing.. there a jungle out there!! Super love the place!

The food is mediocre but the ambiance, the place and the services are all great. The place is especially beautiful and perfect dates or outing with kids or friends, though it may feel a bit cramped and crowded especially during peak lunch hours. The food isn't anything special though, i figured I'd visit this cafe for the beautiful fishes, snakes and reptiles.

It's like a resto with a zoo.. Like the name says, it has a lot of aquariums inside. You'll see huge salt water aquariums when you enter. At the back they have a room with reptiles and more fishes. Recommended for fish lovers. 🐟

Place is great. Very classy, with aquariums as a main attraction. Food is great and prices are affordable. The satffs are very accommodating.

Its a mini zoo experience. The food are perfectly mouth watering.

It's been nice to come and probably came back again. Food are very Good and satisfying.

Food's are all worth the price! Plus wild creatures to watch while waiting your meal.

A true novelty! An exciting expeirence. Its like being under the sea with Nemo! Good food and choices! Wish that they could open longer hours like up to 11pm at least.

Nice place. Your family especially your kids will surely love it because they will see different kinds of reptiles like snakes, alligator, crocs, and turtles. Also there's different kinds of fish and different breeds of cats and different species of spiders.

Im so much in love with the food. The aquarium is full of beautiful and different kinds of fishes. Just love the place. 🥰

It was nice place to dine..so relaxing..and stress free,😍😍

Perfect ambience, with very tasty foods, looking forward for my next visit

👍👍👍👍

Nice place to unwind. Also for kids to enjoy the view & the awesome food. Be back for sure!

I ordered backribs together with my sister and the rice was undercooked worst experience ever.

Swell

Nice ambiance. Foods are good.

The ambiance is so relaxing.

Nice place to dine - in. Many choices of food. plus exotic reptiles n large fish in aquarium beside you while you eat.

The place was okay. In my opinion/experience, the place became a little bit crowded and suffocating because of the table barriers and the given that there is social distancing implemented in the city, the place was crowded. The food was okay too. The waiters/waitresses was polite and very helpful. As for the serving time, well (typical restaurant) it was more or less 20-45 minutes time. And oh the animals displayed was nice to see. 😊

Place and food is great. Kids will love this place. Not enough parking space but they are managing it well.

It's going to be a little bit hard to locate the restaurant if you haven't been here yet, but once you try their food and see the ambiance, i doubt if you'll let a week pass without visiting this place. It's a restaurant surrounded with Aquarium. Plus the whole ambiance, the music, it's a 5/5 for me. The food and price, definitely 5/5. It's crazy how they give off this elitist, fine dining energy based on the pictures but their prices are definitely still affordable. Lastly, the service and staff 5/5. Very accommodating, and responsive. COVID protocols are also followed.

It is really a pleasant place. The vibes while you are inside of this place is relaxing. The foods are great. Its like a 2-in-1 place wherein you can enyoy seeing fishes and animals while enjoying delicious foods. My family really loves the place.

Very nice Place and good coffee...i will be visit this place again...

Love the foods and ambience of place. I recommend seafood soup and squid menu. Amazing! ❤️🤩

Went there with my parents. They have sanitation before entry and temperature check. The food is also pretty good and the view is nice. Make sure for proper social distance tho. This was taken a month ago. Also, the carbonara was good! I didn't get to take a photo of my mom or dad's orders haha. Kids will definitely enjoy this place!!

Want to try something new? This place is one a kind. Wonderful ambiance and a sumptuous food. Go see for you to experience. Dine and enjoy watching the beautiful creatures of the ocean. A place to recommend. #PanayEskapo

The parking area is a bit small but overall the place is very nice.

While the staff is preparing your mouth watering order, enjoy the view with their diverse species of sea creatures. Commonly, their menu includes, pasta (pesto, tomato sauce, bolognese), fries, smoothie, shakes. Combo meals is also available, price starts from Php 130+. They start their operation at 11am. Just in time when you want to take your brunch. The serving could cater two (2) persons.

Great food! Good vibes! Great service!

Nice place, good foods and ambiance where you can observe a variety of fishes in aquariums, "a hit for the kids." Yet, there were no alcoholic beverages when I dined there.

Great food and a really unique ambiance
