👍👍 Great food selection with "Very very" budget friendly prices. A good for sharing ulam ranges from 120-250 can be shared by 3 to 4 people. They also offer buffet for 198 pesos per head. You'll be surprised about the menu full of fresh seafoods and lechon for this price. People often mention scallops, good, buffet, seafood, time,

    Ate here for their saturday buffet and their scallops are the bomb! It taste so good it melts in your mouth. The other food offered though were average, the lechon doesn't even have that much flavor. The selection of the food that day were also very limited to scallops, lechon, menudo(?), kilawin, and the other shellfish (i don't know what it's called) Heard that some days, they also offer other seafood like calamares. Too bad it's not available that day.

    We ate here twice during our bantayan adventure. They have very affordable foods and it's good for sharing. We ate there during their buffet night. It was only 198.00 php. What I really like in this restaurant was their Kinilaw Tanigue, the flavor was perfect for my taste I even had my second bowl which I rarely do.

    Food is good. We got the creamy scallops, kilawin, shangai, pork bbq, and lechon kawali. Waiter is unfriendly, when we try to order he walks out immediately and does not wait if we are ordering something else. Hard to get his attention, he’s using mobile phone and seem to not be bothered. Only fish and scallops are available for seafoods. No recommendations on what we can get. Whenever we try to call the waiter’s attention, he’ll leave the moment one sentence comes out of out mouth.

    One of the best restaurants that you can try here. Cheap pricing. Scallops and Crabs are the best Downside.. i wish they can control stray dogs, flies and cats roaming around while eating

    Food was mediocre and took just over an hour to arrive. They weren’t busy at the time I. The restaurant but appeared to be prepping maybe a catering order in the kitchen before they started our order. Lots of food options in town with better pricing and quality dishes served in a timely manner.

    Had the sweet and sour fish. Generous portion. Too heavy on the garlic and especially the salt. Just doable concerning the salt. Price is ok though. Unfortunately like in many places in the Philippines they are playing the same 4 songs over and over again on high volume. Bring earplugs.

    Food is good but takes a long time to arrive after ordering and parts are just warm (examples : rice and calamari). Nevertheless, good place to eat Filipino food at a great price.

    The ambiance, food and staff are really great! 🫠😍 Ang bilis ng serving. Ang sarap ng foods. Kudos to the chef here! Affordable prices. I highly recommend this place. Its worth your time. One of the best service in the PH.

    Baked scallops and crab where excellent Shrimp in sweet and sour sauce was good. Pork was fine but not as outstanding as the seafood. Good service speed. Would gladly eat there again.

    The selection is small for a buffet but I thoroughly enjoyed each of their offerings. The lechon meat was tasty and not tough. We had at least 4 plates of scallops and I kept coming back to the kinilaw to balance out the flavors. I'd come back again especially if they add to their selections. Don't get too many of their calamari it's a bit too floury in my opinion.

    If you're looking for a clean place to eat seafood in Sta Fe, visit this place.

  • 3/5 Junard R. 5 years ago on Google
    One of the many food stalls in Sta. Fe area. This is the first time I visited the place. The last time I was in Bantayan was Sep 2017 and this place was still under construction. They offer meal options which is definitely a “savers” option for budget travelers like me. The place is well ventilated so dining is never a hassle. The place did not meet my expectations, the food is not so delicious, waited a while to get it served, the staff is not so accommodating. Will definitely check out the place next time to see for improvements or decline. 😉 Review update: 10/09/18 The place definitely improved during this visit. Their food is a lot bette now, staff is also accommodating. We visited the place for lunch.

    This is an all you can eat seafood Buffett and it’s very inexpensive. Because it’s inexpensive the only food that is included is baked scallops and fried calamari. The night I was there they also had sand crabs, but they were at an additional cost. They add side dishes; rice, lumpia, fish ceviche and fish soup. The taste is good but the food was mildly warm. Had it been hot it would have been delicious.

    We arrived there around 4 in the afternoon on a weekday but sadly not all seafoods on their menu are available. But the scallops and squid are the best.🤤 Big servings on your plate at an affordable price.
