Though I am not a local, I've literally been coming here for 20+ years when I'm home in Dumaguete. This place I also associate with home because my grandma's house was literally two doors down and we would come here to eat. This place will always share a special piece of my heart as my dad would frequent this place and eat here everyday when he was staying next door. For years my dad would bring his guests here and they would not disappoint. If you want good food, and even better company - rest assured you'll find it here. Shout to the staff and management who cared for my dad, Dodong Manny Garcia, as their own and fed him well. The Garcia family loves this place! Ambiance: you can bring a date, your family, or party with your friends on their live music nights. This place is poppin' and clean. I feel safe here - their bathrooms are clean and their service is excellent. the beautiful thing about this place is that it can even host big parties. We've even had tables of 16+ people accommodations for us. Seating: You have plenty of choices. Downstairs by the stage. Upstairs with a great view of the beach.Bar seating. And even indoor seating in Lab-as. Take your pick! Food: Tapsilog always a fave. They have extremely fresh fish and sell it by the pound. It is soooo tasty I cannot. I love their LapuLapu and an all-around fave is the Bangus lumpia. Fresh mango shakes and calamansi are a must. Alcohol: Take your pick. They have top shelf and local beer. They make extravagant drinks with flames and everything! Drinks here are IG worthy alongside the food. You will go home well fed and nourished. Parking: Be smart about it - there's a lot in the front that people are willing to help park (you're expected to tip) and even better it's not so clustered like it is in South point... this place literally giives you everything you need! Do yourself a favor and stay awhile...enjoy this place and Hayahay through the night because you will be more than impressed by this place. It is a must go to in Dumaguete!

Nothing tasted more like home than eating authentic Filipino cuisine in the city where I was born and raised as a kid. What made it even better was getting to enjoy this moment with my mom, aunt, and especially my grandma. Sometimes, it's not just about the food, it's about the people you share these experiences with. My dinner here will always be memorable because spending precious time with family especially after so many years apart is truly priceless.

I've been to the original place in Cebu but had never been to this location. It's a great place for…read moregroups and for celebrations. They have a lot of space and long tables. We ordered a few pitchers of different juices to try and got a number of entrees: crispy pata, different rice dishes, pinakbet, sweet and sour fish, baked scallops, lechón kawali, calamares, pancit, shrimp, chicken BBQ, tuna, and chopsuey. My favorites were the scallops, pinakbet, and calamari. Great spread of food. It all tasted fresh. It's a bit more of an elevated experience. The food wasn't exactly your typical home cooked version, but it was still very good. We had plenty of leftovers even for a party of 11. We had mostly one server. We got all our dishes but we did have to tag him a few times for hot water. No biggie. It seems stressful to work here. Parking was pretty easy. We found a spot next to it. Great location as it's right across the street from the ocean!

This shop was very successful netting us; we were starving having been up since 3:30am and post-snorkeling, sooo...! Nothing beats a good start to a morning like a silog dish. Toci-silog for ~P100 is the way to go! Surprisingly, there was a lot of meat; only so much fat. Sweet as it should be. Eggs were cooked perfectly and the garlic rice was tasty, fragrant. We were served "coffee" for like P50, but it was the "specialty" Nescafe instant coffee popular in the Philippines. It hit the spot, however, and even though the restaurant was open-aired, it may have been hot, but it was welcomed!

Thank goodness for that because it was my friend's birthday and I couldn't find a cake anywhere else. Usually, they have a few options for premade cakes (as well as cookies, pastries, etc) but I went to late in the day so had to settle for the two last slices that were left of a bigger cake. It was father's day weekend so they had been very busy. Fortunately, they sliced the two pieces into three pieces for us and wrote a nice message for my friend. They even gave us a candle! The cake was tasty and we were all happy. Wish we'd have had time to eat there but we were across the street at Monkey Business and left the island the next day. The locals say the food is very good, as well. Might see ya there!

Easy to find along the main road plus they had a very bright sign. The staff were very friendly and greeted me with a smile. I loved the setting right next to the beach. I timed my dinner to coincide with sunset. I loved seeing all the local dogs enjoying the beach as well. Made me miss my dogs at home even more. I ordered the mixed seafood. It was served on a sizzling platter. It had lots of seafood - fish and shrimp and the coconut sauce was very tasty. I also ordered the Pinakbet vegetables. Also very well done and a huge serving. They were out of eggplant but that didn't matter. The other fresh vegetables made up for it. They let me know before I ordered. The sunset here was spectacular. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone wanting to get out of their resorts and try a local restaurant.

Service was ok and the halo halos came quickly. You had a chiice of what ice creams you wanted, so I chose durian and mango, and the bf asked for ube and dragonfruit.

We got up and left quickly after we finished, as one group of people was starting to get rowdy.

One of the hostess was corrected by her supervisor when she showed us where to go instead of assisting us... very impress with staff training. 4+ star! We came here on our first night staying at Henann Resort. The service was excellent! Have been to other buffet in the US (Bellagio, Cesar Palace in LV, Kai Market in Waikiki, Oahu, etc.), I am more than happy with the food selection and quality! The BBQ station is excellent. There are variety of types of meat (ribs, sirloin, octopus, etc.) The noodle station has great section of udon, pho, ramen, etc. The desert selection is to die for...!
