The restaurant seemed to have its own park where kids can play. It's pretty dark at night though and I think requires more lighting as it can be a safety hazard. They have a big sign at the entrance of the driveway but it wasn't lit up so it was hard to find at nighttime. My biggest turn off would have to be the band...not that they're terrible but rather that they were too loud and their sound system was awful. I'm glad we were seated inside and weren't subjected to ear piercing sounds but I think it really made the experience less enjoyable.

Instead it was a very well polished establishment. There was only a large family and myself at the restaurant so the service was very fast. Even when the waiter initially said the food would take 20 minutes, I received my order in 5-10 minutes. The Kare Kare was amazing I must add! The prices were very fair too. The Kare Kare with a side of rice was about $7 USD. They even accept credit card! The only downfall was no WiFi but you will survive.

The food is cooked fresh. You actually pick your seafood before it is cooked, especially the squid and the crab. Nothing feels rushed, and it shows once the plates hit the table. The fried squid was worth waiting for. Crispy on the outside, tender inside, and not greasy. You can tell it was fresh and cooked to order. The crab was the same story: sweet meat, well-seasoned, and not drowned in sauce. We also ordered pancit bihon, scallops with garlic, pork BBQ skewers, and a small cup of rice. The pancit bihon was flavorful and not dry. The scallops were soft and garlicky without being overpowering. The pork BBQ skewers had that classic smoky sweetness and were nicely charred. Service is straightforward and the vibe is casual. This is not fast food. If you come hungry and in a rush, you will get frustrated. If you come expecting fresh, cooked-on-the-spot Filipino food, you will leave happy. This is the kind of place you go to slow down, eat well, and enjoy food that is made properly. Enjoy time with family and talk; it's nice to enjoy your time while waiting for the food.

The Loboc Riverwatch Floating Restuarant is a popular tourist activity in Bohol, Philippines. It is…read moreessentially a boat that offers a buffet while cruising along the Loboc River for about 45 minutes to one hour. During the cruise, there is entertainment such live music and dance performances. When I went, the buffet offered a variety of Filipino dishes, including pancit, vegetable Kare Kare and Filipino bbq. There were also several Filipino desserts and complimentary juice, while other drinks such as soda could purchased for an additional fee. While I appreciated the variety of food, I found the flavors to be fairly mild. More than the food, it was the atmosphere and experience that made this cruise memorable. I really enjoyed the scenic river ride and seeing all the lush greenery and tropical vegetation. I also liked the live entertainment. The local music and traditional dance performances were impressive and fun to watch. Some of us tourists even joined in the fun Filipino Tinikling dance. Overall, the Loboc Riverwatch Floating Restaurant was definitely an hour well spent. The relaxing river ride, the scenic views and live music and dance performances combined created a memorable and enjoyable experience.

If you live in America, then you may have tried Lechon if you attended a party hosted by Filipino friends. Believe me, though, Lechon tastes so much better in the Philippines. Specifically, I think Cebu makes the BEST tasting Lechon in the world!! For those of you who do not know, Lechon is a whole roasted pig!! A true Filipino Delicacy!! We stopped in at the House of Lechon in Talisay, Cebu to try their version of Lechon. They make a regular Lechon and a spicy Lechon. Both taste fantastic!! Love the mixture of spices they use to make such flavorful lechon!! My favorite was the Spicy Lechon!! It was the best I tasted during our 3 week trip in the Philippines. I tried about a dozen of them!! Hey, there were a lot of parties that we attended and each one served lechon. Anyways, the House of Lechon in Talisay, Cebu is a wonderful place to try this popular Filipino delicacy! Their restaurant looks great inside. Beautifully decorated and the staff was awesome!! 5 stars for the House of Lechon!! They know what they are doing here!!

It was a few minutes away from the whale shark watching where we were prior so we definitely came in hungry lol The restaurant was by the road so it was easy to spot. They also have parking space so that was convenient. Be aware that the restaurant is an open one so there is no air-conditioning but they did provide us with a fan which really helped from that hot July weather. Some of the items on the menu were not available at that time like their pizzas but otherwise the rest of the filipino food were. The scallops were good but I guess it came a bit to buttery/margarine-y (lol) for me. Good nonetheless. The pork belly was tasty as usual but my favorite was the crispy pata which the staff mentioned was also one of their best sellers. Perfectly seasoned and cooked! Crispy and meaty at the same time. Writing about it is actually making me hungry. There was one on the menu which was a tad too salty but i forgot which one it was. Anyway overall we had a good and filling meal which was what we were looking for. Clean space, good food, very nice staff and had a wonderful view of Oslob's blue waters. Just be careful coz the "nest" is by the cliff, thus where they most likely got the restaurant name of "Cantilado" from.

Upon entry, you will be greeted by the bouncer who also serves as the ticket seller. Door fee is php80 with free drink (our that time was between rhum coke and vodka sprite, we chose the latter). Don't expect too much from the mix. Ours didn't taste like vodka sprite but for the price you pay, it's hard to fault the bar for offering sub-standard versions. Inside is a squarish-area with low ceiling. That made the place look smaller than it really is. The bar is to the left while the dj booth is on the right. There are several tall tables and quite a number of smaller ones. These are all for free as long as you get in early. I was told that they invite guest DJs every Saturday and the one playing that night was superb. Tunes are mostly Billboard Top 100 remixes. The crowd is a motley combination. There are locals (very easy to spot as they usually dress laid back), old, creepy foreigners, young foreigners, and college students. The older foreigners get in quite drunk so they're rowdier and creepier than normal. The club follows a strict dresscodes for men. No Sando / Sleeveless, no slippers. Shorts are okay though. Oh and you're only allowed to smoke outside. All in all, it was a pleasant experience. Definitely a step towards the right direction for Dumaguete. I just wish they can jack the price some more so unsavory locals can't get in and mess up the otherwise good crowd. I guess that's hard to do in Dumaguete where people are probably used to paying a smidge for almost everything.
