A REVIEW taken from TRIPADISOR.COM
There is more great Oasis and SeaQuest review's there! but this one we
really wanted to share.
We came across this restaurant due to a sudden rain shower. We had
previously stopped at a small beach bar for a pre-dinner drink, but had
never eaten there. On this night, we decided to try the food. Soon after it
was ordered it started to rain. The staff told us we could eat under cover
upstairs and proceeded to lead us along an alley beside the bar for about
50 metres before arriving at a flight of about 20 steps. We had not
realised that the beach cafe was connected with a resort. Arriving at the
top of the stairs we were faced with a beautiful restaurant set facing the
nipa hut accommodation. The restaurant was all bamboo and wood, the
lighting was subdued and the atmosphere good. It was covered overhead by a
nipa hut-type roof, but open to the sides.
I expected the food to be the usual fine but unexciting food we had had in
various restaurants already in Alona Beach. I was surprised to find the
rustic spaghetti dish was actually very tasty, very Italian and the pasta
was superbly cooked. They have a real chef there! Everybody else was very
happy with their food.
We went there the following night, on one of the children's birthdays. We
asked the waitress if they had any kind of cake we could put a candle in.
She suggested we selected 4 of one type of the puddings and they'd be able
to do something. After the main course, the birthday cake arrived. They had
put the 4 cake-like puddings together and decorated it and put a candle on
it. They arrived singing 'Happy Birthday'.
Great staff, food and location and the price was barely more expensive
than any other place. |
