They serve a lot of options! Seafood, vegan, steak, bakery, you name it. It is pretty similar with Gandy restaurant in Jakarta with extra seafood. Not a child friendly place. Again most seafood restaurant here does not cater for kids, except if you order fried fish and eat them with soya sauce. Period.
They cater for big groups. Offer vallet service since the parking space is so minimal. Service is fast. Compare to other seafood restaurant in Balikpapan. Price is reasonable, i guess thats why our secretary and boss love it there.

I have visited this restaurant twice. The second time has convinced me not to return.
The service in this restaurant is poor, having to chase up the waiters to fulfil the drinks ordered. Only two people the drinks order was not complicated. Next the food arrived only to be two dishes short and be told that the squid dishes were unavailable because they had run out of squid. This was at 7pm with a third full restaurant. I enquired why we were not informed after we made the order rather than waiting half an hour when dishes arrived to let us know. No answer.
To end the night we were overcharged with the bill being padded. The food was expensive! 60,000 rupiah per tiger prawn. Wow!
A very disappointing experience and I shall not be returning.

If the other city has a sculpture or monument as an icon, but for Balikpapan I think the icon is this restaurant. Almost all people who came to Balikpapan visit this restaurant.
The main menu is crab and they have many way to cook it on your choice. The taste was very delicious.
The location is between airport and city. So, it is a good place to dine after arrive in Balikpapan.

One of the famous place for locals who loves seafood. While visiting this place, seafood lovers should not miss this place. Not far from the airport. Their specialty is crabs, with meaty and juicy crabs. Not too expensive, cooked in various choices of sauce, spicy or non-spicy.
Comes with live performance as well. If you love to sing, you may also join them.

We spent 3 nights in the eco room, the hotel itself is absolutely stunning with amazing views of Balikpapan.
Only real issue was no hot water available in the shower and our room did smell a little moldy.
The restaurant has quite good food but was often out of certain dishes and is quite expensive comparatively.
Otherwise it was on of the most beautiful hotels I've ever been in, definitely recommended

The restaurant is in the main road near airport, facing the sea. Beautiful trees and interesting huts were placed strategically. Great area for photo shoot, read that they are charging 1 million for pre wedding photo shoots. Only ordered snacks so cant comment on the food.
