We actually went here twice in 2 days. So it's quite remarkable that they managed to make mistakes on the bills both times and they are one of only two restaurants in Dumaguete that I'm aware of that have a Service Charge (5%).You may think (depending where you come from) that 5% SC is reasonable. But the SC we paid for one meal would almost pay one waiters salary and does it actually go to the staff?On the first occasion we had ordered kinilaw (raw spicy fish with salad), it was only after we had left the restaurant that we realised we'd paid for it but never had it. partly our fault I guess. The second occasion, I scrutinised the bill and found Pinakbet there, which we had neither ordered nor eaten. After telling the waiter, we had to wait ages for the corrected bill. We have eaten there many times and it is not the first time there have been "mistakes" in the bill, always in the restaurants favour I have to say.As for the food, mostly it is fine and we do like the Bouillabaisse seafood soup with tomato and coconut base, as well as the Lumpiang Isda and steamed oysters.But prices (for Dumaguete) are not cheap and of course there is that SC.Hi KendalVisayas thank you for leaving a feedback and thank you for bringing this to our attention. We sincerely apologized for your this experience, we are always aiming for good service and good food. We would love to see you in the future and serve you.

A big restaurant close to the sea, Lantaw is a great discovery. We ordered baked scallops topped with lots of garlic. They were so juicy and tender. The calamari was okay. But the crab cooked in butter and garlic was phenomenal: I could have finished the sauce by serving it over rice but that wouldnât be so healthy (lol). Great seafood place, for sure.

We went at past ten to make reservations for a group of 15 and to pre-order. Also, instructed to make the food available at 12 noon. Orders came in trickles. Forgot the grilled liempo and replaced it with lechon kawali which came at the end of the meal and so was the ginataang alimasag. The one who took the orders completely forgot. So, service is mediocre. It was embarrassing to our guests who were our hosts in your city. Food wasn't that great except for the bouillabaisse in coconut cream. There was a piano player, so it adds to the ambiance. But, will I go back next time I have the chance to visit Dumaguete...no!Hi Slueventsgoddess, we want to sincerely apologized for your experience at Lab-as Restaurant.

We walked out of Soban after getting enough of "out of stock." We went to Fish 153 to buy some Korean products from its store. On entering, we found out it was a restaurant as well. Several Korean couples and groups here eating decided us to give it a try despite its modest decor. We were glad we did. My beef bulgogi was first rate and my wife lived their "best sell" spicy dish. Give it a try. Half a block from Siliman. Kimchi is sold for takeout by the kilo. Just fine.
