OPEN HOUSE Balikpapan — Restaurant in Balikpapan

A nice place to visit in Balikpapan, They have different ambience than other cafe or resto. Unique yet little bit creepy in the night😅. Talk about the place 8,8/10 Food 6/10 Service 4/10

First time came here, was so curious. No one there except the parking guy. We arrived around 8 pm or so. Its quite, the theme of the restaurant i feel almost like lafavela in Bali. I like it. With the museum, antique car etc. And they have so many tables available. Since we have so many options of view.. we decided to sit in the downstairs. With a bit city view but we have poolside to enjoy with. Because I was so hungry. I just thinking about ordering food.. Even we knos this place is not steak house, We both ordering steak medium well and well done. With bpp and mushrooms sauce. Ahh we forgot that crispy steak comes with the flour.. so we accepted our mistake; since in the menu the picture sows the normal steak. Ok nevermind. While waiting my food to arrive, I look around.. amazing view even at night. Oh yeah the small waiters guy coming bringing our steak. Disappointing us with the mixing menu, he forgot what’s he bring to us.. and he smells it till the sauce almost into his nose.. pardon me. Its makes me little bit angry even after he smelled it he guess it wrong.. he said that was mushrooms sauce.. but when I tried it. It definitely Blackpepper.. ouhhh to save my energy i wait it politely. Second food arrived it was served by different waitress.. i ask her what kind of sauce she bring us in the second plates? She said mushrooms with hesitation.. i said ok nevermind.. we ate and the food was not my taste sauce too salty. But ok, because i am hungry. While i am eating i saw some insect, it was cockroach or so.. i took a video. Humm.. when we pay it was all durian smell with the cashier playing with her teeth maybe food scraps stuck in her teeth. I hope that the resto can improve the service...

This place is a really good place, because the atmosphere is just so great and relaxing. This beautiful and cozy place is on the hill so the view is really stunning and the air is fresh and cool. It's a nice place to go with family and also friends, the foods and drinks are a bit more expensive than the other places that I usually go but it's all taste really good though. The surrounding really expresses the culture of Indonesia, there's so many beautiful shells and batik in one of the small buildings there. There are swimming pools there so we can enjoy the view while we're swimming, there's also a fish pond there. I've already been there twice and I was having a really good time there with my family. There, I enjoyed the view while I'm drinking a really fresh drink with my cousins and when it's dawn and getting darker, my cousins and I took a walk and enjoy the great...

Lokasi strategis di tengah kota Balikpapan daerah markoni atas, namun sign untuk menuju lokasi sangat minim untuk jalur yang berkelok kelok masuk, namun anda bisa mengikuti arahan g maps untuk tiba ke lokasi. Saat tiba (bada maghrib) tidak ada pengarahan parkir karena tidak ada sign parkir dan petugas parkir. Lokasi estetik dg arsitektur, penataan interior serta barang2 vintage yg lumayan bagus untuk photo2, walaupun nampak kurang terawat dan terjaga kebersihan lokasinya (saat tiba di lokasi habis hujan, daun2 berserakan di meja, kursi basah tidak/belum dibersihkan padahal sudah reserve tempat yg mestinya sudah well prepare). Saat pelayanan untuk pesanan hanya diampu oleh satu waiters, nampak kebingungan dan tidak tanggap dengan pesanan kami yg berduabelas dan berbeda2 selera. Banyak menu yg kosong. Waiters kurang produck knowledge yg menjadi signature tempat ini, sehingga tidak banyak bisa menjawab pertanyaan2 dari pelanggan. Penyiapan makanan butuh waktu cukup lama dari saat pemesanan. Dari keseluruhan pesanan kami untuk rasa B minus, dari yg kami pesan tidak ada yg istimewa dari sisi rasa. Tahu cabe garamnya terlalu asin dan sedikit porsinya, pisang gorengnya lumayan. Mie goreng dan kwie tiaw goreng sea foodnya standard saja, terlalu berminyak dan berkecap. Disebut seafood karena ada kondimen udang 3 ekor tanpa cumi. Nasi goreng kambing disajikan dengan tiga potong kecil daging kambing, tidak mencerminkan rasa dan nuansa nasi goreng kambing yg sebenarnya. Nasi tempong juga simpel dengan kondimen standard yg tidak mencerminkan harga. Spagheti bolonaise muncul terakhir disaat semua pesanan lain sudah selesai disantap, flow penyajiannya tidak terstruktur. Sapo tahunnya pun standard.

Harga termasuk mahal dibandingkan dengan rasa dan standard pelayanan yg diberikan.

Walaupun tempat ini bersebelahan dg Coffee House, tapi tidak ada kerjasama dalam penyajian ke pelanggan. Saat di konfirmasi bila bisa pesan terkesan malas untuk menjelaskan. Saat pesan ke Coffee House pun mereka seakan enggan mengantarkan ke lokasi makan kami di open house. Pun dengan jawaban yg seolah tidak butuh pelanggan.

Kelebihan tempat ini hanya ada di pemandangan malam sebagian sisi kota...
