Pandang Laut — Restaurant in Balikpapan

staff's attitude was great, the view was fine, the menu looks good, so i put my expectation high. then i had their recommendation, shrimp curry pasta for dinner, but nothing special, only light curry but that's it. actually the taste itself helped by my idea to add tahu lada garam as a side, so maybe it will help you too (both customer or the resto). the thing is, i put my order at 8.05 pm AND my food came up at 9.10, yes, i had to wait for an hour 10 min until my food arrived:))) at that time, the customer wasn't that real crowd, it's a normal condition. i guess they're messed up with their system so my food actually got skipped or something. i saw bunch of people (staffs) only gathered not doing much for a few minutes, so i guess they had too many waiter/ess duty of the night but not for the chefs? because the person (cust) who came later after me got their food while i'm not getting any of it as i should be first. i had to ask their staffs when will my food be delivered to table for several times. for me it's disappointing, hope you guys fix it and i'm being the last customer that you messed up like that. Eventho that one staff is great (i couldn't remember the name, but surely with a cool androgini style) he/she apologized for what i've been through for the night:( which that's a one good thing, to apologized and explained.

Some place for waste time together with fam or friends, for the best view is in the evening because not too hot but the sea view is still there.

The food taste is average as a resto i think (were visit i chose spaghetti goreng, sop iga and banana nuget) many kind of heavy food like rice bowl, pasta, steak beef or chicken, ramen, fries and sweet snack like banana nuget, roasted toast. The beverage is have biger size than usual like tea lechea and some hot coffees also blend coffees.

The price is more cheap than average another resto, but you get what you buy with that price so if you feel the portion is not worth you can add an additional topping.

The place and view : 5 star The food n beverage : 4 star The...
