Diotay's Eatery — Restaurant in Bacolod

Five stars for their chefs cooking skills. Fast and very tasty! Not to mention that we have grilled squid which is so tender and the inside tomatoes was crisp. Their fish soup was delectable. What I don’t like is that we have ordered scallops and as we were sitted the waiter told us that the scallops are sold out! How possible to sold out as we order it to the man on the front and saw as he holds the plate of scallops straight to their cook and there were more plated scallops left! How discriminating! Is it because he heard us that we don't have a cash on hand? Good thing, I was not on the mood to stoop down at their level cause I focused on my goal to taste the food not the mood. 😂😂 Also I asked their cashier for the mode of payment, they only accept cash as of the moment since their credit card terminal was not working and they don’t have Gcash or Maya. And as we were eating, a man's voice was too loud not to hear saying that "1-2-3- GO!! Oh, hulat hulata. 1-2-3!! And then we heard them laughing at the cashiers area. And we were like, the environment was so toxic but we have good food at our mouth. So why matter about the squammy barking dogs around? We stayed focused on our food until we finished it. Arranged the plates, just usual things we do after we eat. Then call the waiter for our bill. Left the change for tip. What a first time experience on this restaurant. Judgmental crew, or maybe they're the kids of...

Seafood dining at its finest without any pretentions! This is a must try place when you are in Bacolod.

To order, one must go in front of their restaurant where an array of fish, shrimps, clams, and squid are displayed on ice. A front-line kitchen staff will take your order based on the seafood that you are pointing at (however, they will only cook it based on how they know it and by how most customers would usually want it, but this is where you have to trust them because the end result is delicious!), and how many orders per seafood. You then go back to your table, and tell the additional orders (rice, drinks) to the waiters roaming around the restaurant.

The place is mostly packed with customers especially on peak hours, and has both an air-conditioned area/open area. They also have a tendency to forget your orders/requests when a continuous flow of people come in to eat. A little patience can go a long way as a customer when you encounter it at this restaurant.

Highly...

One of the best restaurants in Bacolod City, offering fresh seafoods for paluto. Just choose the seafoods you want and tell them how you want it to be cooked.

You have the option to choose between open air and airconditioned dining areas. Just add 10% of the total bill for the airconditioned one.

We had our lunch here awhile ago and had Buttered Shrimp and Sinabawang Isda. Too bad, they don't have scallops today. Orders arrived in short period of time. Serving was generous, which is good for sharing. I love the buttered shrimp. The shrimp was not overcooked and the flavor of the dish was just right. The sinabawang isda comes with unlimited refilling of the soup, which I really like.

Overall, it was a great dining experience. The staff were extremely lively, friendly and attentive. The usual Bacolodnon way of serving customers. Saludo! The place is wide. According to my mom, they expanded their area to cater more customers. Indeed, it is one of...
