From the views, food and drink selections, to service, cleanliness, and hotel accommodation, our first experience at Kabsat was nothing short of impeccable. We were treated with utmost attentiveness, care, and service. When we got out of the car, I was greeted by the valet driver and walked me into the lobby with an umbrella. They took our luggage and escorted us to our rooms. At dinnertime, when our server saw me wiping sweat off my forehead, he immediately brought an electric fan over to our table. The staff and servers were THAT attentive and observant. We stayed for 1 night and 2 days at two of the villas. We had breakfast, lunch, and dinner at the restaurant. We ordered a variety of food and drinks from every category on the menu. Every single one did not disappoint and was cooked to perfection. It was our first time trying sinanglaw. It was served in a clay pot. Our kids were hooked! Their bar selection and bottle service were top-notch. The restaurant still had many customers coming in to dine in and drink, even close to midnight. Our entire party enjoyed every meal and after-dinner snacks and drinks. The villas were very comfortable and modern. The bathrooms were large with rainfall showers. Toiletries were provided as well. One thing we take for granted in the US is toilet paper in every public place. In the Philippines, you get a handheld bidet attached to the toilet but no toilet paper. Our villas and public bathrooms had both. That's how you know they cater to both foreigners and locals alike. Come to Kabsat to experience excellent food, drinks, service, views, and atmosphere!

Went here past 10 am so there's pretty much no queue. We had an option to dine inside, upstairs, or outdoors; however, the staff told us that mains won't be served until 11. We chose a spot inside where we can still enjoy the view. It has acces to the beach so we went there to kill time and enjoy the sea. Few minutes of basking and we decided to go back as the air was stifling, not to mention that we were not wearing any sunscreen đ€Ł By the time we arrived, our seat was already occupied and the place was starting to get busy. We got a spot next to it so no biggy. On to their menu, they offer good choices of grilled, seafoods, and other Filipino dish. We ordered the grilled pork belly plus sugpo sa bawang at aligue, and it arrived faster than we expected. The pork belly was okay. I would probably order this again but it's not something I would crave for when I think of this resto. I saw a vlog about their sugpo sa bawang at aligue and I was soooo excited to try it! The meat was cooked right but I wish there's a smokey flavor to it. What I liked most was the aligue (crab fat) sauce! It was creamy and I loved that it had a subtle taste of vinegar. This dish was so appetizing so get ready to order more cups of rice! đ Overall, my Kabsat experience was pleasant and would definitely go back!

Had to try Kabsat because of the hype and because we didn't get to get seats on our last La Union visit. My friends and I visited around 5:30pm and we had to write down our name for the waitlist. We were 8th in line and had to wait outside for around 30 minutes before we got seated. We wanted to get a table on the second floor for a sunset view but the place was packed and we're seated near the waiting area. For our food, we ordered Bicol express, shrimp with aligue, and broccoli with garlic. The shrimp was good, however, it had a strand of hair so we sent it back (and we had to wait again for it to be served). The broccoli was recommended by the waiter, but it was just okay, nothing special. And we also didn't get to finish the Bicol express as we're not sure what part of the pig is in it. Price-wise, I think it's priced well/affordable and their portions are good for sharing, too. They have a B1T1 free offer on cocktails so I ordered headwind and the red colored cocktail. However, when I took a sip of the red colored cocktail, it tasted like cheap fruit juice with alcohol in it. Headwind tasted great, though. But... I started having chest pains after drinking the cocktail. I felt pain on my chest that extended to my back area. I tried standing and walking and using their bathroom to ease the pain. Their bathroom is not well ventilated. I was sweating profusely inside the toilet. And God, ang init talaga. Thankfully, the pain stopped shortly after I left the bathroom. My friend asked me to take a quick sip to check if it's really the drink. I did sip and felt the pain again (less intense) on my chest. Glad I already got to try Kabsat but I'm definitely not coming back again.

Service was horrendous! Food is very mid. Servers literally just point us to our table and it wasnât even cleaned yet! We have to ask them twice in a span of 10 mins to have someone tidy up our table. It takes forever for their server to get us our order. There were so many of them just roaming around and not a single one of them try to get us our order. Oh wait yea they did! After I literally stood up and ask one of them that weâre ready to order. We also asked them about their menu and the best food theycan recommend but it seems like they donât know the type of food/menu that they have. They also got us the wrong drinks and the churros that we ordered has some human hair on top of it! (I guess its a new topping for their dessert menu) So we have to ask them to replace it cause itâs just very unhygienic. Oh! Also, the only time they got so attentive is when we asked for the bill. Man, it was quicker than your mamaâs flying slippers. Overall, this place is overhyped and has the worst service I have ever had in my entire life. We didnât even go during the peak season. The sunset view is not the best. The sun sets at the left most side view of the restaurant so it is not like in front of you. The beach in front is overcrowded during sunset. Yes, it is pet friendly. (We have a small quiet and trained dog on a stroller so I guess they really have nothing to complain about that). We didnât enjoy our dinner here at all. I HIGHLY DONâT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE.

Kabsat La Union Kabsat, a word from Ilocano which means sibling, also used as endearing way of calling a friend or someone close to you without you guys being blood related. In Tagalog slang, it can be compared to âTol/Utolâ or in English âbro/bruhâ. In all honesty, we decided to grab coffee and light snacks in the afternoon when we came here as we already had a heavy lunch. The guys didnât want anything, so we just ordered the: Nachos (â±340) Does not really look impressive, especially for the price. Taste is even worse. Churros con Chocolate (â±250) This would have been good. What can go wrong. The quantity of course. La Niña (â±290) Sanngria with rose wine and fruits. They sincerely made up for the cocktails. This is so good for my taste. Riptide (â±260) Watermelon, gin, calamansi, sugar and basil. For a hit afternoon this is bery refreshing. I do know what appeals people to come here. The native boho style decor, itâs by the beach, a good view of the waves, very hip youthful taste in music, and the hang out. What we didnât like is the service, as waiters wouldnât pay attention to people raising their hands or calling them. The value for money is also not substantial. Small servings, indeed. Perhaps youâre paying for the location. Will come back? Erm.. maybe for partying, drinking and chilling. After all, Elyu is a party scene. #GAPH #gastronomicaladventures #whattoeat #gaph #wheretoeat #foodie #wheretodrink #whattodrink #Kabsat #elyu #launion

I want to start the review right but not really up for it. Granting if you put some boxes where it should be most of the boxes would be unticked. I hope the company doesn't take this the wrong way..but personally I would say you guys should do better. So to start off, when we came half of the menu was not available... Remainder of the menu was GREAT. And....... that'll be the peak of the 2 Stars. It would have been great and redemption hranting we waited for an hour and a half for seats. But then............. By the end, half the fam was told to get out of the beach beds/seats they'd occupied(a server told them it was all good from the start) located halfway to the shore by one of the security. We were in the resto for almost 6 hours(including an hour and a half wait for seats). Most of it was inside and then half the group went out to the beach when the sun was setting. I was wondering how that happened when a bottle of Hennessey was 3 grand already and we took out two. My in laws were told we should bill out from the restaurant and then open another billing to use for the beach beds/seats(1500pesos/consumable). How inconvenient granting we've dished out nearly 15K. High fives all around ELYU! P.S. Atleast your crab was good. After jumping from 650pesos to 1400+/- (take not, the price jump was not on the menu so be wary tourists) đ€Ł
