The Cove Live Seafood Restaurant — Restaurant in Lapu-Lapu

We were expecting to have our anniversary dinner , which the reception took our reservation very puntual, with good service and responsible and that's the only positive review we can give.

However, food quality is not good enough compared to their prices and it is overpriced and lack of food presentation.

The restaurant should set the price resonable related to other resort and restaurant in Mactan which give a lot better quality with the similar view and better decoration.

Nothing more to say, we hope they improve for good because their location...

Nice ambiance and friendly staff. Pricey but once you put the food in your mouth you’ll know why it’s all worth it. Seafoods here are SO FRESH and was cooked into perfection that the meat eater in me made me question myself as to why I’m not eating seafood that much.

This is what we ordered (more details in the caption): Pickled veggies- 10/10 Tinap-anan na Pugita- 10/10 Octopus & Squid Laksa- 8/10 Oysters Garlic Lemon Butter- 10/10 Scallops Baked cream & onion- 10/10 Prawn Stewed in Aligue (Crab Fat Roe) & Coconut- 8/10 Dried Anchovy Fried Rice- 10/10 The Cove Trio Ice Cream- 10/10

PS. I’m a picky eater who doesn’t eat seafood unless it’s super fresh, I really loathe the “fishy” smell/taste. That’s why Im so happy that my fiancé...
