Wanted something else thats not Filipino food, so found this on google reviews. Restaurant view was incredible. I can just sit there for hours and watch the view but it was quite warm in the noon. Food was average, tuna tartare was fresh. Pasta was sweet-ish for me. Mojito had a decent alcohol, they used lemons tho, not lime. Staff was professional. I'd recommend if you want to sit and sip for the views.

THE BEST FOOD
such a hidden gem, this is a must try. The staff are so helpful and the atmosphere is perfect.
Had some delicious fish dishes, the squid, tuna and catch of the day was so fresh and full of flavour. Good wines too.
You can go downstairs too and have a drink on daybeds at beach bar.

Seafood Paelia was delicious , tar tar portion is very big and a bit spicy., Incredible view on sunset, chill music. So friendly personal and clean washroom. We ordered steak tenderloin medium rar, after that got sick with food poisoning , vomiting all next day and went to the hospital.

Came for dinner and drinks, liked the weekend vibe! Cocktails were decent. Food was Spanish-Mediterranean and tasted authentic (verdict from my Spanish partner). Very friendly service! The restaurant is located together with Panorama boutique hotel.
I rate Chabacano restaurant 3 out of 5. Despite the stunning ambience and an almost empty restaurant, the disappointment stemmed from unavailability of key menu items, including the promoted lobster and cheesecake. Given the considerable cost of our dinner, exceeding 7000 pesos, I expected clearer communication about unavailable items before ordering.
While the ambience was lovely, the toilet facilities did not align with the fine-dining classification and could use improvement. The dinner experience was also disrupted by a neighboring karaoke bar, generating excessive noise that hindered conversation.
Although I won't be returning, I acknowledge the potential charm of the place during daylight hours, offering a likely breathtaking view.

Lobster Paella
It's a beautiful looking restaurant, but that's not just not enough to justify the prices. Positioning itself as a fine dining establishment, they certainly charge like one, but the service, the food is just not there yet. The menus look cheap and scruffy, the drinks and wine list are barely legible and peppered with typos and spelling mistakes. Having asked for some bread for the gazpacho and being served 2 limp slices of sliced bread, besically sums it up.
Good luck too if you are vegan or vegetarian.
Poor, very poor

We went there for dinner our last night cause we saw the place couple of days before when we were watching the sunset and we had curiosity. The staff is amazing, Jeppy and Ian were taking care of us, being just an absolute gem with us! The food was really tasty and soft! I thought I was in Spain for a second! Watch the sunset there if you have the chance, the views are a blast!! thanks team xx
