Racknel - Masbate

I have been here a couple of times both with just my wife and with a bunch of additional young people. We enjoyed the food in general, the service is good and the place is usually busy with people eating a lot. There is a night club next door that can get a bit loud but that place is good to visit after dinner and generally the atmosphere is good. You cannot go wrong if you know what to order.

Yummy fish sinigang... awesome soup... must try! Nice place... Ampalaya is good... more lights around the vicinity please...

Dinner with family. We ordered several dishes and everything tasted good but the crispy pata stood out from among them! My mom told me it's the specialty of the house, we'll it really is special! Place is good for family, business, or just-for-fun night out.

This restaurant is along the seaside at Punta Nursery past the new Suites building and about 1.5 kilometres past 7AR resort and restaurant as one comes from Masbate City.It was opened six years ago. Three side tables are next to a driveway which in turn is next to the sea: the other tables are closer to the road with most being in the same cogon (thatched) roof building.\The owners built their house facing the sea. In Australia we wouldn't have a residence and restaurant together like this but priority could have been given to 'absolute seafront' placement of the restaurant.The 40 year old lady running the restaurant spoke excellent English. There were at least 23 diners on a Tuesday night including a group of Australians from a gold mining company.My lapu-lapu (grouper) took almost an hou to prepare but was served in sweet and sour as I requested and was delicious - this small one cost P320. San Miguel Light made a good accompaniment. They do not appear to serve wines while Pepsi was also unavailable.There was only one dessert listed: Graham (crackers.) Often the case in Philippines that desserts are lacking.Overall however a pleasant venue.

I went there alone on a weekend afternoon to have a bottle of beer and some snacks, but unfortunately they don't serve single servings. The location is great though because it is on the seaside, so you can enjoy the view and the ambience.
