"Another amazing place to dine in Surabaya. Love the ambience and food. Quite obvious I am a soup person(soup sum sum I think) until my colleague gently reminded me of not finishing the soup to keep my not much left hair...🤣🤣"

"The place is good with classic ambience. The food is simple but delicious. Has a chance to try the duck (bebek) menu and delicious. The price also affordable. But please management need to update or to improve the menu books. Such a good eating place but may be need more attention on its menu book already tear or wear. The menu is the 1st way an eating place welcoming it's guest. Thank you."

"Actually it has a very nice building design. It looks like an expensive restaurant from outside but it's not that expensive in fact. But because its building is so nice then I had expected too high for the food's taste, guysm
The price is affordable enough and the design + atmosphere are so nice. It's really nice to a family gathering.
But they really need to improve their food. I feel full but not that happy after I had my lunch here. Because the food was not so special and the chicken is too oily. So, improve please. So the taste of the food can be as awesome as your building ya, guys. 😁✌"
