The view is nice but the price is high and the food is not so fresh(cold) and took a lot of time before it was served. There is a supervisor that is easy to approach however the quality of the scampi and calamares is not...ok for the price. The serving portion is too little for the price of 495 and 550. Also they allow sellers of fresh fish or crabs to bother dining guests from the sea view.More

Each year when we go to pangasinan, maxine is definitely a stop over. Dishes here are delicious, staff friendly and the ambiance, excellent. This place is actually more of a place where one casually lounges around and eat delicious sea delicacies

Maxines was the lace to go in Lucap. It is still a nice restaurant with dining areas going out over the sea. The food was not bad but not as good as it has been, not much taste in some of the dishes. I had...'spicy' sizzling sisig but it was not spicy or sizzling. When I commented they just bought a dish of small chillies for me to add. The Kare Kare was also quite tasteless. It was not cheap and they STILL do not take credit cards so you have to carry enough cash. How long can they continue living in the past when new restaurants are opening in Pantalan (Hundred Islands National Park wharf area).More

Lovely seafood, service was okay. Can't buy wine by the glass 😔 Restaurant is basic but clean, we didn't use the facilities so can't comment. Lovely view at sunset. We had calamari & bangus (boneless Filipino fish) it was delicious.

My family went here to have lunch and we weren't expecting the drastic difference from the last time we went here to now. The food tastes so much better, the staff are friendly and approacheable, and there was a band that played two songs for...each table. All in all, it was a truly excellent experience. 10/10 would recommend.More

This place was nice for a quiet lunch out. However, being a seaside restaurant there was a certain smell coming from the sea upon entering the premises. The food, on the other hand, was deliscious. One of their specialties was their calamares - it stood...out from all other calamares I've tasted. I also liked their Sashimi Dorado was great because it not the typical fish you'd find in a sashimi selection.More

Having lunch by the sea is a great experience. They have group meals which were enough for the number of people stated. For the budget conscious, don't forget to add 10% service charge on the bill computation. And, veer away from their fried food which...I think is quite expensive and has small portions (but yummy). On the otherhand, their soup dishes like bulalo and local noodles have generous servings.More

This place specialized in fresh sea food and we had the oysters, shrimps, fish, and crabs. Lucky in this area, they have loads of fresh seafood. The service was a tad slow even if there were few customers when we came late afternoon, but the...food was very good and freshly made so that made up for our wait by the ocean. We chose to eat in the open area by the ocean and enjoyed the breeze and the tour boats going by.More
