Aside from the natural ambience of the place, the food served is as fresh as fresh can be. One thing that makes it different from other seafood restaurants is that guests can actually catch the fish they want to eat. Fishing rods are available for guests to use, and they can fish from the cottage itself.

One thing to remember is that if you catch the fish do not throw it back into the pond. Guests can either have them cooked or they can take it home with them. Guests can have them cooked in any way they want similar to the SuTuKil restaurants in Mactan. The place has become so popular that a number of well-known political and showbiz personalities have dropped by for a visit.
