Tempatnya agak masuk ke gang-gang kecil, dan lumayan jauh dari jalan besar, butuh google map bagi yang baru pertama kesini. Banyak variasi makanan dan minuman yang pasti kekinian. Banyak menu seafood juga. Cukup enak sih, harga juga bersaing.

Cukup rame pengunjung walaupun tempat cukup tersembunyi karena harus masuk gang sempit dan hanya bisa dilalui motor, sementara mobil haris diparkir di pinggir jalan yang jaraknya sekitar 75m dari warung. Menu lengkap.

3x kesini selalu tidak pernah kecewa dengan menu yang disajikan. Menu andalan adalah Lobster. Namun kunjungan hari ini stoknya sedang kosong. Baiknya tanya dulu via W.A ketersediaan stok lauknya. Fast respon. Pemilik resto ikut melayani pembeli dan memberi saran menu rekomendasi. Masakan pun beliau sendiri yang buat, karyawan bertugas membantu mempersiapkan bahan dan menyajikan ke pembeli. Pembayaran bisa menggunakan #QRIS. Jadi gak perlu khawatir kalau uang cash yang dibawa terbatas dan adanya hanya saldo unlimited di rekening.

Makanan ala resto tapi namanya nggak banget deh "warung sederhana" dari penyajian dan rasanya setara dengan Dapoer Tempo Doeloe harganya juga murah. Semoga di Brebes nggak ada yang namanya PPh jadi aman harga makanannya. Fotonya kurang satu vanilla smoothies. Tempat nyaman dan kebetulan kesitu hari Minggu jam makan nggak terlalu ramai. Owner juga ramah sayang bahasanya nggak pake bahasa Indonesia jadi kasar gitu ke konsumen tapi para karyawan
