Nice al fresco atmosphere. Food was delicious - the Baby back ribs is what brought us back. Sizzling green beans were also yum. Great value and good quality. Service was a little poor and the waiters could be a bit more attentive.

The place is cozy as it has your typical nipa hut as setting, complete with pretty lights that envelope the place as we went there for dinner. You'll be greeted by their courteous crew upon entering.. you must try their lobsters, kingcrabs, kilawin dishes & their sinigang na snapperfish ( the crew said it comes from the family of talakitok...

Tapyas View Deck and soaking for hours in Maquinit Hot Spring, we ended our 1st day in Coron by dining at Santino's Grill, which is recommended by Ms. Dianne Palanca from Palanca Guest House, she said that the food in Santino's is good. We ordered BBQ and Prawns, IT WAS GREAT! The food is... More

During 4 days in Coron, visited Santino's Grill twice. The place is located quite far from the main square, so take a tricycle to drive there - takes about 5-7 minutes. Although the service was a bit slow, the food was great. As the name indicates, it is good to stick to the grill menu, although the other plates looked... More

The restaurant was always full of people, as well visited from local tourists. Mostly a good sign. We have been very satisfied.

Ordered grilled seafood. Crabs weren't fresh, when asked why the meat separated from the shell and it commented that it was so thin. Attendant answered crabs got thin from waiting. :) grilled fish was overcooked and liempo was coated with too much sweet sauce. Our group paid about Php2,200. Slow service, bad food...they need to back off with their wise... More

You have to try the grilled pork or beef (same price) but other dish are also nice. We tried the fish soup... Yummy. If you are four, you can enjoy a set for 4. They also serve ice tea by the litter. The price is very reasonable. The service might be a little bit long, but it worth it. There... More

we had our dinner here. We ordered steak here it was their specialty. Food is great and they have a big serving too! Although it was quite far from the towns center it was worth the try. Price is affordable plus big serving, I recommend this place!
