Food is tasty and the portions are generous. It is surprisingly affordable as well. The place could use a little bit of breathing space though because it feels crowded even when it is not crowded. The chairs and tables are not easy to kove around. It does not offer WiFi connectivity and does not have enough parking space too, which is unfortunate because this resto feels like it primarily caters mostly to diners who come in the evening with cars.

Me and my partner went here for dinner for the first time. It was past 8 pm, so the place was almost empty. We found this place through Google Maps. Heaps of good reviews, however disappointing. The ambiance is superb, as well as the interior. The staff are lovely too. They have a good selection of food, but it was too ordinary. I could easily make the food at home if I weren’t just a visitor here in Bohol. The bulalo was bland. The calamares was too crispy. The grilled pork was nothing special. The only good thing is the garlic fried rice. It had the perfect balance. We spent 1,500 for the two of us. Unfortunately, the price is not worth it for the serving size and well. the plating.

Gerarda's Restaurant food is the best in Bohol. Food made with love! Love the dinakdakan and all seafood dishes and of course,the desserts!! 😁😁😁 I recommend families to come here and enjoy! Nice ambiance,nice service! ❤️

Dad got the fish with garlic rice on side and I ordered the seafood noodle with ATA (hence the cool black color!). Soooo good- we are going back again tonight, if our plans allow. Great service too! I loved how the waiter ordered our drinks and then came back to order food. He had great recommendations for beer and for seafood dishes as well. I also appreciated him confirming our order and making sure it was okay that it would take 20 minutes to cook. Setting expectations is awesome. Great communication and great food! Well priced. Looked like it would be a great place for larger family events too. 5/5 stars! Delicious

The ambiance is nice and classy. The service was great but the food is a bit average on somr items. Blue marlin wasn't fresh, Calamares is meh and bland, portion is small considering it's in the 300s. Kare2 is delish.

From the moment we stepped into Gerarda's Place in Bohol, the atmosphere was immediately welcoming, hinting at the exceptional dining experience that was to follow. A significant part of this experience can be attributed to the outstanding customer service we received, particularly from Jade. His professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine enthusiasm for ensuring guest satisfaction were truly beyond compare. Jade's expertise on the menu helped us navigate through the vast array of choices with ease, offering recommendations that perfectly suited our preferences. His attentive yet unobtrusive service ensured that our meal was seamless and every request was met promptly with a courteous smile. His engaging manner not only made us feel valued but also added a personal touch to our dining experience. It's rare to find someone as dedicated and passionate about service as Jade. His commitment to excellence is a testament to the high standards Gerarda's Place holds itself to. We left with not just a memorable meal, but with the intention of returning, largely due to Jade's exceptional service. Gerarda's Place is indeed fortunate to have him as part of their team, and we look forward to our next visit.

Cozy and homey ambience. Food is great. Service is also great, staff are accommodating and alert even when we were still making reservations. The only downside is there's not a lot of parking space so if theirs is full, you will have to park a bit farther and just walk to the restaurant, but commuting is not a problem.

Gerarda's Place is the best to go for Filipino Cuisine experience. We had seafood lunch over with my friend from Cebu and we did not regret coming here! I really love the their crabs and shrimp gambas! The service was excellent, the crew were very attentive and they even assisted me when an unexpected issue on my card took place. Overall, this is a perfect place for family, friends and large group of people to dine in. They have air-conditioned rooms too which i love especially during hot afternoon. Come and visit their branch in CPG and in Dauis. PS. Sulot gud imoha gebayad diri! Its worth the penny you paid for!

Love the ambiance. The place has its historical feels. Staff were friendly and accommodating. Overall, a good dining experience.

Good Big Space, Food Avarage filipino food, 3rd time to be back … Safe food don’t be expecting to be blown away food. but good enough. staff are cortuse and accomodating .

Nice looking place, very nice coconut shake and served me quick, but the Blue Marlin took long to arrive as it was overcooked and dry....then I discovered why, the most part near the skin tasted rotten. The lady took the piece away and said that is how it should smell nearer the skin, but it wasnt just there it was any part that was not overcooked, a bacteria taste/spell like tripe which makes me dry wretch. I paid and left.

I can't explain how elated I am to have found this comfort food, family recipe, old house restaurant. Bohol is not Bohol without Gerarda's. The taste buds of the person who made their menu -- 💣 💥 THE BOMB!!! Food, service, atmosphere, price --- soo worth it!!! Never leave Bohol without eating at Gerarda's.

Dinakdakan and pork sinigang were our orders. It seemed like the pork needed to be cooked for longer because it was difficult to chew. The dinakdakan is only typical. The mango shake is rather unsweet. I don't get the fuss about this place.

I rented a car. The rental man recommended here for dinner. I could get here easily with google map though hard road for driving btw I super strongly recommend you to visit here if you want to try traditional Philipino food. My family and I didn’t know how time of eating flies so fast. I am sure to say this restaurant is the No 1 Philipino food restaurant in bohol. I love here and the handsome staff called Jade was really kind. Thank you for giving us a good memory :)

My father in-law loved Gerarda's. It feels like home... We always loved the food. The staff is always very kind, hospitable and quick to respond. Food is served fast. Loved that esp whenever we came here hungry. That's why I didn't have the chance to took a picture with all the food. ✌️😅 The restroom is very clean. They also have tissue provided. Overall experience is great! All the time!

We went for the all you can eat buffet. It is 500 peso per person. The food selection is good, they have prawns, kinilaw (raw marinated fish like ceviche), fried chicken, savory pork, roast veg. There is a soup, rice of course, fries, some salad ingredients and cake and fruit. The pork was very tasty. I found a few bones in the kinilaw but it was delicious. My biggest disappointment was that the prawns were not cleaned, still had poop shoot inside. I was looking forward to prawns as it's in the name. It takes very little time to devein a prawn. They do take cards for payment. You can see the whole experience on our YouTube video of Island central mall on Bryandiscoversworld.

We ate buffet. It was not bad. 400 per person. Not much choice. Sinagang, shrimp, sweet and sour tilapia, tempura chicken, meat and broccoli, and that’s it. For dessert ube cake, watermelon, and pineapple. There’s also salad. Decor is good but place is really loud. I’d like to try a la carte next time because the buffet food was just okay. Nothing special.

Wasn't able to eat and try the food but we had a taste of the service. The place is great though the mezzanine has low ceiling. There was still a lot of table and seating in the mezzanine area and few on the main dining. The waiter greeted with a caveat that they'll be able to serve us lunch after 45 to 1 hour. That long. We were essentially being pushed away already. There must be something basically wrong with how this restaurant is managed.

The best family restaurant you can find in island city mall. Ticks off all your criterias for a family restaurant. Spacious and big venue, can house big groups. Staff are efficient and attentive. Faster serving time. Has plenty of high chairs, has a diaper changing table. Very convenient! Elegant design and expensive looking but don’t be intimidated, you’ll find that it’s more affordable to dine here than in other family restaurants available inside the mall. We always order chix and chips and any kind of soup dish for a peaceful mealtime that me and the kids love. You could order any food item in their menu and it’ll taste great. Except for maybe the buttered chicken if you’re expecting a breaded fried buttered chicken. Hehe Overall, we love this restaurant and is our go to safe place especially when we are with kids and elderly people(coz theyd always look for fish soup)

The food is good. It's pricey but worth it.

Great for sharing with lots of pinoy food options.

Super worth the price. Coming from a person with health issue. No worries of food choice. They serve healthy foods. We had a buffet for lunch. Super love it! I forgot I'm on diet. I love how fast they accomodate costumers. They had a clean and good smelling toilet. hahaha My pictures we're taken so quick coz you know I gotta eat. I don't want to disturb people getting their food from the buffet also. Everything is delicious!

One of our fave place to dine-in at ICM (Island City Mall, Tagbilaran City, Bohol). We usually avail their "Make Your Own Combo" since it's budget-friendly and worth the price! For only P159.00, you already have a cup of rice, a drink of your choice (iced tea or cucumber), 1 main course, 1 side dish, and a bowl of soup. Complimentary peanuts' also given while waiting for your order. I highly suggest you try their halo-halo 👍 but not their scallops 👎 Wait time will take 30-45 minutes!

The prices are above average and the food is pretty good. There are better restaurants with better prices and bigger portions. Stay away from this place.

We went here on the 1st of November for lunch with my parents. It was a good choice since I was craving their Ebi Tempura. The staff asked us for our orders, and it was a good thing that he mentioned they had their Bisayang Tinolang Manok, which delighted my father. We also ordered their Chow Pat Chin(Chopseuy) and Ebi tempura. With the food arriving, the tinolang manok was served first, then the chop suey. The tinolang manok was good! It was just added to their menu, and it was tasty; the chicken was soft, and the broth was flavourful! The chop suey was also a mixture of flavours between the mushroom, broccoli and other veggies- a balance of flavours. The Ebi tempura took a while to be served. I was excited when it was put on our table, but the taste was different. The sauce was bland, and the tempura itself was a bit light as well. I wish they could improve it, so people still look forward to ordering the Ebi tempura. The staff was great and attentive. And knows what they’re doing. And we appreciate that he mentioned they added a new menu (tinolang manok). The place itself - the interior was elegant and a bit “shiny”. The ambience itself was great. However, the air conditioning needs a bit of work; it was not breezy enough, if I may describe it. Nevertheless, everything was good overall!

The foods were good, great ambiance BUT this restaurant takes a lot of time to make your food. So if you are very hungry this restaurant is not for you!

It is now relocated to the far end of the mall (just a few steps away from Bo's Coffee and Buzzz Café) and is now refurbished to look more like an upscale, fine-dining restaurant. Since it is newly opened, the place looks clean and spacious, the furniture and decors well-put. The menu hasn't changed (even the literal printed menu looks the same, which means it is old and tattered; management should at least create new printed menus) but the taste of the food has significantly improved. It doesn't reach its full gastronomic potential yet, but it is going there. It got minus points for its burnt, overcooked scallops and sad, dull-looking desserts. But at least the waiters this time are quick and act professionally (unlike before when we had a really horrible experience), the place offers WiFi connectivity and has toilet rooms on both of its levels, and the buffet remains affordable.

Foods are so good but serving time during peak time like lunch & dinner will take up to 1 hour. Serving is enough as well. Crews are approachable. They give you peanuts and water as well while waiting.

Interior was nice and clean. We ordered fresh mango juice and it was good as always but food was really bad. Lumpia rolls were soft and not so good. Chicken wasn’t tasty. I couldn’t recommend this restaurant for lunch or dinner

Had a great time of fellowship and good food here with my friends! So glad they were able to preserve the place and even improve it. Visiting this Boholano classic restaurant brings back so much memories!

One of the few original restaurants in the province that are opened way back in the day and are still standing—which is good. The age is showing within its interiors though, and the whole place is not as regularly crowded as before with competition sprouting everywhere. The familiarity of the place makes it comfortable, but it could definitely use a few improvements—from the paint on the walls, lighting, rest room fixtures, to overall aesthetics. It still uses plastic straws for its cold beverages. Food is fine and affordable, if you are simply looking for something that fills your appetite. We particularly loved the Sizzling Gambas and Crispy Crablets. Their Chicken Chicharon and Chicharon Bulaklak needed to be crispier because our order were slightly on the chewier side. Orders could take a long while to be served. There is no free WiFi here as well.

One of my favorite places to go to growing up as a kid. Revisited when in the area again in 2018 and 2019 after a 17 year hiatus and it was so good to find the food was just as amazing as I remembered it being as a kid!

The first BBQ restaurant that I became loyal to. However, over the years, the size of their pork BBQ has shrank and the prices in the menu has increased significantly. In my last visit, there was no atchara and they could not give me chilli. It wasn’t the experience I was expecting like it was before. But on the brighter side, they still manage to maintain their BBQ basting recipe and the taste is still good.

Went here at around 5:30 PM. The place is still empty. Great ambiance and you can see the owner's obsession with chicken. Anyway, we got their grilled chicken super combo, sinigang, chicken easol and salad. Everything was just okay. The grilled chicken however, is really good.

Discovered this place accidentally on our first day in Panglao. Good food nice place. The interior was very cosy full of chicken 🍗🐓🐔 but so refreshing taking you back to old times. Very happy to get lost and find such gem.

The sizzling gambas were amazing, we had a good dinning in this restaurant, thanks.

Yummy chicken barbeque. Nice ambience. A lot of seating. I recommend to arrive before peak hours to have your choice of seating. Waiting time may be longer than expected. Wanted to try the buko salad in buko shell because it looked so yummy but was not available. :(

Had the tuna belly, didn't really like the overwhelming sweetness of the marinade they use. Companion had the chicken inato and that was delicious. Desserts not available. Check updated menu, prices have increased.

5 stars for good sit down (think TGI Friday or Applebees style) family friendly, affordable, quality Filipino food. Chicken wings were great, ribs tender and the sinigang was perfectly sour. They provided fast and kind service along with a baby chair for child. Would recommend and visit again. Salamat!

We liked the chicken popcorn a lot and also the lava cake! The prime sirloin steak was too chewy for us, but the taste was still good. The staff was lovely and they served the food very quickly.

The food was great. We ate in their restaurant once and had food delivered twice already. Flavor was consistent each time. I loved the pork bbq belly and their choco lava cake.

One of my favorite restaurant in Bohol. Food is outstanding, what's make this restaurant stand amongst other is their staff. Best service you could ask. Let me give "Ging" and most especially "Joy" for their best smile whenever I'm here. Thank you for your service. See you again.

1. Food is okay 2. Very accomodating and pleasing crew 3. And a suitable place to relax But.... When it comes to their steak pricing, I'm a little miffed. The menu indicates P400/100g. We placed an order for 550g rib eye steak (do the math), but when the bill arrived it said P2,800 (the steak alone). We were surprised to learn (as explained by the waiter) that the 550g has the same price as the 700g due to the fixed price set by the management. I would like to strongly advise the management to properly orient their staff so that the costumers can receive accurate and appropriate responses. While the sum may not seem substantial, the company's integrity and reputation were at stake.

Good food and just as good service. Would come back to this place

Clean place , great atmosphere, fast service ,really delicious food and genuine quantity. But most of all, the stuff was so kind and welcoming ( they gave us a souvenir) I highly recommend it !

Do yourself a favor and visit this lovely restaurant in Bohol. The service is unmatched. The staff truly cares about your experience. The food is absolutely amazing – everything we tasted is awesome. Absolutely the best meal we had while in philippines. Highly recommend! Finally, special thanks to Christyjoy for her amazing attitude 👏

I went for dinner on October 5th evening. It was excellent. A bit lonely maybe. Next time I bring my friends (' Maybe a bit too much rice and not enough side dishes and meat. 70%rice 30%side. But tasty. (must have the garlic rice). But you'll definitely get full because of the rice. Big compliments to the waitress Very friendly and good service. Salary increase for you directly. Sofa is in a bad condition (maybe chance the topper in the future) Thanks and see you soon

We love dining at just sizzlin, we’ve been here 4-5 times now and always come back. The staff are always so pleasant and helpful. They have a good range of dishes and sharing options. Always clean and quick service/ waiting time.

I like the food here, I really recommend eating here. I wasn't able to eat all of the other foods but according to my aunt, they really serve good foods here.

I was there for a business function. Been there many times. Aside from ordering from them thru food panda, their delectable flavors of their food is what keeps me from ordering over and over again. Their grilled pork is superb and so also with the pancit. The staff was also very friendly.

The food was not bad. The prawns were yummy. But the batter for the calamari and fish were not that great & was quite thick. The sisig with unlimited rice deal was great

We had calamari, sautéed veg, BBQ ribs, veg fried rice and peppered beef. All food was amazing - probably the best so far across the Phillippines. The waiting lady, Joy, was lovely too! Recommended thumbs up!

Been eating here thrice and I really love this place. Modern and very well-ventila ted in ambiance. They serve all kinds of poultry and seafood goodies laid on top of sizzling metal plates, perfect for solos, dates and even family gatherings. They're cuisine is a mix of Pinoy, Western, and a bit of Japanese styles base on the meal we had ordered, although it is not as authentic as I expected to be but the taste is a double thumbs up for me. Since this place is quite popular and foods are serve longer because they have to sizzle it up, they serve you a basket of prawn crackers with vinegar (popular Filipino snack) while waiting. Staffs are very friendly and serves you well. For more reviews, please click my profile and like. 😁

Best pizza and salad in the Philippines so far. Authentic Italian taste, quality ingredients. The staff are excellent, offer another beer as yours is finishing 👍. Level of service you don't find often. The setting is great, lots of parking, open and breezy so nice and cool. Clean toilets. You can watch the pizza being made and can see into the kitchen. (Love that) Highly recommended. We spent just over 1000 peso / under $20 for a large pizza, huge salad and a bucket of 5 beers.

Best Italian we've Found in Bohol. Owners are Legit Italians, who reside on site, + work hard to please their customers. If you like good food, you definitely won't be disappointed in this place!

Lovely place, lovely food and lovely staff. We dined tonight on a stormy evening, the place was cosy and the staff were very helpful and welcoming. The food and wine was delicious and fairly priced and we had a nice chat with the wonderful husband and wife who own the restaurant. MASSIVELY RECOMMEND

After the flight from Hongkong to Cebu then the ferry to Bohol we've been really exhausted and were happy to find the place Al Fresco Bay Cafe', they had very good pasta and bruschetta

This was the best dinner I’ve had in weeks. It was delicious. I ate every crumb and also the pricing was cheaper than I expected. It’s a great value. I would highly recommend it for travelers if they need something a bit more like home. For long term travelers this is a gem of a place. Thanks for the great meal y’all.

Dined here with my husband during our short Bohol getaway. Generous servings of quality and delicious food. We highly recommend their Caprese with local Buffalo Cheese. It was so fresh and flavoursome. Staff are very polite and attentive. This will be our go-to restaurant whenever we come to Bohol.

Food was amazing, it tasted like in Italy. I think thats the best restaurant in Tagbilaran. I can recommend lasagna, gnocchi pomodoro and typical dessert from Bohol :)

Best pizza we’ve in had in Asia after 3 months of travelling! Really friendly staff. Family run business. Definitely recommend!

Terrific place in Tagbilaran, a city that used to be so lacking in Italian food that you would've thought there was a ban on nice food. Typical pasta offerings on the menu with the addition of ravioli and tortelloni, stuffed pasta that always gets my attention. Like the title, the dining room is al fresco, but the food is exquisite. You need to come here and experience his coal-fired oven pizzas, and enjoy the Italian hospitality.

You know you are in for a treat when you enter a restaurant and are greeted by the owner and there is a good mix of tourists and locals. The cherry on top is that the owner of thos Italian restaurant is a true Italian! The Antipasta Misti was a great start to the meal, but the star was the pizza! Honestly the best I've had since I was in Italy 9 years ago! We topped it off with a banana split and a limoncello. I've never had limoncello before, but for me it was delicious! The price is more than fair for the area, and the service is very good! Thank you for a pleasurable dining experience, and we hope to see you again soon!

Wow, finally after many many years we found a restaurant in Tagbilaran City with great food and service as well as lots of choices. Guido is a gentleman and really knows how to make a restaurant work. We will return many times whenever we are in Tagbilaran City. Thanks for the delicious dinner. 😁

I was on Vacation with my girlfriend, we found Al Fresco Bay the most best found restaurant in Bohol period... Guido and Helen created a very pleasant and welcoming atmosphere. I was always happy to give them my business.

I stumbled into Al Fresco's after seeing a few pictures of their pizza and after one bite, I knew it was the real deal. The sauce, the dough, the cheese. It felt like I was back in Italy. I asked the server if the owner was Italian and turns out he was sitting behind me. We got to talking and realized we both had the same last name and our families were from the same region in Italy. Small world! Moral of the story is, if you're looking for an authentic Italian restaurant in Bohol, look no further!

Our go-to-place whenever we are in the city, esp.if we have our dog with us. There's a shaded parking space and the staff are very friendly. The owner even asked us to bring our paralyzed dog to sit beside us while we were eating when there were no other customers. The food is always good of course and we always enjoy our time here. Thank you Guido and Helen.

Fantastic authentic Italian food, with an Italian owner. Very lovely staff! I had to take the pizza home as I didn’t want to waste any. Couldn’t recommend enough.

Highly recommended steak. My dad is a retired seafarer (40+ years) and he used to enjoy his steaks abroad. Sadly, he has never tasted "true" steak, his words not mine, in our travels until this restaurant.
