This was a really nice surprise in the Sabang beachfront. I went to this restaurant which was host to the weekly "Classic Club" lunch event. It was my first time attending this event and eating at a restaurant that was not part of my resort package deal. We had a very nice 3-course meal as well as drinks and dessert! Staff was very friendly and attentive. The view from the front patio overlooking Sabang Bay was great!

atmosphere was nice enough... free Wifi... beachfront restaurant in Sabang.
Only soup option is the soup of the day...today was cabbage soup... not overly appealing. I tried their "Works Burger" which could not be said to have the works... it barely had anything on it... but at least some lettuce and onions and cheese... a bit over done, but flavor ok. bun was nice and flakey. fries also ok. More expensive than should be for just a burger and a coke about 800 pesos ($20) in the Philippines.

As is typical, the waiters and waitresses are nice enough when you can get their attention, but they were not overly attentive to customers... the abundance of mobile phones has caused service to go down in PI.

Finally, atmosphere would be much improved with better modern music... they were playing some odd German folk music or something... not very appealing for a beachfront dinner.

Hemingway's is a small beachfront bistro on Sabang beach, Puerto Galera. This full-service restaurant claims to have some of the best steaks in the Philippines. I have to agree it is some of the best I've had, however this review is about dessert; bananas flambé. Have one with a cup of coffee and house Brandy.

The good: the bananas flambé, steaks, and the view.

The bad: the price.

The ugly: no ugly here.

Amazing imported steaks, wonderfully cooked, but dig deep into your pockets for the final bill can be a bit of a shock......Once in the holiday is enough, service is getting worse compared to recent visits over the years, would generally agree with other comments on this aspect.... Still a good dinning experience, but it used to be a great one.....

Apparently my boyfriend and I are not the only ones to be disappointed with Hemingways in recent months.based on the other reviews we have been reading. Average and slow service and OK food. We were a bit surprised as it had been highly recommended especially being located right on the beach.
