    It only recently opened and they seem to have put a large amount of cash into it. The downside for me was the traffic noise and the uninteresting menu (in that once you had been a few times you had tried all that you liked).

    I liked it there because of their mango shake and the view (but as I said above, that came with traffic noise).

    A similar type restaurant (with ocean view) set maybe 50m back from the highway would be great.

    Also, if I opened a restaurant locally then I would visit perhaps 20 others beforehand and see what was on their menus and what people were ordering. Then pick the best (perhaps the easiest to prepare and most profitable) and not waste time offering things that people don't want. That is modelling (or 'copying' if you like!). That is exactly how I ran my businesses (not restaurants) in the past.

    Copycat haha, I visit there when I passed by and get curious about that new place. What I like at Relaxing View, it was different from most places here, clean, a little bit stylish both the food, furniture, and surroundings. Easy to find places where you get some kind of "sauce" slammed on a plate where it looks like you are maybe customer number 1 000 000. As I remember Relaxing View it was priced little over middle and their customer will for sure be wealthy Filipinos and foreigners

    Visited Relaxing View two months ago. The view may be relaxing, but the food we did order certainly not. Seen it and not worth a second visit, which is out of the question any way as well since they are closed.

    'You say tomato and I say tomahto' (sort of). :smile:

    My theory is just let others do most of the learning for you.

    I eat sandwiches for lunch at Bogarts or Why Not once a week or so.
    Pizza and most pasta's are good at Pasta King.
    Casablanca has nice food, but small portions.
    Any Jollibee if you want fried chicken.

    Nothing else stands out as special or noteworthy. Most menus are plain and generic. Others are overpriced or just not worth it for various reasons.
