After spending several days in Indonesia, I can confidently say that this was the most exceptional meal I’ve had. It truly feels like the pinnacle of high-end dining in Surabaya. The service was impeccable; I even had a delightful conversation with the waiter about a show called “Flowers and Youth” (Hua Shao), and our exchange was smooth and engaging.
He went above and beyond by helping me switch to a more comfortable seat. The portions were not only generous but also perfectly suited my taste. For those who prefer lighter flavors, I highly recommend the steamed fish and pumpkin sprouts. The black pepper crab and salted egg yolk shrimp, which were recommended by other diners, were equally fantastic.
In short, after an adventurous day climbing a volcano 🌋, treating yourself to a meal here is an absolute must!

I totally agree that the service there is outstanding! That personal touch with the waiter made the experience feel extra special, just like you described. And those seafood portions? Pure heaven on a plate!
The seafood here sounds amazing! I love how attentive the service was, and getting tips about “Flowers and Youth” from the waiter adds such a personal touch.
