Maxine By The Sea is a relaxed restaurant popular for local Filipino dishes with sea views and outdoor deck seating. The food quality varies by visit, with vegetable-based dishes like pinakbet receiving praise, while seafood items show mixed reviews and some inconsistency. Prices are moderate but seen as high by some, and the setting by the shore offers scenic views though windy conditions and occasional live entertainment may affect the dining atmosphere.
