Surf and Turf, Davao City

We decided to have an early lunch before we checked out of our hotel in Davao. We spotted this restaurant the day before and being near our hotel, it was perfect for our meal before we headed to the airport.

Surf and Turf is located along the J.P. Laurel Avenue (national highway) near the intersection with Mamay Road and across the Damosa IT Park.

Lobsters are on the menu. Unfortunately, we had a flight to catch and didn't want to eat too much.

Tables at the restaurant - we had early lunch so we had the place to ourselves for a while

We ordered grilled salmon and shrimps

Shrimps cooked Cajun style

The grilled salmon was just right

The cup of rice is actually a pint. This reminded me of a similar serving of rice in a restaurant (Boiling Crab) in Los Angeles one time our cousins took us out for dinner.

They provide a bib and plastic gloves for those who would prefer to eat with their hands. While I typically eat with my hands at home, I don't use gloves made of plastic or any other material. You just have to wash your hands thoroughly before and after a meal. The plastic and bib are just additional, unnecessary waste.

We had good meals at Surf and Turf and will probably eat there again some time if only this were the only good resto in the city. It is good to know you have a fallback where you know you can get a good meal. Price-wise, this was not a cheap resto nor was it an expensive/fancy one so its not for your everyday meal.
