We had dinner on the top of the Holiday Plaza Hotel, that was pretty nice, you could see the city skyline.

Go for the Waterfront Hotel in Lahug. There's a good place in the mountains La Tegola Italian Resto. You can have dinner there overlooking the city. Food is fab!

For dinner, if you like seafood, I liked the Su-Tu-Kill houses at the Lapu-Lapu Memorial out on Mactan Island.

Fresh seafood, cooked as you like, right on water.

After dinner, consider another side-trip. There's a famous viewing overlook there known as 'Tops', as in the top of the mountains. My local guide suggested the alternative of Mountain View Park, instead. WOW! That's the best memory of Cebu that I'll have forever.

You drive up the side of the mountains, and it's fairly steep, and my ears popped...so you know you're climbing. At the top, it's all set-up as a 'lover's lane' experience with romantic benches, swings, tables, etc, all overlooking the north of Cebu and Mandue. Absolutely gorgeous. There's a refreshments vendor, with drinks, and a clean CR up there also. It's at the foot of a giant cross that's all lit-up, I'd say about 60' tall. IIRC, the security man collected about P400 from us on the way up as an entrance fee. There is limited parking, so you may be dissappointed if you go too late!

BTW, what makes it different than TOPS is the seating, refreshments and CR. It's not simply an overlook.

We stayed at the Waterfront for a bit. The atrium area is just beautiful but the rooms were kind of drab. They did have a great buffet breakfast I think I got more bang for my buck at the Holiday plaza. It is older but the staff was really nice, took great care of us, had the free breakfast and the food at the place on top of the hotel was really good.

Food at the Holiday Plaza is very good but the location is not ideal.
