The place itself is very nice, the ambiance makes it feel upscale. The boat-like counter is over the top and takes up most of the room in the not too big place but its different and i liked how there was water around with fishes. Not really necessary though but I get what they were trying to do.
As for the ordering from the menu, half the things I asked for weren't available. Though it was written on the menu, like risotto, pizza (ordering it for the kids) but we were in a Filipino restaurant so it was confusing they had Italian dishes but it wasn't available. I really was annoyed with that. Anyway I ended up ordering sisig and lumpia shanghai. Those were under appetizers but I wanted them as my main dish. The two dishes were so-so. The sisig didn't have the egg on top and tasted the peppers throughout my meal, super greasy too. Felt like oil was coming through my pores or something. The lumpia shanghai was a huge disappointment. No flavor at all, so bland and just a waste. I've had better from Ihawan. The other food my hubby and inlaws ordered were really good. The crispy pata, was on point!! So crispy and tender loved the flavor of it too. The kare-kare was so flavorful and on point too. Also the sinigang was good, my daughter enjoyed it a lot.
There were only 2 waiters when we went on a Sunday around 1pm. Slow service but wasn't in any rush. The waiters kept apologizing on the wait since the place was getting packed with customers. It was understandable. It was a good experience. Oh yea they have a huge drop screen that was showing ny 1 news the whole time we were there, pretty funny I thought.
This place is the tackiest Filipino place Ive ever been to. They've been close for awhile and when they reopened we all expected it to be better that it once was. Heck no! They redone the place to try and look upscale but it just doesn't work, everything looked like its a whole big mess. And the food does not help either. Expensive and disgusting. Their fried calamari was undercooked and nasty and the "marinara" that came with it tasted like it came directly from the can. If you are to come to this place, come for the company never for the food unless you want to be disappointed.
