"A Disastrous Dining Experience: Misleading Promotions, Subpar Cuisine, and Uncivil Service"
Upon my recent venture to a certain establishment, I found myself regrettably compelled to issue this formal review, one marked by not merely dissatisfaction, but a considerable affront to both common courtesy and gastronomical expectation. Permit me to enumerate the grievous faults I encountered, which, I dare say, demand both scrutiny and censure.
The Deceptive "Free Entrance" Promotion: A Breach of Good Faith
At the outset, I must draw attention to the restaurant's egregious advertisement, which—upon careful examination—may be construed as a classic case of "bait and switch." The establishment’s online promotion trumpeted the grand enticement of “free entrance,” a phrase most alluring to the discerning diner. However, upon arrival, it became immediately apparent that this "free entrance" was, in truth, a cleverly worded ruse. To the contrary, the establishment required a minimum expenditure per head—an arrangement most inconsistent with the representation of no charge whatsoever.
Were this merely an unfortunate misunderstanding, it could be dismissed. However, the discrepancy between the advertised promise and the actual policy presents a clear breach of trust. It is, in essence, a contravention of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing that ought to govern all business transactions. This misleading tactic, designed to lure customers under false pretenses, reflects poorly on the integrity of the establishment.
The Food: A Paltry Offering, Tasteless and Uninspired.
Moving on to the sustenance itself, I must express my utter dismay at the quality of the fare served. One might expect, at the very least, an edible and reasonably prepared meal. Alas, I encountered neither. The dishes, devoid of any semblance of flavour or imagination, were lamentably subpar. In truth, these dishes could only be described as bland—nay, insipid—offering no more than the faintest semblance of what one might reasonably expect from any decent establishment. It was, in every sense, an affront to the art of fine dining.
The Service: A Display of Discourtesy and Ineptitude
Regrettably, the service did little to redeem the experience. To describe the staff as inattentive would be a kindness—indeed, the word 'apathetic' might better capture the indifferent nature of their conduct. Upon requesting even the most basic of services, such as a simple water refill, I was met with brusque responses and an air of barely concealed disdain. A most disconcerting and wholly unprofessional attitude prevailed, leaving one to wonder whether any semblance of customer care had ever been imparted to the crew.
Indeed, it was only after several attempts to engage with the staff that I was afforded any semblance of attention, and even then, it was met with a palpable sense of begrudging tolerance. To receive such treatment at any establishment is a considerable misfortune, but to do so in an environment that purports to offer hospitality is nothing short of a travesty.
Conclusion: A Case of Gross Negligence in Service and Representation.
In conclusion, I find myself compelled to warn any prospective patron of this ill-fated establishment. The food, bereft of flavour and imagination, is but the least of the grievances; the deceptive advertising and lamentable service create an atmosphere of disdain and disarray that no discerning individual ought to tolerate. Were this a matter for legal redress, one might argue that the restaurant's conduct constitutes a clear violation of both consumer trust and basic standards of service.
It is with no small amount of regret that I pronounce this establishment unworthy of your patronage, and I shall seek my dining experiences elsewhere, where the terms of service are met with honesty, the food is prepared with care, and the staff are trained in the elementary virtues of civility.
Let this review serve as a cautionary tale for those who might consider entering these...

Hinulugang Taktak National Park offers a stunning natural escape, perfect for those seeking a respite from the bustling city. The cascading waterfall is undeniably breathtaking, and the lush greenery surrounding it creates a tranquil atmosphere. The cool spray of the falls is invigorating, and the various swimming areas provide ample opportunities for relaxation and fun. The park itself is well-maintained, with clear pathways and readily available restrooms.
However, the experience isn't without its drawbacks. Accessibility can be challenging, particularly for those with mobility issues.

Read moreIt was a very wonderful place, though some may say that the only highlights of the place were the hanging bridge and the 360 view, its a matter of appreciating the beauty of things. 🙂 I suggest you try the hanging bridge and the 360 view when its nearly sunset [tn: may kahabaan ang pila sa 360 hanging bridge 😅] because the sunset is just amazing as well as the city lights. 😉😍😍 I just don't have a fine shot habang dumaraan sa hanging bridge but I swear the sight was worth seeing. The 7th Heaven is also good for instagram worth pics, pero mas maganda kung may day light pag dumaan kayo dun. Regarding the foods, I could say that contrary to some negative reviews I've read, its just right but nothing really special with their menu... still, choose carefully nalang sa o-orderin para di ma-disappoint. 😁 And about the concerned persons there, I appreciate the guards facilitating the hanging bridge, kahit pa they're one reason kung bakit di ko masyado na-enjoy yung bridge dahil napre-pressure ako sa pagpito nila. 😂😂 My low points goes with the staffs at the food court area. Reklamo kasi ni daddy di agad nagre-respond yung mga staff nila pag tinatawag. It happens twice; the time we are about to ask for the menu and the time we ask for extra rice. Anyway overall, it was a beautiful...
