Tablo Kitchen x Cafe BF Resort Village — Restaurant in 2nd District

Went here on Sunday night to have dinner and a few drinks with my friends. We were seated in their annex which was just right across the main restaurant (the lot that was previously occupied by Central). It had no air condition but it is well ventilated. The inside of the restaurant was very clean and it is nature-themed which gave off a relaxed & cozy ambiance.

So again we came here for dinner on a Sunday night & it was packed but the queue for the annex wasn't that long compared to the main resto so we didn't have to wait too long to be seated. The staff were very busy, but they were still attentive and courteous, which is always a big big plus on my dining experience.

We ordered nachos and a parmegiana pasta for sharing as appetizers while we were waiting for our mains. Only one of my friends ordered a different main dish which was a burger, while the rest of us chose pork steak because I think we were told that this was the best among the recommended items on their menu. My partner loved their pasta, the Chicken Parmigiana. My friend's burger was okay and I won't recommend it since you can find better tasting ones from other places, and cheaper too. Maybe if he hand ordered their chicken sandwich instead, then he would have enjoyed our dinner more. And now, onto the Texas Bbq Pork Steak - now this I would really recommend getting because the meat was tender, the glaze made it more tastier and satisfying to eat along with rice. And the portion size will have you full (I'm 5'8" weighing at probably 190 lbs). And then for their (non-alcoholic) drinks, try their Lychee something2x shake (haha). While for drinks with alcohol, go for their Sangria.

I would gladly return here to try their other specials. Just maybe not during weekends since the on this neighborhood during this times is a pain...

This is actually my second time eating at this place. Which means that they gave me a good reason to go back. When we arrived at the place, the parking area was already full. We had to double park, which is not a problem really. They will just call us when one of the cars parked needs to leave. They still require you to wear a mask while inside (not while eating of course) as well as to fill up a form for contact tracing. We decided to seat outside for a change since we sat inside on our first visit. I appreciate them re-arranging the tables so the 4 of us can sit together and comfortably. They immediately asked us if we wanted some water, which is nice. The prices for their food is actually pretty cheap, given that their servings are quite big. One rice meal can actually serve 2 people, unless of course you're really hungry. We ordered the Shrimp Gambas, Beef Adobo Cream, and Salt and Pepper Pork Meal. We ordered a side of cajun and garlic rice since the Gambas and Adobo didn't come with rice. Their shrimp and squid for the Gambas was generous. And it was soooo good. The Adobo was ok. Adobo in coconut cream is probably an acquired taste for me. The Pork meal included a big slice of pork chop. It was perfectly cooked and was not tough to chew. I wanted to end the meal with a coffee and slice of cake. However, for some reason, my order took a long time and I had to follow up twice. By the time they asked me again which cake I wanted, I no longer wanted it and I had to cancel the order. All in all, the experience that Tablo gives you is excellent. The delay I experienced could be an outlier and I hope it doesn't happen again the next time...

Nice experience with Tablo tonight. Been here a few times already with the family in the past but I think tonight's the best one. Usually during holidays or special events (e.g. mother's day or in our case Father's Day) the place is jam packed with people. But this time, the waiting time only took 10 mins even though we expected it to be more than that. I love how every staff is quick and attentive. Special mention to Ms. Issa and for Sir Khael (sorry I'm not sure on his exact name but he's short from what I can remember) for attending first to us.

Really grateful to Sir Rhon, the staff assigned to us during our dinner, he was very considerate and he made sure all our requests are met (i.e. photo taking, senior & pwd discounts, follow ups on our orders, etc). Tablo also gave special gifts to all dads this Father's day. My dad got an Iced Latte for free (through picking out a card randomly) and a discount voucher on his next visit.

Love that they accomodate PWD and Senior discounts even if you forgot the physical ID. My parents' IDs were present but I forgot mine and Sir Rhon made sure I can still use mine despite not having it physically that time. He made me list down the ID details and the discount was applied. No hassle at all.

Food tastes good as always, but tonight's better because of the overall experience every staff contributed on. I think the management, especially the staff, deserves a raise! I'm excited to visit again soon because of this wonderful...
