We visited this restaurant on a weekend, which is understandably a busy time. However, the service left much to be desired. Upon entering, staff saw us but offered no greeting or menu.

Came to the restaurant by recommendation. Tried their Bangus steak and pinakbet.

The bangus steak was absolutely delicious! served on a sizzling plate, coming out hot and perfectly cooked. Flavor was rich, savory, and very satisfying. Marinade was well balanced. Highly recommend if you are a Bangus lover and around Dagupan!

Service was warm and welcoming. The staff might not be really experienced, but I learned that Dagupena hire individuals who haven't finished school as a way to give them a chance which I truly admire and appreciate.

Overall, I love the atmosphere and would definitely recommend. I'd love to go back whenever I...
