Denisia's Grill — Restaurant in La Union

I had high expectations based on online reviews but i was not happy with the quality of the food. The seafood platter had small crabs that are emaciated and mussels that hardly had anything in them (sorry i did not take pics, but my everyone (11 adults) all agreed the mussels in there were just too emaciated that they should not have been served anymore. The sinampalokang kambing tasted good but had no meat left on the goat’s bones. I do understand that goats are, by nature, not as meaty, but it looks like they scraped all the meat for kaldereta or kilawin. I liked the tanigue kilawin but when i ordered again, it was no longer as good as our first order. I was not as happy ordering it the 2nd time. The prices would have been reasonable if only the quality of their main ingredients was good. The inihaw na tuna belly was not particularly tasty, just salty and served plain without calamansi or some dipping sauce, as many of us are used to. Just unhappy… i hope i was just unlucky and the usual quality is more satisfactory than what i have described. I really wanted to try something local and avoided Dencio’s which is from Manila. Please note that I support local businesses whenever i can, sadly this is one I am not so enthusiastic to endorse. I hope the place takes this feedback positively. No harm to the business...

Has spacious parking lot with gravel surface. There is a performance stage near the counter, and also cottages outside the main building where you can enjoy your meal. The restaurant is spacious, with numerous clean wooden tables and chairs. The restaurant building has open sides, allowing wind through the dining area for comfortable and natural ventilation. They serve well-cooked, flavorful Dinakdakan with balanced amount of meat and fat and a bite of spice. This is a must-try Ilocano dish. You can also enjoy the hot soup, fresh vegetables, and tender meat of the "Sinigang na Bagnet", a variation of the traditional Pork Sinigang. Then finish your meal with their selection of desserts or drinks. They sell ice cream, too. The restaurant has a toilets for male, and female, and a hand washing area outside the toilet rooms. Their service is quick, and food quality is good during our visit: cooked well, seasoning and flavor are just right; the vegetables are cooked right to retain the crunch; the rice is soft, hot and moist. Customer service is spot on - attentive, polite, quick, and confirms the order to make sure they...

Location is great for travelers. The lights complete the vibes. It was a very windy and slightly rainy night as we got in and ordered food. And I loved that since the breeze blew as we sipped on sinigang soup. Order waiting time was 20minutes maximum and that's reasonable as there's 3 other families on other tables. 3stars only because there's no log in/temp checks at the entrance, the beef steak quality felt like it's her third day, and the chicken cordon bleu (for 2-3 persons allegedly) contained only 5 tiny pieces fit for a child (not 2 adults). Although I loved the cool weather and the short brownout moment where we dined in the dark for 2minutes before the generator turned on, the food should've been better for its prices. Do I recommend eating here? Yes maybe the other food on the menu are better but also, the choco shake was good. To denisia's management, maybe invest on putting pictures on your menu, make sure the meals are worth the price, and prioritize customers' log in for contact tracing since we're still...
