Apartment 1B — Restaurant in Makati

Their food is good. We ordered their waffle & eggs benedict.

Their waffle is a bit dense & has a lot of texture. It comes with butter & pineapple+mango chutney on the side.

We love the eggs benedict w/ spinach & bacon. The sides were salad & potato.

Before ordering, we informed the staff that we're using Zomato Gold 2+2 complimentary drinks. We ordered green apple+mint shake & americano (coffee). After our meals, we then asked for the complimentary drinks (same drinks we ordered) to be served. Only 1drink was served (apple+mint shake) and we're surprised that the staff already cleaned up the coffee condiments. So apparently, they forgot to serve the other drink (Americano). The place wasn't even crowded since it was a holiday. There were only 2 tables occupied and most of the waitstaff weren't busy. We expected that they could at least be attentive with the orders since it was not a busy time.

After we paid for our bills, we had to remind the staff that they only served 1 complimentary drinks from Zomato Gold.

We didn't wait for the coffee to be served & just left the resto after that, since it already took them more than 10mins to give us the bill.

Overall, food experience was nice. The other time we went there, we got their carrot cake & hot chocolate and were both my instant favorites!

But the service was a bit disappointing... Sad to say, we left the place not feeling happy after...

Food is good, but not great, in my opinion. Their serving size is reasonably generous, but considering their price range, I guess it’s just decent.

The Big Breakfast was ok, though I’d reckon that the similar dishes from Big City and Dennys are superior. I found the sausages a bit bland; the bacon strips, though not bland, could use a bit more saltiness; the ham slices were just ok.

The Gambas…I dunno…I thought the shrimps tasted a bit fishy. But I guess they’re ok.

The Meatloaf is ok too, and so is their Grilled Porkchop. Their Carbonara is ok too.

Generally, this is a decent place, and I wouldn’t mind going back if I happen to be famished and I’m nearby. However, I probably won’t have craving for their food to intentionally go back.

What I really liked about this place is their service. Their staff were quite wonderful—polite, efficient, helpful, and accommodating. Even though the place has a service charge, we still left a hefty tip. Their serving time was excellent too: all our food arrived in well under the 10-minute mark.

As for parking: they don’t have any. You’d have to find public...

Is the low motivation to work on public holidays in the Philippines a common issue?

The male waiter’s service was rather indifferent—he didn’t smile even once throughout the entire meal. What surprised me even more was that just three seconds after I finished my pasta and looked up, he immediately asked, “May I clear this?” It was only 4 PM, so I assume it wasn’t close to closing time. If that’s not the case, could you please update the business hours on Google Maps?

His behavior was so discourteous that I was left speechless. I wonder if I might have had a more comfortable experience had I been seated on the second floor instead.

The food was delicious, which makes the experience all the more...
