Lorenzo's Way — Restaurant in Makati

Went with a group of 7 shortly before closing. We were seated, and when ordering, we were told we needed to order everything at once, including desert.

My main dish was the coco Loco prawns, a fairly pricy dish for just 3 jumbo prawns. They were overcooked, very tough, and chewy. The sauce was supposed to have lemongrass, but I didn't see any. Instead, there was a large pepper. The sauce was just like a plain cream sauce, pretty bland and unfortunately couldn't make up for the overcooked prawns. If the sauce had been really delicious it could definitely have made up for the other issues. I wouldn't mind the prawns being Chewy if they had some really nice flavor...Very unimpressed.

Another dish at our table was so undercooked that it needed to be sent back.

Saw many good reviews and invited a foreign guest expecting a nice experience—ended up embarrassed by both the food and the service. Most of the good comments seem to be over a year old; maybe the team has changed since.

Not worth the price. I don’t recommend this place. I am very embarrassed by inviting...

One of the restos under the LGC Group, this one does not disappoint. We had light supper when we were there but it was enough for my visit to be one memorable one. I would go back in a heartbeat. The food is reengineered Pinoy staple made even more appetizing by their presentation. We had fresh lumpia that were served in two's, crispy baby squid and callos plus adobo pigeon con ojo. We paired these with rice in bamboo that made us forget our diet. I love the Filipino ambience of the place and yes, service is great. The waiters were attentive and knowledgeable of the dishes that they were suggesting to us. Highly recommended to those with...
