DO NO ORDER WHITE WINE. Food was okay. We were starving so we finished all. However, we expected more for the price paid. We tried several restaurants in different islands with lower price and we liked them much more. Ambience was very nice, traditional and fun with dancing on the site. Please owner, REMOVE white wine from the list if you cannot take care of the bottles because it is horrible and ruined all the experience. First we ordered “two oceans” and the color of the wine was middle orange, once tried it was itchy in the mouth and very bad taste so we explained to the waiter that we were sorry but we could not drink it. She came back saying she would be charged for the bottle which was very expensive and we asked to talk to a manager but wasn’t there. A responsible person came and we explained about the wine and showed a picture of the bottle which is supposed to be clear white wine not dark yellow which means it was too old or was left under the sun. She said other customers complained about and then offered to order an other white one and we ordered Australian “yellow tail” and once she came back with the bottle and the other waiter, she threatened us saying “this is your last choice, even if you don’t like you must pay it so are you aware that this is your last choice”? I was kind of shocked of how can somebody be so impolite after serving something which was expired/bad and I was ready to leave the restaurant but my partner wanted to order that bottle as he is stubborn and wanted to give an other chance. Second bottle was dark glass outside so it was not possible to see the real color of the one. Once poured and tried it was also bad and dark yellow but drinkable (in our country they would not have served it at all and we would have returned it without hesitating) and we managed to drink half of it to let the food go down as flavor was so so. Following day worst headache ever…. When waiter came to ask how was it we said “bad but we are just going to pay it no worries”. Of course no discount was made and bottle was 2000 pesos (it’s a cheap wine in Australia) plus all food and service charges and taxes. I know Philippines is not a country of wine but if you have wine in a restaurant of such prices please serve the good ones or remove from the list. I wouldn’t have complained in a beach restaurant of 5€ but this was a joke. I usually don’t do bad reviews but after the treatment we received I need to share with...
