VU's Sky Bar and Lounge — Restaurant in Pasig

Located on the roof top of the Marco Polo building in Ortigas, the bar has a lovely view, and thus it's name.

There are 2 areas, an indoor and outdoor, the former having a live band, and the later a DJ. The place is dimly lit with a lot of lights of various colors illuminating the palce in color hues.

It was quite busy for a Thursday night, and the ambiance was lively. The palce seemed more popular with an age group of 30s and upwards; which makes sense given the premium pricing. Undoubtedly the place is upscale, with some expat crowd and established business professionals.

Service was a mixed bag. The hostess got us seated and promptly had someone over to take our orders. But subsequent table service, water requests and such were slow. Likely owing to limited service staff. Our order the Harvey Wallbanger cocktail pitcher took quite some time to be served.

The food was excellent, the truffle cream mushroom pizza being juicy and very tasty. The gratinated potato wedges were...

Nice place but someone really needs to clean up the window glass separating the outdoor bar from the view. Amazing view point but a little wasted when it's all a bit blurred, and no excuse for missing details like that in such a classy venue. Food smelled amazing. The wines available by the glass just weren't very good. Also, I went there to smoke shisha - was told ahead of time that it was a bit pricey at 700 pesos, but figured it was worth the ambiance and was told it was quality shisha. Imagine my surprise when I'm told it's gone up to 1499. C'mon, that's a bit overkill - are paying enough for the drinks already. I get it, though - probably just a better business move for a small outdoor bar like that to phase out the smoke and save seats for strictly drinkers. In any case, I declined and probably will just catch a cab elsewhere for my shisha nights. I will say that all the staff seemed very well trained and were more than accommodating. Music also...

The view from this bar is fantastic. The food is also delicious. But I was deeply disappointed with the attitude of the staff. I ordered a bottle of Jameson, several cans of coke and two side dishes. It's normal for about PHP7,000 to be charged, but somehow it's PHP14,000, I don't know whether it was intentional or not. My party and I didn't get the right apology. The employee even said, "Let's just pay for two bottles and leave one bottle behind." Jameson is less than 1,500 pesos at the convenience store. I don't know what kind of sophistry it is to buy the whiskey at a hotel bar for 4,000 pesos. Even with the exception of a bottle of Jameson, the employee had a miscalculation. I am deeply...
