XO 46 Heritage Bistro — Restaurant in Pasig

Ambience We were able to secure a private area so it waa quiet enough. Airconitioning was too cold, most of us were freezing. We had asked for it to be sorted, but to no avail. They had a greqt table setting and a wonderfully decorated room.

Service Our main attendant was nice, she even helped pack most of the food, took some photos for us. There was this, other guy who. Paraded his RBF in front of us. When we would ask for help with something they it would take effort to. Get help. The food however was. Prepared and served late. For our big group we reserved seats very early, but they still managed to serve food 30mins after. Service charge was at 3,000 for our group. It was hardly fair.

Kare Kare - Meat was tender, the dish had equal. Servings of vegies and meat. It wasn't delicous though, it tasted flat. You couldn't taste the peanuts in the peanut sauce. The accompanying bagoong was not salty enough, but it was a little bit sweet, and that made it bearable. 3 out of 5 stars. Mag giling kayo bigas and lagyan nyo more ground peanuts and skippy para sumarap.

Bangus salpicado - This was okay, we found the seasoning just right, tasted a bit too fishy, 3.5 out of 5 stars.

Sisig - Was delicous in its own way, but its consistency kind of made it feel like it was recycled. Bagnet. 4 out of 5 stars.

Note to restaurant

Its great you have the all filipino vibe going to lift the customer experience, but it would help if service crews would check from time to time if customers needed anything.

The laing, kare kare, and bangus dishes should be improved along with the shrimp paste. Yun laing was dissappointing and it made my stomach hurt too.

If food is expensive, it should...

Yesterday was supposedly a happy celebration, we had prior reservation, seated right away but the biggest mishap is that the food was not served in the time requested.

Arrived by 11am, and ordered in advance, and the 12pm was the agreed to be served, and it was done more later. The food arrived one by one and the thing before the mains arrived the people are already no appetite or just full from other food.

Mind you we are a big group that is why we plan ahead.

We have many senior citizen in the group and children waiting.

And the thing is that the latter group was served earlier than our group.

We paid in full, but we are served like an afterthought.

Very far from the previous services they had, the warm welcome and everything the experience we had. Our family celebrated alot in this place but totally disappointed in...

Had our lunch with my mother here. Service was very slow. They did not give us the menu, I had to get it myself. Had a hard time calling them to give our order. Sinundo ko pa sa counter just to get our order. Asked for an extra teaspoon and the waiter never came back. Asked for our bill and it took 10 minutes for them to get the bill. Again , I had to go to the counter pa kasi nga hindi naman sila dumadating.

Food isnt that great as well. We ordered laing, inihaw na manok and laing. Nothing stood out. Many other restaurants in estancia with food that tastes better.

In short, not recommended. Mahal lang, pero poor service na nga,...
