Ridiculously overrated.

1. Service is excellent and goes beyond than expected. They offer drinks and iced tea for those queueing for a table, too.

2. While interiors are nice, acoustics are terrible! It was super noisy that it takes an effort to have a decent audible conversation over a meal. Waiting area is dirty though. They don’t regularly clean up the mess or at least the other guests don’t bother about CLAYGO.

3. No parking!!!! You either park on the street or pay a ridiculous fee of P60 at a parking space, a few doors away! What kind of restaurant has no parking?? So this may not be EASILY accessible for PWDs & Seniors or at least there will be some difficulty in accessing the restaurant since cars are parked in front of the resto. If you park at their neighbor, walking on the street also doesn’t feel safe bec there’s no sidewalk. You’re literally walking on the gutter of the street.

4. Food is definitely overrated. Servings are just relatively bigger than other restos. Taste wise, it isn’t even that oh-so-good!

5. Not worth it for 2 diners. We ordered:

• Summer Salad - read from reviews that it was good, but it was a complete disappointment. They use a vinaigrette dressing then they also used sour mango bits and sour strawberries. It was a sour mess!
• Truffle Pasta - again, a lot of people recommended this. Truffle smelled good, but not enough truffle was used and was not seasoned well. Take note, they used penne for this which greatly subdues the overall truffle cream sauce. They should’ve used spaghetti/spaghettini/angel’s hair instead.
• Calamari - also recommend, and it was just meh. Marinara sauce doesn’t complement the calamari tbh. The white sauce was just ok. The calamari was laid on a bed of nachos with cheese drizzle, too. So, you could say they somehow used a filler.
• Ube Latte - the menu only shows 1 option which is iced, but i was asked if I wanted it iced or hot?? So weird. Anyways, this was good. Only problem is they used the wrong length of straw. The straw would only leave an inch for you to stir the latte and the bendy part is even submerged into the drink. Total Bill was 2K+ for 2 diners and the 3 dishes + 1 drink.

6. Take note that this is a fusion restaurant. Not a purely Filipino restaurant. Saw some review here claiming they were balikbayans and loved the Filipino food here. I’d rather bring a balikbayan elsewhere tbh.

Overall, it’s a restaurant I wouldn’t come back to nor will I bring a guest to this restaurant.

On a lighter note, maybe I’m just not the target market of this restaurant. Maybe this is meant for big groups who don’t really care about food taste & quality or for those who only wanna eat here for the gram.
