I went here with some girl friends and it was a pleasant experience. I suggest you book a reservation because it was packed even on a Thursday night! Staff were nice, the place had a maximalist design, and the food was tasty. We ordered 6 dishes in total– stuffed chili, herbed chicken salad, truffle pasta, pizza caprese, pan seared dory, and grilled pork chop. Stuffed chili - right amount of spiciness and cheese was still gooey even when it got cold. Great appetizer, and it’s cheap too! You get 6 long pieces. Herbed chicken salad - I highly recommend this! We got the solo to share between the three of us and it was enough to get our meal started. Their vinaigrette was really addicting, and it paired well with the grilled chicken. Absolutely loved the chicken!! They were generous with the serving. The croutons could have been fresher though, but it wasn’t enough for it to be a dealbreaker. Truffle pasta - We ordered the family serving for this one and it was a lot for three people. I must say, I was most disappointed with this one. I think it’s a bit overhyped. You can definitely taste the truffle oil, but the base sauce wasn’t anything special. It’s like your typical Filipino white sauce. I think the evaporated milk was a bit overpowering. Pizza caprese - the best pizza I’ve ever tasted! I especially loved my first bite into its cheesy goodness. The crust was also done just right! Not too thin, and not too thick. It’s divided into six slices. I could honestly finish a whole pizza if that was the only thing I ordered. I highly recommend it. Pan seared dory - it was good but honestly you could replicate it at home. We got garlic rice as our side but it was a bit too mushy for my liking. Grilled porkchops - at first look, it seemed dry but I was mistaken. It was still pleasantly juicy. They were also generous with their serving. It comes with a sauce, but it tasted more like ribs sauce. You’ll enjoy it if you like sweet dips! Long island cocktail - a bang for your buck. It’ll really hit you as soon as you take your first sip. Overall a great experience. It was one of my friends’ birthday and they gave a complementary ice cream for the celebrant. They usually give out cake but they were already out of it by then (understandably so, it was already 10pm by then). I’d rate this restaurant an 7.7/10. Would dine here again.

came here to catch up with friends, there was a wait but it wasnt super bad in my opinion. the set up has changed a lot from the pictures here and the ones in their social media, it's less decorated now. the vibe of the place is still nice though, well lit, it reminds me of a comfy inn almost. its easy to have conversations with people there so i enjoyed it. the food was also alright but our mashed potatoes actually came out rotten or something since it was very sour so we sent it back and had normal mashed potatoes after. the normal ones tasted good though. i dont have much pictures since there wasnt really much to take pictures of anymore. the outside seating is also not available anymore but you can take pictures of their sign still. out of everything i think what stood out the most was their service. i dont remember who exactly there were a few people that came to our table, one of them was anthony. but they were very attentive, even the people who werent our table's waiter were attentive to us. especially whoever the water guy was, they kept refilling our glasses even before we noticed they were empty (this is good btw). and the same water guy went up to our table and other tables to warn us about the loud noise that would happen a few minutes later because they were going to sing happy birthday loudly to the adjoining room. that mightve been the first time i had a restaurant let other customers know about upcoming noises for a happy birthday song, i thought that was very nice of them. our order: crusted chicken tortilla, truffle pasta, tenderloin steak, chicken marsala

It was a rainy afternoon in Quezon City and we were looking for a place to have light meals as we were still full from having late breakfast. Upon opening Zomato App, the Ad for this restaurant caught my attention. With limited time, I still managed to read reviews from people I'm following and after that, I said "Let's go!" to my partner. With few people dining that time, the parking lot was not packed so we were able to park in front of the restaurant. We had Seafood Paella, Cheese-Stuffed Chili, Squash Soup, Mushroom Soup, Cappucino and a pot of Chamomile. I love their Seafood Paella! It may have limited ingredients in it but it's really delicious. Just wondering why it has sausage. As stated it's good for 3-4 persons, so we took home the leftover. Cheese-Stuffed Chili was good too. The chili was long and of good quality. Better consume it while it's hot. Squash Soup and Mushroom Soup were delicious. My partner preferred Squash Soup than the other. I had opposite preference as I really love their mushroom soup! My first time to have this with real chopped mushrooms. The cappucino and the pot of Chamomile were not outstanding. Better choose others. Overall, it was a good experience. The staff were so accomodating and very attentive of our needs.

Been wanting to try this place even before the pandemic. But it's reputation was daunting, it evoked an image of a classy and expensive place. So I was waiting for a special occasion to visit it. We went here the day after Mother's Day. I ordered 4 of their best sellers. Only 1 was good, the Herbed Chicken salad. The Slow Cooked ribs wasn't. Look at the picture and see how it was plated. They just placed the unevenly sized ribs on the plate with no garnishings. The sauce tasted like the ones you get on the street. The paella was also not good. Serving size was for 3 but we didn't even finish half of it. Rice was too sticky, was thinking more like a risotto stickiness. And lastly, the Pan seared dory tasted ordinary and we saw it was undercooked after we ate half of it. We told the waiter and he took back the plate. We were expecting a new replacement but only got back the leftover. There wasn't even an apology extended. Overall, I was quite disappointed over the food quality for the money I shelled out. I noticed this place had quite a number of negative reviews only afterwards, and after my experience I can only surmise that management is not taking these bad reviews seriously, otherwise they would have made improvements already.

I've been looking forward to try this resto since I saw my previous Prof's post about it. Finally we got to dine in when we visited my brother in law's condo. After waiting for about 30 mins. we were able to get in. We ordered herb chicken salad, truffle pasta, grilled pork chop and fish and chips. Well, all of us loved the herb chicken salad because of its unique taste. My son who is not a fan of lettuce finally ate some of it. The pork chop tasted good as well. The fish and chips tasted ok for my kids. Finally the truffle pasta came in ( i heard a lot of good reviews about it so we ordered it as well). I can smell its distinct scent which is probably the truffle and I just realized that all of us are not a fan of truffle pasta 😂. The pasta is quite firm which my son didn't like as well. It was creamy though but maybe the truffle itself is what we don't really liked. Overall the dining experience was great especially because of the herb chicken salad. We'll probably be back again to try their paella since it also has good reviews and my 2 kids like paella as well.

SHORT VERDICT: Not good anymore. Small serving. LONG REVIEW: Truffle pasta is still the best, however smaller serving. I understand due to inflation. Paella negra was a disappointment. The rice doesn’t taste like a proper paella, it felt like they just mixed squid ink to it and called it paella. If they’re finding it hard to replace ingredients due to inflation, just remove it from the menu. The shrimp was so bland I feel like they just boiled the shrimps and made it a topping without even adding flavor to it. It’s just sad. Wagyu salpicao is small. But the wagyu was good. Plate is too big for the serving it was a waste of space tbh. Squash soup is okay. Margarita was a bit too strong. Mojito was refreshing. I’ve eaten here a lot of times precovid and it’s really sad how the quality isn’t as good as before anymore. My spoon had a hello kitty design on it… was I in a restaurant or someone’s home? I feel like it lost it’s charm already and people are still going to it because of its name and how instagrammable the extension area is.
