Problem #1 Most of the food was good, however, because of the volume of customers, the best dishes ran out early and seemed like were never replenished. The next best dishes would go next and took forever to be replaced. And i am not talking about 1 or 2 dishes, i am talking about 75% of their offerings were always empty or almost empty an hour into the lunch period. And when the dishes were replenished, the servers were very sloppy with everything. Nothing was being tidied up as the lunch went on.
Problem #2 Organization, safety and food placement. So we rented one of their rooms in the back for a party. In doing so, our party, as well as the other parties in the back which probably outnumbered the main hall guests, had to travel through a bottleneck. This bottleneck was created because on one side was the main dishes and they decided to put the halo-halo station across from it. This left only a 12in sliver of space to travel to and from the rear of the restaurant. Dozens of people at a time were trying to go forward and back through this area. I initially told our server in the room and a waiter that was going back and forth. They were aware of the problem and said "ganun talaga kapag busy" and "mamaya, sir, luluwag na." Immediately, I realized they were no help and of the typical "pwede na" mindset. So I asked to talk to a manager. I took him to the area and showed him that the halo-halo stationed was in the worst possible location. I even gave them a better place to put it given it was not a permanent fixture that it could easily be moved. I also informed him that it was a fire hazzard. Dozens would be trampled if a stampede were to occur. All he said was they would consider it. In my opinion, there was nothing to consider. It was pure idiocy that they placed the halo-halo station there. Another safety concern was the floor. The entire rear of the restaurant and especially sloping pathway to the rooms were very very slippery. I, myself, almost slipped several times- and I am an athletic male with proper footwear, not a "lampa" with slippers. I fear it is only when a tragedy occurs that their management will take any action.
For the price, experiencd and food quality you are better off going to Bale Kapampangan.

   Read moreThis place used to be "Capampangan Island", but it's "Lorenza" now.
The food here is great, as one would expect from a Kapampangan buffet restaurant, and the price point is reasonable, too. I especially like their Tinolang Tahong, which is kind of a mainstay in their food selection everyday. Other must try dishes are the beef kaldereta, the lechĂłn kawali, and the sisig.
They give you a stub for a serving of ice cream and lechon too. Service is also excellent, but the atmosphere can be a bit noisy for some, since most of the customers here are large...
