Mang Jose lechon at inasal — Restaurant in Tagaytay

2nd time to eat here. Our 1st experience was exceptional. Both food and service are great. Maybe it was because the owner was there. Our 2nd visit was really bad. Food is still okay, but their beef pares serving is really small. It only had 9 chunks and it is served on a small soup bowl. The unli rice (+10 pesos) is not worth it for the pares' serving. When we got there, the crews did not gave us the menu automatically and we had to call out their attention. After we ordered our food, the crews prioritizes cleaning the tables instead of serving us the utensils and condiments, but props to them for serving us service water. The whole place only uses 1 aircon and the windows are open, you'll be lucky if one of the electric fans will be for you.

As for the price, it is expensive. Average meal costs about 300-350 pesos, exclusive of the 10% service charge. Lots of parking though, can fit maybe...

This place is a spacious restaurant with a bar-like vibe for live music bands at NIGHT. So visiting it during the Day is totally a different experience. Dark and Spacious interiors which seems a bit gloomy during the day. The price points are quite high compared to the serving size and it is to be expected from concepts like this. The main charm and interest of this place is dependent on the star strucked customers of the band looking for a bit of the music magic. Merchandising counter is a testament to that. Dining experience on the otherhand might differ after that initial thrill is gone. Having said that the food is ok but the portioning is just too little. The service needs improvement although some of the servers are friendly, some seems to be way too busy with some other things and their attention is obviously elsewhere. Like I said, It might be different at night but for now... it...

With respect to some of the good ssrvice crew. Some are really up to costumer service. The rest are just waiting for day to end.

Overall the service complements the food. But with respect to price I can say, its pricy. Maybe my taste buds was affected by my experience.

Another experience is, we we are insisting to have a more comfortable seat because we have a toddler, but the lady ignore us, maybe because we are kust only three. But after around 20 mins. A set of customer with a toddler also was sat on the table area we are requesting.

So, i will not recommend this place to family meals andif you want to stay happy for the day.

Off...
