Summit Cafe — Restaurant in Tagaytay

This is the main restaurant inside Summit Ridge to cater to their checked in guests. Just outside you will find other restaurants like bag of beans, Mary Grace and and Shakey's just to name a few. Point is they've got serious competition so I'm interested to know how they keep up on a daily basis.

Served with a mix of vegetables like corn on the cob, cabbage, and green beans. Of course, 2 servings of rice please.

We arrived while they are doing the renovations for their cafe. We were able to dine at their hotel dining hall. We ordered their iced chocolate, iced mocha, tapa, penne pesto pasta, and chili beef dip. The food was mid, nothing special to note. Their coffee was bad but their service was a little okay. Diners must note that they do not accept card payments and we had to go out to withdraw cash at the nearby Robinson's mall to pay them. I wish they brought this up beforehand. The smell of the tables was also off-putting as it still...
