I don't eat squid, not even calamares, but when my family encouraged me to try the sotanghon in squid ink, I was really surprised - it was delicious and felt refreshing! Their food is amazing, and this restaurant is so underrated. I think I've found my new favorite spot!
For my siblings' birthday, we wanted to get them a cake, but the only whole cake available was the sans rival. So, we decided to order a serving of the banana volcano just to have a little something for them to celebrate their birthday. We already had cake during lunch anyway.
I asked them to put a candle on it so my siblings could blow it out. When our order arrived, it was brought to us by a male staff member who casually passed it to us.
Thankfully, the female staff member made the moment special. She took the cake, turned around, and seemed to hide it while speaking with her colleagues. It looked like she wanted to sing to my siblings even though we only had a small dessert, and she got her colleagues to join in, so they sang for them. That was incredibly kind of her.
Sheâs a gem at Lorenzo's Way BGC, and I really want to commend her. Before we left, I spoke to her to express my gratitude. Sheâs the kind of staff every restaurant needs - someone who brings passion to their work, not just doing a job for the sake of it.
Again, to the lovely lady staff member (Iâm so sorry I didnât catch your name),...
   Read moreBeen dining here for at least four years now. The ambiance of this restaurant is good. It's not crowded given the fact that there are a lot of people in Bonifacio High Street all the time. With that being said, the resto is quiet compared to most restaurants in the area.
The cocktails are good - I specifically love their Mojito.
I would've rated this four stars, but the quality of their food seemed lower these days - Specifically their Sugpo sa Aligue. I've been ordering this dish since day one, and the quality noticeably dropped a couple of notches - taste and presentation. The overall quality of their food also seemed to have dropped. I'm not sure what's going on with this company, but I do hope their quality doesn't drop to the Level of their sister company/restaurant AbĂŠ.
If you're trying out this restaurant for the first time, try their Spanish Garlic Chicken.
For the price, if you ask me 1-3 years ago, I'd say it's worth the price. But now, it's not. It's been a while since I spent a few thousand pesos for a meal and end up leaving...
   Read moreVery rude male staff. We (group of 3) asked nicely if we can order drinks and be seated al fresco since there was an outdoor event next to the restaurant that we wanted to be able to see. Staff told us in a very condescending way that we âcanât just order drinks and sit aroundâ (âtumambayâ) and that we âshould think of the business, tooâ. (We actually had no intention to âsit aroundâ for long since the event was ending in 30 minutes, and they only had a few customers at that time â only one table out of the 10+ was occupied in the al fresco area.) Was also told they had a minimum 3,000Php order. How true? Even if they had this policy, we would have understood and maybe ordered worth the amount if not for their staffâs attitude. We asked nicely before even sitting down, so I donât understand why he needed to be rude. Hope management trains...
