My wife and I have been here twice and, on both occassions, we were treated by my sister-in-law. We have had Club Sandwiches in both instances. It's a huge sandwich filled with layers of veggies, cheese, ham, bacon and egg. It's not dry, unlike other similar sandwiches I've tried. The bacon that they use for it tastes really good -- smoky and honeycured. During the last time we went here, we've had Pancit Bihon. It's filled with shrimps, vegetables, squid balls and topped with big chunks of chicharon. This is one tasty and rich pancit bihon.The place itself boasts of grandeur and luxury, hence the price. The last time we were here, we were seated near the lounge singer so we got to enjoy great music. The ambiance is very relaxing with the soft lights. Service is good and fast.When dining here, save around P1,500 to P2,000 for two people. It's a perfect place for celebrating special occassions and milestones.FACEBOOK PAGE: facebook.com/untilnextweekend

Great food that comes at a price. Well, what do you expect from such high-end class and services? This is the place if you're looking for a classic and yet sophisticated ambiance paired with live performances and palatable dishes. A downside though is that they have limited waitresses to assist you, since I've only spotted two at most. Other tables had to wait and call them several times to be attended to. Needless to say, their food is just great! I loved their lobster pasta, that seems like risotto at first, and how flavorful it was. Their burgers are massive in size and would really stuff you to the brim. The kare-kare was good, but doesn't seem to project much of flavor. Although speaking of high-end, their cheesecake laced with edible gold was an experience I would never forget. Try to drop by around the afternoon till night to catch live performances to augment the savory dishes before you, if and when you decide to splurge.
