This review is for our Holy Thursday visit. We couldn’t count how many times we visited the lobby as we always enjoyed the food. The service had always been good and the food great so we kept coming back. Our Holy Thursday visit however was different. The servers are not minding us even as I repeatedly tried to call their attention by visiting their counter. It took a while before a newly arrived senior member of their staff took our orders. One server also mistakenly placed another table’s order of pancit in our table, turned his back and took back the food (I managed to get a tiny bit of shrimp as I thought the food was ours), he then served the food to the right table even though I’ve already touched the food. I complained to the manager and she found out who the server is and made him apologize to me. The other table though, were unaware had food that I previously touched. Oh well... not my problem.I will come back on a non-holiday. Their pancit is still delicious.

The lobby of the Peninsula Makati has a really amazing ambiance. As soon as you enter you feel like being in another world, because everything is absolutely luxury. Of course the prices are luxury too. A burger costs about 1000 Pesos and for this price the used ground meat was not good enough. Furthermore the fries could have been a bit more but the mayonnaise was really yummy! In another setting I would not come back for the food at such a high price but the feeling there is so wonderful that I like it.

Halo-Halo.BIG serving. Meant to be shared. Really good, probably the best halo-halo in Manila? Surely better than that of MilkyWay Cafe, but crazy expensive; like 3x more expensive than an above average one you can get in a decent stand-alone restaurant. Well to be fair, it is from a 5-star hotel, so you're also paying for the ambience.
