Unfortunately most reviews for this restaurant is typical foreigners visiting a place without the actual knowledge of local cuisine standards and the value of local products. My friend asked me to go purely from the review but after reading some of the most current reviews and then experiencing this place myself, I'm very disappointed, but I don't know if I should be disappointed at the restaurant or the reviewers. Firstly, the food is not amazing and definitely not worth its price, if some of the reviewers ventured even just outside the Intramuros, they would know the price here is vastly overpriced. I wasn't hungry after looking at the menu and my friend wanted chips so I tentatively order the fried chicken (should have went KFC instead). The pineapple juice I ordered was from a can (NOT fresh in Phillipines!?!) And the special halo-halo was very underwhelming. And don't get me started on the slowness of service, my juice took 10mins to arrive and they weren't even busy. Just this 3 costed me a cool 500p. For the visitor who converts to dollars etc and think it's cheap, well in a floating seafood restaurant in Palawan (which is a tourist location), my very filling seafood dinner for 2 plus drinks was only 1000p.Therefore, moral of the story, don't trust everything you see on website. Always ask locals for direction, or just go where all the locals go, even in malls some restaurants are amazing.The only upside is the atmosphere and decoration is decent, hence the very borderline 3 star.

We went to San Agustin Church to attend the ceremony and before even going there, I searched in website a good place to eat after and this one came up with a high rating. I went ahead and tried it and I was not disappiointed at all. We ordered Laing, Bicol Express, Crispy pata, Seafood Kare-Kare, Chicken with fries, Blueberry cheesecake and brewed coffee. I loved all of it! The Bicol Express was a bit salty but it had the right amount of spiciness that I liked. The coffee was very good so I could not resist to ask where their coffee came from. The ambiance fit the location — nostalgic. Wooden tables, old pictures on the walls, etc. Waiting time for the food was acceptable. Friendly staff, too. I am really satisfied with my experience here and will definitely go back.

(2.5/5) Great concept behind the restaurant, the aesthetic was pulled off really well my friend actually had chills from the utter holiness (read: wackiness) of the place.The food though, was another story. Twas another stale story, ladies and gentlemen. Had this three pasta dish with pomodoro, pesto and carbonara pastas. The pomodoro was ok, the tomatoes weren't overpowering, but the other two I had to squeeze my taste buds just to taste anything. Especially the pesto!! I liked the one in big oli better. The serving sizes also suffer a lot for this place.I hope it was just a bad day for them.
