Ambiance is okayStaffs are polite but not accommodating (really)Food is not really impacting because of the serving size. - Ribs : We ordered 1/4 Slab, I asked if it's for sharing and they told me it's for 2-3 persons. When the ribs arrived I was pleased because it's very long and it looks chunky. When we're about to dig in, I was very very very disappointed. The taste is okay but the value for money? I don't know if I'm paying for the rib bones or the meat kasi mas malaki pa yung buto kesa sa meat na nakain ko. Given that it should have bones because it's ribs, but out of all the BBQ ribs that I tasted, this one didn't really met my expectations at all considering na other ribs that I tasted are in the range of 200-300 and this one is P270. Isang buto lang ang merong madame na meat. The rest of the 3 pieces are 90% bone 10% meat. - Sisig : it was P200 pesos. Again, not worth the money. Didn't got the chance to take a picture of it.All in all, I'm not gonna come back here again. I was not satisfied and I'm very disappointed. I'm sorry for this review but I hope they could improve more given that they have 4.0 rating here in website.

First of all, shoutout to website that the menu posted here is not updated. The all-day breakfast menu is now just available in the morning. Plus changes in the dessert selections and other menu items.We ordered Salted Egg Chicken Lollipops (P220) and Pesto Pasta with Shrimp (P250). In the menu, the chicken looked like 3 puny lollipops but what actually came to our table are 4 large chicken wings. Needless to say we were pleasantly surprised, but for those watching their calories or not used to eating wings (🙋), this may be an issue.I requested that the pesto be made with less oil, but it still came with a small puddle. To be fair, it's probably the ideal amount but I'm just not a fan of oil-based pasta. "Why order it then?", you may ask. Well, I originally ordered the Nutella Cheesecake but it's not available, then the Chori Burger Boracay Style which is also not available. Then I ordered Seafood Pasta (tomato based), but they cannot switch the squid to shrimps (it's portion controlled, the waitress apologetically explained). At the very least, the serving size is worth the price tag and every forkful comes with shrimp bits.The place was eye-catching. I adored the inspirational artsy/nautical theme going on. Insta peeps, this is a treasure trove for you. Plus, the place is accessible with jeeps and FX (SSS Village - Cubao route) passing by directly.The service crew were kinda preoccupied with a small children's party but their manager (?) was quick to attend to the customers, not only ordering people around but bussing tables herself. Kudos madam! 👍Best for: Titas of Manila meetups. The price is a bit steep for students and the menu is not very child-friendly.Food: 3/5Place: 4/5Service: 3/5Value for money: 4/5Overall: 3.5/5

My first time exploring the Lilac st. here in Marikina. This is a chill and cozy place to hang out with friends and family. The food is delish as well.
