I must admit that I haven’t eaten in any Torch branches except for that particular day, many years back, when the service accorded us was really beyond bad.And now, I’m back. If before I left the UPTC branch an annoyed (and yes, exasperated) customer, now I can say, a satisfied diner. Impressed, I may add.I’m not sure if they have the same menu but our website friends and I were served a quite admirable list of food: Smoked Baby Back Ribs, Fried Chicken, Salmon Poke Bowl and Cream Cheese Salmon Roll.As per my list of favorites, you can deduce that I’m a big fan of salmon, in any form. Good thing that Torch’s version of the Poke and the Roll were excellent. The fish was fresh and the presentation, simply inviting. Another dish that caught my attention was the Smoke Baby Back Ribs. It was fall-off-the-bone tender and the marinade and basting sauces used were simply divine.Divine, also, was the juicy and crispy Fried Chicken. As they say… “just like how my mommy makes it.”The Steak Panizza was a pleasant surprise and that also goes for the Margherita Pizza. One thing though, crust of both were pasty (especially, the pizza). I wanted the crust to be crunchier. However, there was one dish that wasn’t able to pass the websites’ (including me) taste buds: the Angus Tenderloin Salpicao Medallion. The presentation was appetizing but it was a tad leathery. And bland.Generally, my reunion with Torch was pleasurable. Recommended.

Booked a table via website and they did not disappoint! Was given a very good spot and staff were very friendly and nice. Ordered tenderloin and tomahawk steak with glasses of wine. After dining, we were given a small bottle of wine as a freebie (not sure if part of a promo). But enjoyed definitely!

LOCATIONMolito parking is a bit difficult during peak hours, and we usually end up at the building where Mendokoro Ramenba is. At the restaurant, we got ourselves seats at the balcony for early dinner and the air was very cool and refreshing.FOOD & BEVERAGECream Cheese Salmon Roll and Torch Signature Roll were equally delicious with a nice mix of textures while the Prosciutto Arugula and White Truffle Sausage Pizzas were thin-crusted, tasty, and light. Reasonably-priced Red Iced Tea resembled fruit punch! Best dish was the U.S. Angus Tenderloin Salpicao Medallion in terms of presentation, scent, and taste. I'm grateful we got this order later on, and the mashed potatoes were typically delicious.SERVICEA big Thank You to the security guard downstairs for helping us out upon our arrival near the restaurant!
