Food - 4.0/5Had their Spanish buffet last night (8/7/16)... food was a niche above good but still can be great, highlights were the Paella Negra, Roast Beef and Pork Salpicao...  I guess, i felt that the taste profile were somewhat similar, (read: all garlic infused like Sopa de ajo, garlic chicken, pork salpicao), so i guess if you included tomato based dish or a veggie dish then it would have been a tad better.  Drink suggestions: diversify your drinks menu, just canned sodas will not cut it... if for convenience, you would be a stickler for canned drinks then go the nearest S&R and diversify (think Cherry Coke, Peach Seltzers, Ginger Ale, etc)Ambience - 3.5/5Also, your music playlist is HORRIBLE... eating Spanish food while listening to Pusong Bato isn't a swell combination... and i was seated at the table nearest the door and i thought it was locked from the inside, lo and behold, someone wrongly exited through that door and it opened wide... my phone was lying on the table the whole time beside an open door which i know nothing about... that is quite dangerous.Service - 3.5/5Service can be improved as well. The small buffet table needs to be filled much quicker and when asking for water and/or the limited drinks menu, it was hard to call the attention of the servers (there were 3 last night). Overall - 4.0/5For P350 per person, although the food selection is limited (2 paellas, 2 viands - pork salpicao and garlic chicken, 1 roast beef, 1 pasta, 1 appetizer, 1 soup, 1 dessert), the food is delicious. The roast beef is outstanding. If you're easily overwhelmed by a lot of food then this is the resto for you... Call for reservations though... limited tables available.

A quaint venue that accommodates a few small groups of diners at a time, this restaurant makes you feel like you hired the services of a caterer in your home. Servers are at the ready, and the buffet areas were constantly refilled. The menu is supposedly themed Spanish, but the dishes were bland and needed some character. The Paella Negra and Seafood Paella looked appetizing but tasted insipid and were dry. The Pork Salpicao and Garlic Chicken similarly lacked flavor. The Garlic Soup and Sardines Aglio Olio Pasta were okay. What I did enjoy was the Beef Roast, Salmon Croquettes, and Creme Catalan. I couldn't taste the salmon in the croquettes, but I found the texture and size of the potato balls just right, with the aioli adding the right tang. The beef roast is by far the best I've had - it was tender and palatable, far from what I usually get elsewhere where beef roasts are chewy, dry, and tasteless unless submerged in sauce. The dessert was simple, thick, and creamy. I went back for seconds.
