01.24.2018So for my girlfriend and I’s first monthsary for the year of 2018, I decided to bring her to this fairly new restaurant at Eastwood. I’ve been seeing it here on website for quite a while then and it’s been having good ratings and reviews. I also checked out the pictures of the place and it wasn’t bad at all! PARKING This restaurant is located under a condominium in the vicinity of Eastwood. So if ever you’re planning to dine here, you can just opt to park in the mall and walk your way. You’ll just cross, no problem there. AMBIANCE (5/5)We absolutely loved the place! From the outside, you wouldn’t expect it to be that homey and even romantic! It was very relaxing especially with their yellow lights. Their furnitures were comfortable and the mixture of the colors of the area was just perfect. Tables were well spaced from each other and the atmosphere and temperature was just right. It wasn’t noisy as well! By then again there weren’t a lot of customers when we dined here. Everyone looked decent and relaxed. Place wise, I made no mistake choosing this one. Haha!SERVICE (5/5)The waiter who served us was very friendly! He answered all our questions, gave us suggestions and recommendations, and entertained all our queries and orders throughout the night. Willingly took a photo of me and my girlfriend and was very polite. FOOD (4/5)The menu posted here is outdated. They have a more comprehensive menu in the restaurant since you wouldn’t find our orders in the menu that website has provided. You can check out their page at Facebook for the more updated one. Me girlfriend and I ordered just 2 dishes. The first one we shared was the Calamares Salad (P250) and the the next was the Paella Negra (P450). To be honest, being a meat kind of guy, I wasn’t really expecting much from the salad but rather, I was looking forward to the Paella to satisfy my hunger. But to my surprise, it was the salad that actually got me going. Their serving for the salad was big! Not because the plate was big but the contents were filled! That plate could be consumed by 2-3 people. It tasted good too! Fresh vegetables and crunchy calamares mixed with their sauce was what I felt in my taste glands. Hahaha! The paella on the other hand was just so and so. The serving wasn’t as big as well. I think 1 person can devour it especially if he/she was hungry. But since we share our meals, the paella was just enough. It tasted great though! But it was only at par with the other restaurants. We also go ourselves a glass of red whine (P190) for me and white wine for her (P190) just to go with our celebration of the night. Serving time for the food was on time and I’d say the value for money way alright. THE VERDICT (4.5/5)I’d have to say I was more than pleased with everything that we experienced today. The setting was perfect, the food awesome, and the night was cooperating with it all. I’d recommend this restaurant for dates with your special someone or Tita night outs! I heard they have amazing churros but unfortunately we were too full to have dessert. Will come back for more! Hope you guys will like it here too! Cheers! :)

(4.5/5)I'm glad I'm introduced go this place early on! It's the real deal! Granted the food is pricey, (and for some of my colleagues the food took such a long time, maybe avoid the Daing Na Bangus), but it was foodgasm, the moment I bit into my Lechon Lasagna. I love how even though the flavor was really strong, there was barely any suya factor for me. You'll wolf down the whole thing! Not to mention the ambiance was really homey and antique meets modern.Definitey will come back again!!

Canitas Cubano is my favorite item on the menu. The perfectly toasted bread that's thick enough, the dressing that is just enough to tie everything together without soaking everything up, and the tender and juicy beef cooked medium rare to medium well...oooh perfection! It's even better than other restaurants that offer angus beef or so they say.The most tender and unpretentious restaurant tapa I've had by far is cafe enye's tapa plate.Will update this review soon.
