Tried Terrace 45 last night with a couple of friends. Great ambience - perfect for intimate dinners or long conversations with friends. The interior has a very warm, homey feel to it - all light colors, minimalist design. Makes you want to pull out a sofa and just live there. Service is quite good too - they served our food real quick. You get your money's worth for the food. I'd recommend their Grilled Salmon, Lengua and Chips, and Slow-cooked Beef for main dish. The meat (for all three) were soft and well-flavored. For appetizer, get their Chicken Pitacos. Altho, I think they can still improve the yoghurt on the Pitacos (recommend they use classic Greek Tzatziki). Not impressed with their Cheese Croquetas and Grilled Pork Chops. The croquetas were not as cheesy as I expected them to be (as I expect ANY cheese croquetas to be) while the Grilled Pork Cop was really just so-so. Not to mention the 'dirty rice' that came with it was greasy as heck (they weren't kidding when they called it 'dirty').Great for: reunion dinners (great for friends, but not loud[fun]friends), dates (actual dates where you try to get to know a person, not when you plan to take her/him home)

Thursdays are sacred for I spend my lunch (and coffee after) with my dear dad. No reason but my mom normally stays home to enjoy her me-time even for a few precious hours.Dad is more adventurous (and open) than mommy. That's why with dad, I can take him to new places, new restaurants to try and not be bothered by bitchy remarks after (of course, I didn't say my mom is capable of bitchiness... you, my dear readers, just implied it).It was a good call to take daddy for a "#DadDate" to Terrace 45. Maaliwalas (sorry, no apt English word for it) ang lugar. Giving very positive vibes. Decors are minimal and somber. Even the servers are subdued never the annoyingly too-happy type (and for we know are all put-on) ever eager to please.Dad and I started with the Homemade Potato Chips with Aoli. My dad finished the whole order (need I say more?). Next, the Beef Salpicao and the Fried Chicken Sandwich. The Salpicao was oh-so tender and seasoned just right. And the Chicken? Well, it was too-much-of-a-challenge to eat because you need to open real wide to have a decent bite or else the chicken fillet would just slide away and ruin what might be your best shirt or worse, blacken your immaculate reputation. May I suggest that you pound it a bit (escalope)? But of course, nowadays, restaurant owners need to take in for consideration two very, very important things: one, taste and two, Instagram. Mali ako o mali ako?Anyway, I will bring friends over that's for sure. As for mommy? I will also take her here. I'm sure that she'll leave Terrace 45 satisfied, happy and yes, quiet.
