Years ago, Leslie’s used to be the upstart that displaced oldies-but-goodies like RSM and Diner’s Bulalo for their bulalo soup.They expanded dramatically, and quality sort of fell after that, but the food’s still okay.Their branch at the Skyranch Park has a great vantage point of the amusement park, so it’s nice to sit outside, rain or sunshine permitting.We ordered bulalo, calamares, tuna sisig, and pakbet for six people.The bulalo was just okay, but the tendon muscle cut - classic to the dish - is consistent with how it’s usually served, which is to say, tender enough.The pakbet vegetables were all undercooked - too crispy, the ampalaya still a bit too bitter.The tuna sisig was okay as well - with a creamy sauce coating, and not as much of the crispy, oniony bits one hopes to have.The rice was of inferior quality - greyish, not white - not acceptable for a restaurant like theirs.Service was polite and caring, which always matters. I wish they’d do a better job of wiping their glass tables.

Sorry but for me this resto is a major fail! 👎🏼 just because Sky Ranch is here, i have my niece & nephews with me with my grown up kids, I felt so embarrassed that I brought them here... 🙈🙊 ambience is so bad! Their music is like we're in grunge room! So so noisy! Not the people but the quality of their sound system! We even requested to be transferred to outside dining area. Which is more relaxing & more quiet. So we were just watching the ferris wheels & caterpillar ride. Now let's move on to the menu. Because you're in Tagaytay, in a cool place, best time to have Bulalo! And so we did order it to be shared by 10 people, just ok! Ordinary Bulalo Soup good thing the meat is so tender! ! We also got pinaputok na tilapia which tastes so bad like you're eating lumot! We got inihaw na pusit which is worse because it was uncooked with foul smell (see photo). We ordered chopseuy for our veggie meal and whole fried chicken for kids! Believe me! We ended up just eating the fried chicken shared by 10 people, the Bulalo & that's it! Worst is that, we made a complaint to the waiter he said that it's the way it was being cooked?! There was a complaint also which we returned due to the foul smell of the meat of that inihaw na liempo! And because of that, I told them to call the manager which the waiter said is not there anymore! But when we got out of the resto I saw him, I wanted to talk to him but I told myself, never mind, i'll just make this review so the management & people would know how nasty the food, people and this place is! Will not return to this restaurant anymore!
