    I wasn't so impressed with the service. 1, they did not inform me onset that my order is not available, nor they came back to let me know 2, the waiters weren't helpful On The concern of my order, they kept passing it on the other waiter for 3 times. 3, the milkshakes weren't as good as its price. I must say the place's ambiance is nice and the background music. I love this sweet strawberry choco whip kinda thing. Overall not happy, but i saw they tried to be nice.

    Great spot with authentic Filipino street food dressed up on a plate, and the pizzas are better than average around here. For some reason everyone inside drink Smirnoff mules although they did not have any great specials for the drink when I went there. Regardless I recommend this place.

    Loved the food and the service was good. Prices are affordable too. The ventilation was good, even if we were smoking, the air wasn't suffocating or anything. And you can actually smoke here! Presentation of the food is nice. CR is clean, thank heavens.

    It was one of the best experience i had. The servers are so nice and reliant, the foods are worth the price, and the vibe is so chill.

    Would be back to try more of their food. The ambience is great, though we went there during lunch time. The service is great since the crew doesn't take too long to serve orders.

    The place is too small. The table that the waiter choose for me and my cousins are dirty and sticky and also has tiny space. Someone even left a face mask and the staff didn't even check it and they didn't even sanitize it per customer(s). Not too mention, that the place is under staffed, very limited options with food - most of the food in the menu are out of stock - and they didn't even bother to put the time of the breakfast menu is available or not. Won't go here anymore.

    Staff does not seem to want to serve us, we were sat at their 'veranda' and was calling out to wait staff multiple times, twice the wait staff was staring at us and the straight up ignored us that I had to go straight to the bar to ask for stuff. We also asked for ice but the barkeep told me they ran out (not blaming her but srsly?). There was also an altercation and an arrest out in front which was ironically the highlight of our visit 🤣

    I wouldn't recommend dining here during peak hours. I'm not sure what happened to their staff during the time we were there, but the staffs who served our table were a bit rude. The guy who handed us our drink seemed annoyed (he slammed the pitcher on the table, mixed our drink, and left without saying a word). Also, we had to wait for a long time for our drinks to arrive - note, this would have been understandable because it is peak hours, however, we only ordered one pitcher and the other table who arrived later than us ordered 3 pitchers but their order was served first (it wasn't just one table, other tables that arrived later than us were also served first). And also, when paying our bills we had to follow up because they didn't return our change and they did not look like they plan to do so

    The place is spacious and clean, and the waiter who attended to us was attentive and polite. Didn't wait too long for our orders to arrive. However, we couldn't taste a hint of alcohol on any of the cocktails we ordered; they merely tasted like very sweet juice.

    >servers don't even know the contents of their menu(like the basic, if it's chicken or not[when asked they just answer they don't know since they're not the one who prepared it]) >very rude... why would you ask your customers to move to another table when they are in the middle of eating??? when in the first place you are the ones who led us to sit in that area. Did not even try to move the ones from the other table just beside us from the same area that they said needed to be cleaned. >food is not good (seems like it was reheated, no salt in their calamares, cocktail drinks are so watered down 10%alcohol/90%juice should have just ordered juice) saw the reviews on their fb page and lots of complaint as well

    I liked it its good they have good services, but also they need to have good place for the scenery, Although I do understand that they are still small business I hope they have bigger building and good location for the scenery also

  • 4/5 James Baylon (. 1 year ago on Google
    Although cocktails werent available because they were cleaning, the venue itself is awesome. Plus the waiter with the tattoos is soo nice and HOT

  • 4/5 Kai 2 years ago on Google
    Food taste good. Very noisy even in the afternoon. More of a place for college students to loosen up and for friends to catch up but not really for family or intimate moments

  • 3/5 Arc M. 2 years ago on Google
    March 22 - The mood and atmosphere of the place is warm because of its lighting and good playlist . The bathroom needs some repair. The plating of food is nice but it tastes basic and is also a bit pricey. Staff are welcoming and approachable. I totally recommend the place for relaxing and catching up with friends. Hoping for further developments though. As they say, there is always room for improvement.

    The place is decent enough, and is a good venue if you want to chill for a bit. It’s located in the CBS so you technically can’t smoke in the main eating area. There is a tiny room towards the back where you can smoke though. The food is alright, a bit salty but generally okay. The servings are almost proportional to the price.

👍👍 Famous for their Cream Puffs, but was not available. We had Sinigang which was really good and their buttered chicken which was okay. Service was amazing, there was a 'bot' serving the food and the service crew are always available to help. Great way to start your Baguio vacation

😠 I will be honest... the food was alarmingly terrible. I wish I were exaggerating, or had a better experience to write about. But I do not even wish to have my worst enemy eat here, so here I am writing my first review, as is my duty as a responsible citizen of the country. The main dishes were.......
