Good menu / good food / prompt service / elegant ambience

Searched for an alternate place in Tagaytay for lunch as our original target place had like 3 hours waiting time. Yeah yeah the part of the restaurant where reservations allowed was full. So we decided to roll the dice and we lose. So with all the hassle of driving through narrow streets and walking from parking, i thought I'd give myself a break and find one that has a great view of Taal and with 'no-hassle' parking. Searched and Voila! TAZA is in Taal Vista Hotel - Fairly good ratings and of course big parking space so.. Go kami! Started with the Flat Bread with 4 dips, It's ok but having tasted a lot of Mediterranean/middle eastern dips, it left me wanting as my tastebuds and thoughts were comparing them from Marcia Adam's and Hossein's. Not a fair fight. The much vaunted Mushroom soup was 'as advertised'. Sublime and earthy but surprisingly refreshing - i should have ordered two! This is how mushroom soup should be. The Pasta too did not disappoint! The Carbonara was 'Herb-ie' i.e. spices had just the right touch and it had just enough richness that did not overpower. Me wondering if this is one of those "milk/cream-less" ones. Ink squid was tasty and delicious as well and yes it doesn't have the fishy (lansa) taste so you can tell that the squid was fresh, soft and well-prepared. Got disappointed with the Steak though. Ordered the Rib-eye and the NY Strip, asked for 'Medium' but we got 'Medium-well' to well-done instead. I know this is not gourmet steak quality so my expectations were not that high. But because of the done-ness, much negotiations between teeth and meat had to happen. The sidings were great and generous but sadly the gravy was almost tasteless and watery. Sayang, panalo yung pasta pero nahatak pababa nung steak ang overall food experience. The ambiance is another story of course because it gives you the full majestic view of Taal lake and you can't ever go wrong with that.

Taza was closed but some of their menu was available through the Veranda. The view was nice and the seating was adequately spaced following COVID protocols. We ordered their Hangar steak, pizza, and cauli mash which were good. There wasn't anything spectacular for the price and the serving time was slow even if we went past lunch time. Have to give props to the head waiter who helped fix the steak doneness.

A very cozy place, the tsokolate batirol is superb👌I just hope they include pastries on the menu soon.

This place is where you separate yourself and your family from the crowd. This is where you order good food and excellent wine paired with tapas. The tomahawk steak (pork) is to die for! While the hanger steak is very soft and tender and flavorful.

Tucked away in an alcove between the main wing and the expansion wing of Taal Vista Hotel, Taza is a restaurant you definitely want to try if you're in the area. It's quite pricey - as it's a hotel restaurant - but the food is definitely worth the price. I particularly liked their Chicken Liver in Garlic Mezze. It's not the ground up mezze you'd expect, but the flavor notes in this simple dish will surprise you!

(Translated by Google) This restaurant is located in Taal Vista Hotel, a luxury hotel in Tagaytay, a summer resort in the Philippines. The staff are basically kind and well educated. The price is not that high. Credit cards are accepted. For a limited time, we were on a 20% off campaign with American Express. Not only here, you may get a discount if you use a specific card at overseas restaurants, so it's a good idea to bring all the international brands you have with you when traveling abroad.

Great food.

The Ricotta and Tomahawk pork chops are simply to die for!

Amazing

Sayang i thought it would be a creative young cook who can use the space in the hotel garden to dish out some fresh dishes but it s just the ordinary hotel fare, boring and unhealthy. The staff is friendly, the interior is a cave....Maybe it should be a spa but then again same problem...

Food, Spa, Rooms, play area, Garden area, View, Ranch, Staff, everything is the best. One must visit here n explore this place.

Food was really good! The wagyu burger was delicious, & even the onion rings and wedges were lovely. But the tomahawk porkchop was delicious and well prepared... coupled with the cauliflower mash and an a side order of coconut rice, it was splendid! Service was also quite good.

The 2021 Valentine's dinner course was exquisite! The chefs did an amazing job. The highlights of the course for me were the Mushroom and Spinach Ravioli and the Hanger Steak.

Food presentation was mouthwatering. What more the taste!

cool place but food here is so so

Good service.and good food! Just wish they have more choices though..

Very good dining experience. The servers were very nice. Food was excellent. I love their mushroom pasta and the tomahawk pork chop. The view of Mt. Taal from the deck just outside the restaurant was also beautiful.

Delicious food. Beautiful ambiance. Great service. A perfect spot for a quiet breakfast/brunch with family, away from the crowd.

Not sure if taza fresh is the cook for taal vista outside dining, but experienced very slow service. Ordered around 530pm still around 730pm no food nor water was served

With Taal Vista's main lobby, one of the most serene places to dine in. The sweets are delectable, and filling - but not guilt free! Five stars!

Great ambience and kind staff too. We came with my baby nephew and he was even given a complimentary birthday cake because he was looking at the other table having the birthday cake too hehe. The restaurant was not really full when we came there but the staff provided us with a really good service. The food was really delicious too. We tried the carbonara, flatbread and hanger steak. Hoping to try the Taza burger on our next visit (Sadly, it was unavailable on the day we went here.)

Too expensive for the quality AND quantity of food. I ordered the STEAK, I was asked for my preferred DONENESS and I said MEDIUM. They gave me beyond WELL-DONE. I had it changed and still got a MEDIUM-WELL and an UNRESTED steak. 🤦🏻

Had dinner with my family. I was pleasantly surprised. Servers well versed in the menu. A+

I found this outlet at Taal Vista after hours of scouring the internet, and since it's a 4 star hotel within a prime location (and on the more affordable side vs Antonio's), we had high expectations. My partner and I went for an intimate dinner with the following dishes: Squash & Arugula Salad, Truffle Flatbread, Ravioli, and Hanger Steaks. Salad-- I don't even get the combinations of this salad. The dressing, the red capsicum, etc. Was it supposed to be a salad? Idk. Was it supposed to be a viand? Idk. Truffle Flatbread-- I can barely taste or smell the truffle. Underseasoned. But dough is ok. Ravioli-- it was meh. The ravioli was 5 pcs at most (that's like P100 a piece!) A big as the mouth of a tea cup. It was like eating flat dimsum, bathed in an underseasoned sauce. Hanger Steak-- at least this one was a bit redeeming. The doneness was great (medium rare), the meat was soft and tender, and they got the demi-glace correctly. French beans and carrots were ok, too. In a nutshell, it was supposed to be a good night. But its frustrating to pay almost P4,000 for food which weren't palatable (to say the least). Sadly, I could've enjoyed better and hearty food with this amount. The outlet seemed to be lacking in food quality audit, and a bit of nudge from the management. If I were the head chef, I wouldn't let those food out of my kitchen.

Consistently good!

The food was one of the best I have ever tasted.

The place is good.... plus the wonderful view of Taal lake

Great views, delicious food but service is unfortunately slow!

Great salad and steaks! Awesome service

Friendly and helpful staff, but a little too obtrusive at the table. Dishes were served quickly. slightly too less pasta on the plate.

Didn't actually eat here. It claims to be Moroccan/Middle Eastern but is in reality mostly a steakhouse. We changed our minds after seeing this as beef in the Philippines is expensive and can get a good steak.much cheaper back in Australia.

Good place, good food, but not sure if you can eat here even if you're not going to check in at the hotel

Pros outweigh the cons. Here's a breakdown: Pros: Great food, nice views, rarely crowded, great service Cons: Expensive, no restroom inside. Must go outside to the hotel to get to a restroom.

My favourite Tomahawk Porkchop is the best!

Quite pricey

Great food, great service. Located in the viewing deck of Taal Vista.

(Translated by Google) quite expensive (Original) medyo mahal

Fresh farm to table. I loved the Bukidnon Wagyu and the relaxing ambiance

Good tasting Mediterranean food.

Omg. I really love the food. So tasty and well prepared. It's a bit expensive but if you are looking for a great fine dining, you may consider this.

(Translated by Google) Overall, the room is large, clean and quiet. However, sewer moths are often seen in bedrooms and restrooms. (Original) 전체적으로 룸은 크고 깨끗하고 조용합니다. 다만 하수구 나방이 침실과 화장실에서 많이 보임.

Ambiance is good, food is fine but overpriced

Formal place. One can also avail the breakfast here not too crowdwed with a view

Not so good

(Translated by Google) Very beautiful place, beautiful scenery. The food in the restaurant is cooked with love - it's visible and felt to taste :) Everything was wonderful! (Original) Очень красивее место, красивый пейзаж. Еда в ресторане приготовлена с любовью - это видно и чувствуется по вкусу :) Все былр замечательно!

Tasty

Food and service are good!

Taza Salad is my favorite!

Nothing spectacular and the food was overly priced. Priced to be 'fine dining' but the food, ambiance and the service was far from it.
