Ate there with the family just a few hours ago.

The place (outdoor seating) is very boho chic. Good view of sunset and city lights at night. Very breezy that time so everyone's hair was "mahangin ba sa labas?" Good thing is they do not charge corkage fees if you bring cakes (like what we did).

Service: When we first ordered, the waiter said 15-20 min. Yes, it was served within that time limit; so far, so good. As the night wore on, we realized they failed to serve our Tinolang Halaan order (but judging from a few posts above, good thing it didn't arrive); we had to ask 3 waiters about our order to no avail. The manager was roaming the place so we called him and just said that we're cancelling our order. We also ordered bottled waters but had to follow-up, again, 3 times before the manager came again and FINALLY it got served. Seriously, for just bottled water?!

Food/Drinks: Nothing earth-shattering. Just typical Pinoy fare. The servings were quite small, mind you. Good thing the family does not have a big appetite. DO NOT ORDER THE COOLER. Or, well, order at your own risk. Seriously, it's eight o'clock juice with added orange, kalamansi, and watermelon slices. Bigger proportion of water compared to powdered juice and as the ice melts in your mayonnaise jar, it will now taste like water.

Our orders: Pancit, Panga, Sisig, Sizzling Gambas, Lechon Kawali, Baked Tahong, Cooler, bottled water

Ambiance/Place: I guess you are paying for the view and the ambiance. I like the green color scheme; very refreshing for the eyes. Outdoor seating, as much as possible; more airy, better view, less smoke. Too bad if it rains though. The indoor area is full of smoke from the grill, smells of cigarette smoke as well, looks too packed, hot...just plain uncomfortable to me.

Verdict: 3.5/5 --- The boho chic look saved it.

My family and I ate there last Sunday, August 5. I'd say that the place is nice but layo2 lang gyud siya ang pwerte ngitngita. They better add more signboards pointing to the resto's direction. Hinay-hinay ang dagan kay ang kontra sa dan kay puro sikad nga di gyud hapit makit-an.

**Fast forward**

When we arrived there, daghan kaayo nagwaiting, so ipagawas ang pagkapasensyosa ninyo kung adto mo ug weekend. Because I was parking the car, my mom was the one who chose our order. Kuyog namo akong disabled lola and lolo. Ang receptionist wala gyud kahatagan ug chair para man lang sa akong lolo. And then, nag-ask akong mom sa ilang menu para makachoose lang mi daan sa food para kung ma-seated nami diritsu nalang order, dili gyud muhatag ang receptionist kay dili daw pwede. Later na daw lung makalingkod nami. Hala ha, di ko ka-understand sa iyang logic.

**Fast forward**

So, we were seated sa outdoor side sa resto, ordered the food, and waited the food to arrive. What we ordered:
1. Rice platter.
2. Cordova cooler.
3. Bottomless icetea.
4. Tinolang manok-whole.
5. Spicy scallops.
6. Buttered shrimps.
7. Sinuglaw.
8. Calamares.
9. Sinugbang baboy.
10. Sinugbang kitong**

Ang last na-abot sa among order kay ang soup considering nga dapat mag-una na siya. So, nag-additional mi order ug 1 rice platter. Nahuman nalang mi ug kaon, wa pa na-abot among rice platter. Ug nagfollow-up mi sa sinugbang kitong, ni-ingon ra ang waiter sa lain table, "Ay mam, wala diay mo na-inform nga dili na ni siya available?" Ug hala ha, humana nalang mi ug kaon. So, sige kay pwede ra ipa-cancel. And then, akong mom nag-ask ug refill sa iyang bottomless icetea, hala nangayo nalang mi sa bill, wa pa na-abot iyang refill. Sa kadaghan waiter among gi-ingnan sa refill. The buttered shrimp was saucy and too salty but since fanatic kaayo ko ug shrimp so okay nalang. Calamares is too expensive considering gamay ra kaayo ang serving.

Gubot ilang waiter kay bisag kinsa ang muduol to followup pero wala ray mahitabo. And one more thing, wala gyud mi nahatagan ug water considering nangayo mi nila ug kapila kay diabetic akong lolo.

Overall, bad service but nice ambiance. Better yet, you be the judge. Good luck!
