Mall, it struck me as a nice family restaurant.&nbsp; The atmosphere is elegant, but not too posh.&nbsp; The place is very clean and inviting.&nbsp; The wooden partitions between the rows of tables add to the ambiance, as well as provide some privacy, thereby making the atmosphere more cozy, yet lite and open.&nbsp; It also has a nice view of neighboring buildings, which very much gives it a downtown city feel.&nbsp; The 1990s music adds to the relaxed, laid-back atmosphere.&nbsp; The noise level is moderate, which is perfect for families with young children.&nbsp; You can relax if they make a little noise.&nbsp; Nobody will be disturbed by it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The service is great!&nbsp; The waiters and waitresses are very accessible, friendly and helpful, always smiling.&nbsp; The restaurant is well-staffed &#8211; someone is always available to help.&nbsp; I like the teal shirts with the black pants on the waiters\/waitresses, whereas others are all black &#8211; easy to tell who to reach out to for service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-3 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul

\/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>We ordered the Inihaw Sampler or grilled sampler &#8211; chicken, liempo, pork BBQ, muscles, BBQ shrimp, and bangus belly.&nbsp; The presentation is elegant but not over-done.&nbsp; The pork BBQ is very tasty.&nbsp; You can really taste the BBQ marinade.&nbsp; I actually like it better without the vinegar dip because it has such a balanced flavor as it is. The shrimp has a strong BBQ flavor as well, and the mushrooms compliment it very nicely.&nbsp; The muscles are marinated in a special sauce, then BBQ sauce is applied after cooking &#8211; nice touch!&nbsp; The liempo is good, but I do like the pork more.&nbsp; Although my least favorite, the&nbsp;chicken is very tender and goes well with the other meats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We also ordered their &#8220;sisig in a pouch&#8221;, which is crunchy outside and very soft inside.&nbsp; It is also very spicy but not at all hot.&nbsp; It tastes great when dipped in their special vinegar sauce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The big highlight to me was the least expensive item on the menu: pancit canton.&nbsp; It was very authentic and therefore delicious.&nbsp; I could immediately tell the noodles and the sauces are homemade, in the same way we can identify homemade pasta.&nbsp; The sauce has a nice soy-based flavor, and it&#8217;s not too sweet<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I would strongly recommend at least one order of pancit canton &#8211; it would make a great side dish.&nbsp; This alone will bring me back to<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I had bottomless iced tea to drink &#8211; way too sweet for my tastes!&nbsp; I forgot that I had to order it as unsweet in the Philippines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And, to bring the meal to a perfect conclusion, we had turon with ice cream &#8211; great desert!&nbsp; The turon (banana\/jackfruit mix wrapped in flower lumpia type wrapper) is nice and crunchy and flavorful.&nbsp; The banana ice cream has a rich banana flavor and goes very well with the turon.&nbsp; Suggest immediately removing the ice cream from the top &#8211; it will melt very fast if left on top!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The entire dining experience set us back only approx. P1800. BBQ platter was approx. P900, pancit only P250 and that alone will bring me back here. Will easily feed a family of 4-5 with top-quality food. Definitely a good value, especially considering the quality of the food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, it was a most enjoyable dining experience.&nbsp; The combination of great food and and outstanding service combined with the laid back, family atmosphere with nice city views definitely made this a place of choice for me.<\/p>\n        <div class=\"booster-block booster-reactions-block\">\n
