Diner's Bulalo

It's unfortunate that other reviewers shot down this place as we found our experience here to be quite acceptable. We did not order their staple, which is bulalo but we requested for the broth with some veggies to which they obliged for free. The broth was quite alright but not great, typical of Batangas-style bulalo (I prefer the Kansi-style of Negros). Their bangus sisig was very good as well as their paksiw na lechon. I recomend both dishes. The extra ensaladang talong was just OK, nothing out of the ordinary. Coffee is free-flowing which is a nice touch. The mango with sticky rice was just OK. On another visit, we tried their maliputo fish but had it grilled. I regretted this as they did not do this well. Our fault for asking for something other than their stated way of cooking (theirs was "kinamatisang maliputo). Maybe we should try their version next time.

Definitely one of the worst restaurants I have ever gone to. First off, their service is absolutely horrible. The waiter who served us was busy watching TV that he even poured a lot of water that the glass overflowed. One of the glasses that were given to us still had oil. Most of the servers were busy watching TV that they were not able to attend to us immediately. The place was really hot because the only air conditioner that was turned on was the one near the servers. The food was below average. Their beef caldereta was hard and the serving size and overall quality of it is not worth the price. I am never going back to this restaurant and would never recommend eating here.

What a let down! Wouldn't be surprised if they closed sometime soon. Management should change the entire staff. Absolutely a dreadful experience. Let me recall it: All of the waiters' eyes were glued to the television. It was hard to call their attention. They apparently had all the aircon to themselves. They did not even bother opening the one near us as long as they were comfortable. We had to eat while sweating like pigs. No one batted their eyes away from the television!! The glasses they served have oil in it. When we politely asked them to change it; one of the waiters had a grumpy expression, annoyed with the fact that we disturbed their telenovela session (geez!). When he was pouring another glass, he spilled it all on our table. WTF. He tsk-ed and off he went. He never showed himself again. The new waiter that served us was no better. He was carrying our meals but his eyes were stuck on the television! Can you imagine what if the hot dishes fell... read more

WTF. Pathetic. Won't recommend anyone coming here. Won't even return here again. itsemified.com

It is unfortunate that other reviewers have shot down this place when we found our experience here as pretty acceptable.

Our fault to ask for something else as your specified type (her was "Kinamatisang Maliputo). Maybe we should try your version next time.
