I really wanted to love this place! We traveled 45 minutes just to try it out cause the photos…read morelooked soo appealing. We'll start with the ambiance, it's a beautiful restaurant and an awesome location. Slightly away from the madness so it doesn't feel super busy. The service is great, we were seated immediately and the staff was very attentive. They recommended the garlic shrimp appetizer and the seafood mix paella. Unfortunately, both were pretty underwhelming. The shrimp were small and were just drenched in garlic oil. The paella was hard and crunchy not like authentic paella. The seafood tasted overly charbroiled for our liking. It was unfortunate cause this was a pricey meal too. Definitely won't be coming back.

Don't tell my boyfriend, but I'm infatuated with Alqueria. Who knew Spanish food could be THAT…read moregreat? If all the restaurants that served Spanish food were an entire kingdom, Alqueria would be their queen. Just browsing the menu alone makes you feel like someone's going to pop out with guitars, castanets, and harmonicas any moment now. It actually reminded me of how I've always wanted to learn the language. The restaurant feels so cozy, and yet it subtly exudes elegance. And like I said before, the dishes are SO good! The beef salpicao, the chorizo... all those classic Spanish food you love and enjoy. I honestly don't know how to describe all their dishes. All I can say is this: forget all that you've tasted from other Spanish restaurants. This is the real deal, my friend. You /can't/ let this pass. (Although, you may opt to pass on the churros. Not that great, but they /could/ be authentic Spanish churros. I wouldn't know.)

The Benedict was quite good, except for the pumpkin being fried and tasted sour. But the server said it was really like that. The American Breakfast set was not that good: the bacon tasted like Tocino, the pancakes were not quite what I was expecting, overall, I will not order this again. Their staff was friendly and dining service was good. I would say that service was fair because our food took a while before it was brought to our table but food temperature doesn't seem like it was newly cooked.

We ordered a family-size Paella, Sangria, Kare Kare, and Crispy Pata. The food was just alright. The paella didn't really have a lot of meat to it so it's hard to share with people since there's only a few pieces of sausage and shrimp. The kare kare was just okay. The sangria carafe costs roughly 350PHP I think which is about $7! Super cheap!

Usually, I go here after a long day and just sit at the bar. I order my beer, watch a bit of TV then head home. Simple. No noisy gossip, no blaring dance music... just a big ass beer and basketball on the TV. The food is pretty decent. It's just a bit heavy for me if I'm here alone. I recommend the Spam Chips! Love those! The sausages are good too. But, seriously, you're here for the beer and you can't go wrong with a draft beer. They have flavored beers for the girls. If you're looking for something sweet to drink, I recommend the Caramel Beer. They have promos for every day of the week. For example, they have Girl's Night Out Wednesdays. Ladies get Buy 1, Take 1 on all cocktails and wine. On Thirsty Thursdays, my personal fave, all their available foreign beers are only Php100. NICE! If you're feeling the oldie bug and want a chill night, this is THE place to go! Who knows, maybe you'll see me sitting by the bar when you visit. ;)

St. Patrick's describes itself to be your friendly neighborhood pub, and it absolutely lives up to…read moreits claims. Its gates are (literally) open for anyone and everyone to step in, have a few beers, and chow on some grub. Being a pub, they take pride in their beer and whiskey selections. Perhaps not the widest selection, ever, but pretty good for a bar that I can walk to. But, being somewhat of a buffalo wings connoisseur, I couldn't help but give theirs a try. I wasn't expecting much, but I was pleasantly surprised at how much I liked their recipe! I like my wings a little sour, and this hit the spot perfectly. Maybe a bit too spicy for my taste (although, I'm not complaining), but it is great for a quick buffalo wings fix. Look for Rachel -- she's the server who is stationed by the door. At least during the evenings. She'll take care of you.

On entering the restaurant, one cannot but notice the well-appointed red tablecloth tables with cloth napkins. The dishes at our disposal were many. They were Gambas (shrimp) in garlic and oil, potato croquettes, Spanish sausage, baked oysters, mushrooms, crostini with dip, chicken, spinach pizza and of course, seafood paella. To add to the cozy ambiance of this restaurant were three singers with Spanish guitars, serenading the audience in the restaurant. Our group got several renditions of Spanish ballads including, "Guantanamera". We sang along for this one. All the dishes were prepared well and highlighted their own distinct taste and flavors. My favorites were the croquettes, the baked oysters and the seafood paella. The croquettes were crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. The oysters though small, came 12 to a plate and were moist and well charred to bring out the baked parmesan fragrance. The seafood paella was the crown jewel of the evening. It contained several seafood varieties and was made fresh. It came out slightly charred at the bottom, as does any good paella. When scraped, mixed with the other contents, and eaten, one is rewarded with several bursts of aroma and taste. Table service was excellent. Muchas Gracias, Senores y Senoras.
