I was able to take numerous pictures, and I didn't have to worry about my table manners. Instead of us asking each other to pass the heavy trays or dishes around, we just excused each other for reaching for the food. With my luck, if I tried to pass or receive a dish, I would drop it. The food was delicious! We started off with the Pate de Jamon, and we ate that like there was no tomorrow. The La Cata de los Tres Olivos and the Tabla de Manchego were wonderful with our 3 orders of Jamon. I enjoyed eating the Ensalada con Queso with the Jamon, Pork and Steak dishes. The luscious appetizers, savory meat dishes, delightful Crema de Queso and Tocino de Cielo deserts is a good reason why my niece booked a reservation for her birthday in December. If you're coming here for their Jamon and wine pairings, don't come here when it's time for the elections like we did. Now we know why we had the second floor to ourselves.

Inside is crazy youthful and vibrant oozing in urban drip. There is definitely a design concept here that they bring to life quite well. Night time when the lighting scheme can take hold is when I think this place buzzes. But in honesty we arrived near sunset when it was still daylight and the space is still quite clean and impressive. Just has another buzz at night that's all. Just a note: even tho the interior is slick and upscale, the outside is in a not so hot neighborhood with lots of dark and narrow streets/alleys. I'd take public rides here if you can. Luckily arrived during one of their happy hours so it was 2 for 1 certain drinks. House cocktails and certain glasses of wine. Did an Argentine Malbec to start then slipped into a Tanqueray Tonic as it got darker. Warm weather makes me gravitate towards that cocktail, very refreshing yet a slow sipper to savour. Charcuterie Board (3.5*) Not sure if these are build-able or came as is. Someone had this coming out before I even ordered a drink. Big board like enough for 6 to casually nosh on. You will have to keep asking for more bread or crackers as they only give out a little with the board. I'm sure there is a charge for each basket of bread as it seems home made, very warm, meaty interior with a slight crust. We asked for refills at least 4 times, it's that good, good. Lots of components tried about 4 cheeses 2 soft rinds and 2 medium textured ones. Saw about 4 cured sliced meats, 1 smooth pate, 1 pork rilletes and a couple of tart condiments like a spiced pineapple and some pickled vegetables. All was standard except for the chicken liver pate which had a significant sweetness to it which threw many of us off. It wasn't horrible as it was kinda like eating a piece of meat that intermingled with something sweet like maple syrup or honey. Can't really say I want that for a pate spread but it was 'interesting'. Goat Cheese Salad ((4*) This seemed like a salad meant to share family style versus an entree salad. I only say that cuz the warm 'goat cheese' is a whole mini wheel of cheese, like way too much for one person to consume in one sitting. Salad was the standard fancy greens with cubed beets, walnuts and a light vinaigrette. That whole wheel of cheese I mentioned was fried in a crumb crust that was very crisp and when cut into, the cheese oozed big time. My take is the cheese seemed more like Brie to me cuz of the smooth texture, unless there is a soft rind creamy goats cheese I haven't had. Porchetta (3.5*) A rolled pork belly where the interior gets rubbed with salt and rosemary then the rolled belly gets roasted til the exterior gets crisp. This was rolled and seasoned quite well but after slicing they fried the slice to give it more crisping. Crisp it was (all throughout) that it gave off Lechon kawali vibes to me, more than Porchetta vibes. Again not entirely bad, just a gap between expectations and real time. Service quite professional for being a very youthful staff. I actually think this country excels in anything service related compared to where the US is now, where the avoidance of service is well on the climb. But great place to lounge/drink in a stylish atmo, food more just okay, so keep that casual and this place is more than able to impress. Rounding up.

It's a bright, delicious, and heady fusion, not unlike laughter and stories shared among good friends. These are the dishes that stood out on our table, and that I highly recommend: Chorizo and Cheese Platter - This is the dish that I'll remember this night by. I enjoyed consuming the delicious bite-size pieces of chorizo bilbao, followed by slices of manchego and bleu cheese on crackers, and washed down by sangria. Jamon Serrano Espaguetis con Gambas Al Ajillo - One of the best seafood pasta dishes I've had in a long, long while. The prawns were perfectly cooked, and the taste of garlic was not too overpowering. The amount of oil used to coat the pasta was also just right. I would have loved to have roasted garlic cloves with this dish, and perhaps a little more parmesan. Paella de Marisco Chocolate Souffle Tocino del Cielo Dishes that could be better: Pollo Empanada - The chicken was moist and juicy, but lacked flavor. Patatas Bravas - I thought there was too much dressing on this dish. I would have preferred that the potatoes be served warm. And the dressing looks and tastes inexpensive. Pulpo a la Gallega - I had high expectations for this dish. Slices of octopus on a bed of mashed potatoes and paprika sauce. The mash could use a little more salt. I am not sure why the paprika sauce lacked heat and that smoky flavor one would expect from paprika.

It's hard to whine when it's just wine, but to dine is another line…read more The wine club has been retailing California wines for over 10 years at prices lower than anyone else on the market, being that they are the main distributor of such. Bottles start from around 700 pesos and the best part is the no-surcharge for in-store consumption, but service charge will be added on, which is fair enough since wine glasses are provided. Simply pick a bottle and have them serve the wine, that feature is a solid 4.0, but held back by their food, which is a sorry 2.0 on average. We were Driven to believe that a bottle of red wine would suffice both the 4 cheese pizza and the meat pizza, but the cheese pizza pairs better with white wine. The 4 Cheese Pizza (490 PHP) is a combination of blue cheese, parmesan, goat cheese, and mozzarella, which in totality is fairly a decent topping, though the dough was dry in performance. The Meat Pizza (500 PHP) just doesn't work in composition, it's a work in progress, which is a new a direction for this once purely retail shop. Overall, Come for wine and dine elsewhere and you'll be fine.

Parking was a breeze as well (street parking in front of the restaurants at Tuscany). Their place is very purple-lighted (because grapes) and they have tables inside for large groups and outside for their smoking area. They played throwback songs (because TBT) which made my stay worthwhile. They sell wines by the bottle and by glass (sip, half, full sizes) and I was told that the wines by the glass were arranged according to their taste from "dry" to "sweet". At first glance, wines that are sweet are more expensive, but there are cheaper ones that are sweeter than some. Tried red and white, in the range of mid sweet and not as expensive. I'm glad staff gave tips on which to get. I also got their bread with olive oil and balsamic vinegar which is one of the cheapest appetizers to go with both red and white wines. They don't have a happy hour promo but I heard from a friend they had this unlimited promo last year around July. I'm hoping to catch it and visit again soon!

Z Roof Deck lives up to its name as a solid rooftop bar in Poblacion. While it isn't the highest…read morevantage point in the area, it still offers a great perspective of the neighborhood, with particularly nice views of the illuminated Rockwell buildings and the distant BGC skyline. The atmosphere is definitely a vibe--chill and social. Music starts up later in the evening (around 9 PM, I believe), which helps transition the mood as night falls. We visited fairly early and enjoyed the shift when the music began. However, one interaction notably dampened the experience. A brief, joking conversation with a bouncer took an unexpectedly dark turn. When I lightheartedly asked if anyone had ever tripped on the spiral staircase, he replied, "Only if I throw them off." Joking or not, for someone responsible for patron safety, this felt in poor taste and sounds like he wants to look or sound intimidating. It's a remark that unfortunately sticks with you. And it was of bad taste. Overall, Z Roof Deck has much to offer in terms of views and ambiance, but attention to staff training and customer interaction would elevate it from a good spot to a great one. 2 star from poor choice of words from the security at the roof deck.
