The level of service felt more appropriate for a casual turo-turo stall in a public market than a proper dining establishment -- food was served with little care or presentation, and there was no sense of professionalism in how customers were attended to. Management would do well to invest in proper customer service training if they hope to meet the standards expected of a sit-down restaurant

There really isnt a lot of parking available, but as long as you can fit your car in a spot, youre good. There have definitely grown a lot in the many years of my absence. I remember it was an all outdoor setting and the restaurant was still halfway through the field. Now, it takes up the entire lot with a second story spaces and airconditioned rooms and private rooms. I dont ever recall having a turo turo/ karenderia setting, but its there now and its the same as the food as they serve in the menu. Like most restaurants here, they have a place to wash their hands that is outside of the restrooms which makes it super convenient and you dont have to crowd the restrooms for that. Also, you can fill your own water pitchers or glasses at their self serve water station just beside the hand washing station. They were all very attentive to us. We had over a party of 15 of all ages and everyone was pretty fed and satisfied.

As soon as you walk in you will be greeted with a display of fresh caught seafood and you choose whatever and however you want it cooked. We had grilled squid and a piece of prawn and blue marlin for sinigang. There is also a row of dishes that are ready to be served. Ordered "pagi " as well and it was delicious! The place is super clean with rich wood furnishings.

The family had a big dinner here a few years ago and that was my first time at the Granary, which…read moreis located in the Richmonde hotel. I'll be honest, that dinner with the family was quite nice but I can't really point to anything memorable, other than I liked the table settings and presentation of the food. We were a party of 40?? And they were prepared. But in staying eight (8) nights at the Richmonde for a vacation to visit family, I'm so glad we opted to pay extra for the buffet breakfast. I know, I know - Anthony Bourdain states that we should grab a meal far away from the hotel, but I actually liked it here. If you're not seated in the main dining area, by the kitchen, you'll be seated in the bar area. That's what I call the Business Class section. You may have to walk a little farther for your food, but it's not as busy and you can have a quiet conversation. As for the food, I really loved the omelettes which are made to order - I usually just asked for everything. There is a wide variety of breads, rolls, cakes (calorie counting??, not anymore), jams, cereals, there's just a ton of carb choices. My favorite was the Champorado - which is a chocolate rice porridge. Yes, this was a childhood memory in a bowl, topped with condensed milk. For protein, there was a lot of that too - longanisa sausages, beef tapa, and pork Tocino. There was a lot of fresh fruit too, and unlimited bacon. One warning, the coffee was not strong enough so have the hot chocolate instead. It was a pleasure to come here every morning and I had extra family members join me and they don't charge it to your room, so bring your credit card with you.

Lechon is one of the Filipino "Must Eat" delicacies that you should try when visiting the…read morePhilippines. If you live in America, then you may have tried Lechon if you attended a party hosted by Filipino friends. Believe me, though, Lechon tastes so much better in the Philippines. Specifically, I think Cebu makes the BEST tasting Lechon in the world!! For those of you who do not know, Lechon is a whole roasted pig!! A true Filipino Delicacy!! We stopped in at the House of Lechon in Talisay, Cebu to try their version of Lechon. They make a regular Lechon and a spicy Lechon. Both taste fantastic!! Love the mixture of spices they use to make such flavorful lechon!! My favorite was the Spicy Lechon!! It was the best I tasted during our 3 week trip in the Philippines. I tried about a dozen of them!! Hey, there were a lot of parties that we attended and each one served lechon. Anyways, the House of Lechon in Talisay, Cebu is a wonderful place to try this popular Filipino delicacy! Their restaurant looks great inside. Beautifully decorated and the staff was awesome!! 5 stars for the House of Lechon!! They know what they are doing here!!

The sauce on it was good too. Grilled lechon belly - just ok Fish and chips (had 2 good dipping sauce, but the fish was just ok.

Not exactly your typical ceviche, but still great nonetheless! I also had the: -pollo saltado (Peruvian chicken stirfry) -Cerdo con papa (pork tenderloin soup with potatoes) -pescado blanco (a white fish dish nicely simmered in white wine) -aji de gallina (a mildly spiced creamed chicken) -arroz chaufa (much like Chinese fried rice with beef, peas, and carrots) All of them, were great choices! I especially liked the aji de gallina, since I like a bit of spice with my food :) For the beverage, I had the "cucumber ala fresca" pitcher (fresh cucumber juice infused w/ lime and ginger) - very REFRESHING! ^_^ Overall, a great eating experience. The ambience is nice, and this restaurant is a nice place to take someone on a date. The music has a very smooth Latino feel. The prices are affordable. Oh, and they have Wi-fi = a great plus too! Haha Would recommend.

So disappointed! We specifically came for the tempura shrimps they advertised. I have eaten at…read moreJapanese restaurants that served tempura shrimps using Panko. As you can see on their promotional photo, the tempura shrimp shown there looks nothing to what was served to us. I posted both side by side for comparison. The "tempura shrimp" served to us was just flour battered shrimp. As to the halo halo, there was only 3 mix ingredients; mini sago, gulaman and cornflakes. No beans, no langka, no pinipig, no saging, no kamote etc. Ice provided was a water logged mess. It was not shaved, so you get big pieces of ice. The place is very tight. It was not wheelchair friendly nor handicap friendly. There was only one person manning the entire main food table dishing out food to you. So there was a long line waiting. It was extremely uncomfortable seated inside even though the Aircon was on. We arrived at 12:30pm on a Sunday, so there was no reason food served was like this. For the salad bar there was only 3 ingredients; lettuce, tomatoes and shredded carrots. The only vegetable dish I saw aside from the salad section was fried kangkong... that's it! Now for the plus side, the hostess/servers/help were A+, so I tipped generously because it's not their fault the food is subpar. There is also free garage parking next to their building.
