We always make it a point to eat at Rose & Grace every time we travel south. I've been coming here…read moresince I was a kid and I'm so glad that it's still around to serve the same food I've known growing up. My favorites include longganisa (sausage) and they are known for their bulalo (beef soup with bone marrow). They serve the beef soup as a compliment when you dine in so you don't have to order soup unless you want to beef or the bone marrow. I'm always sure to have a hearty meal whenever I come to this place. So good ive even made it a point for my partner to come try this place when he visited.

We came for post-lunch coffee and desserts. We had just dined at Balay Dako before coming here…read more This restaurant is also a good option for dining with a mountaintop view of Taal Volcano. I was let down by the poor service we received during our time here at Bag of Beans. We ordered refillable Houseblend coffee and Kapeng Barako, but we were not able to really maximize the bottomless option. The servers were not as visible during our stay there, and we constantly had to call for one's attention. The servers can also be better trained to roam more frequently and be available for assistance. Another issue and big dissapointment I had was the Cold Brew Lemon & Mint they have in their menu. I don't think I will be alone to assume that this beverage will also be locally brewed and prepared like their coffee, but unfortunately that was not the case. The cold brew order turned out to be just a glass of cold water with a tea bag sachet branded Ahmad Tea London. To top it all off, the cold water mug they served has an ant in it. I had to request for a new mug, but the replacement mug of cold water also took too long to arrive. It was at least good enough that they have a good overlooking view going for them to soften the blow of bad service we experienced during our time.

Leslie's Restaurant in Tagaytay hasn't changed over the years: the menu, the sumptuous cacauphony…read moreof tastes and aroma that fills the air, and to-die landscape remains to be the elements, that drive thousands to this mecca of sorts. I've come back from afar and wanted to dine again, on their bulalo and voila, the crowds descended like hungry wolves which made my trip, more interesting and exciting. The mist from an unstoppable showers was complicit in creating an avant garde of magical beauty as we sat down and ordered our culinary delights. The huge one sized bulalo was to die for, bone marrow was salivating, meat was super tender and the soup reminds me of honey in some sense. Their dinakdakan was sliced and presented in its usual sense, aromatic with the spices and pork fat that to me, defines what truly was an epicurean Filipino classic dish. Their "grilled squid" was sliced perfectly and tasted like no other, chewy but tasty, squiddy but came with a combination of spices that reminds me of the sea. The tilapia was mainstream, grilled perfectly but and with fresly cut tomatoes and onions which enriched the usual restaurant menu. I can go on and on but the beauty of Tagaytay was in its View To A Kill, mist laden but as the sun came to slowly diminish the fog, a paradise of sorts appeared from the front of the restaurant like a gods was of Athena on a bright morning day. So, if you're in the Philippines, head to Leslie's Restaurant in Tagaytay and mix in with the crowd who come from all over towns and countries to enhance their culinary experiences in a nation of maikling and happy people. Oh one more observation, the servers were great, smiling as always, kind and knowledgeable about the dishes they serve... TGIS was an important part of the experience, too. So, as I go back home to California, I feel am truly richer than yesterday and more content with my visit of the Philippines with this stimulating culinary experience!

Service is good... the wait staff are nice. I feel like they could do better as far as cleanliness. There was a lot of flies that we couldn't really enjoy our meal coz we were too busy trying to make sure they don't land on our food. Bathroom was a little stinky. I feel that it's not worth driving here thru traffic from Manila and you're not even sure if you can get in... it's hard to find parking at noon so either come early or late but don't come at noon. I was gonna give it 3 stars but the wait staff were nice... they deserve another star.

AMBIENCE We ate near the entrance on the second floor and it…read morewas very cold! Entrance is wheelchair-friendly. Seating partitions further inside had a nice birdcage-shaped look to them. FOOD We availed Package 2 that was good for at least ten hungry customers, and all three parts of our long table were covered. We only added Sisig in a Pouch as extra. Sisig in a Pouch and Tinapa Roll Wrapped in Lettuce were excellent with a crunchy wrapper packing pleasingly flavorful experiences. Boneless Pata Special didn't feel that special because the skin wasn't that crunchy, but it did taste good. Crispy Boneless Tilapia was cut up nicely, leaving fish chunks ready for dipping into 4 sauces, while the rest of the fish was for display. Kare Kare Beef and Tripe were tender and terrific with bagoong (shrimp paste). Laing 2 Ways was excellent though I only tried it "1 Way." Pinatayong Manok was just okay but my companions said it tasted like honey chicken. Swahe on the Rocks were small but fresh. Since Kare Kare and Sisig in a Pouch already had bagoong, I didn't eat that much Bagoong Rice anymore. We spotted something mysterious in the Kare Kare but we gave it to one of the servers and he said he'll let the others know. I hope they found out what it was and how it got there in the first place. SERVICE I enjoyed watching our servers prep the Pinatayong Manok and Swahe on the Rocks on the side of our table; made the food more appetizing. We received friendly smiles and the occasional proactive water refill. The tiny pouch our server donned was very intriguing!

This was a pleasant discovery when the hubby had a company activity in Seda Hotel Nuvali. We were…read morein search for a new restaurant to try and Caldo in the Fiesta Mall was the first to catch our eye. It's perfect as we had our fur babies with us and they have outside seating. Browsing the menu, you can get a feel that it has been well though of They have a good selection of vegetables and meat dishes. They all looked so good that it was hard to settle with just a few. We started out with some appetizers in the fashion of Filipino street food with the gambas+longanisa and satay sampler. But even prior to that, we were given bread with pate while waiting for our orders. We couldn't decide on what to order so we got both the chicken and chorizo rice and garlic aligue rice with chicharron. We matched these with the grilled beef belly and ox tail and trip kare kare. As if these were not enough, we also sampled the paksiw na boneless bangus belly with roasted coconut. Unlike the traditional paksiw with the more prominent sour taste of the vinegar, I liked this better because the coconut added some sweetness to it. Because we loved it so much and we didn't get to taste the pork belly, we came back for a second time. We again had the same set of rice, but this time we made sure we had the roast pork belly with tamarind rub. we were not able to try it the first time as we were too early. Apparently it takes a lot of time to prepare and does not get available until after noon. We also had the laing con alamang fresco. I like laing and this, I love. It can be on the expensive side. But the portions are adequate. This is now a favorite spot for me and the hubby

They have plenty of parking behind the restaurant. We ordered Binagoongan (shrimp paste) lechon kawali (pork belly), crispy fried bangus and tortang patola. The lechon kawali was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Never thought shrimp paste would go well with it but it does. Bangus was well marinated and tasty. Crispy on the outside. Tortang patola was ok. I've typically had it as eggplant rather than patola. Still prefer eggplant version. Last but not least it's least was their Halo Halo. This is what they are known for. It is different from other Halo Halo I've had before. They included sweet potato and milk was fresh. I can see why it's popular. Highly recommend to try and a great way to end the meal.
