The flavor was consistent throughout and easy to chew. My only suggestion is for the kare kare portion that we ordered to have MORE vegetables; ours had way too much sauce, not enough chinese long beans. My Tita said "Great Service" especially for reminding her and honoring her senior discount

Whether you're in a group of 10 or just a table of two, they have seating for you. The inside is also one of the cleanest I've seen in the Philippines! The wooden aesthetic and the widespread lighting inside the building helps add to the cleanliness of the place! Additionally, the place has a large bar area with multiple tv screens for parties interested in sharing a drink and watching any game on TV! Now the food! The food experience was amazing! The food orders are made to share so the portions are quite large and is perfect for groups and larger parties. Secondly the taste of the food was beautiful. Every item my family ordered danced on top of my taste buds! My favorite order was the Sisig. It was one of the crunchiest and tastiest spoons of sisig I have ever put in my Filipino body. I also appreciate that the sisig was not as fatty as other sisigs. Less fat and more crunch made the dish perfect . Other dishes such as the Kare-Kare, Pancit and Lechon Kawali were just as tasty . Overall my experience at Dencio's was awesome and I would definitely visit again

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.

You won't go wrong with a stop here!

We got to the restaurant when it first opened for lunch. It did fill up the small restaurant once we sat down. Everything was good. Some were a little salty like their diniguan. The pictures on their menu seem deceiving as some of the dishes did not look like what we received. I liked their Laing, lengua, crab paste with rice, veggies with tuyo, etc. I did not like their calamansi drink or fresh buko drink. The buko seemed to be opened already so the outside turn brown. Their desserts like mango and cream pie was very good with fresh mangoes on top but was missing the ingredients in the middle like in the menu image. Their halo-halo was good and big with lots of ingredients. If I am in the area, and can afford the calories, I would still come back! Yumm! [65/100]

My favorite: Crispy Tilapia - Whole small tilapias split in half and fried until crispy and golden brown. The texture was super enjoyable and it was accompanied by a delicious sauce. Worst item ordered: Kare-Kare - Walang lasa. Super bland. That was surprising to us considering the red hue. Also, why the heck was this kare-kare so red?! Most unique: Tuna sisig - I've enjoyed many different types of sisig but I've never encountered tuna sisig. It was tasty. Didn't have that crispy texture that I love so much but the flavor was nice. It has bones so be careful.

We took a day trip to visit friends in Tagaytay and decided to eat bulalo, the region's famous…read morespecialty. We chose Diner's because of its view of the Taal Volcano and valley between. We were greeted by all of the wait staff as soon as we entered. We were seated fairly quickly at a table with a fantastic view amidst the bright and airy dining room. After ordering, our food cane out quickly. We had the pork sisig, bulalo and tawalis with some steamed white rice. The sisig, chopped pork belly with red onions and spicy peppers was served to us sizzling on a hot cast iron plate. It didn't look exactly as pictured on the menu because the egg was already mixed into the dish instead of on top sunny side up. The bulalo came out on a steel pot with a burner at the bottom. The tawalis, mini fried fish, looked appetizing on top of a bed of lettuce, cucumber and tomato. All of our dishes tasted delicious. The sisig was pretty spicy because of all the chopped peppers but besides that it had a great combination of flavors that went well with the hot steamed rice. I thought the dish could have been pre-cooked just a little longer before it got to us or the skillet could have been even hotter though....was a little worried the pork didn't cook long enough. (This review was written several hours later and I'm happy to report there were no stomach issues!). The tawalis was ok. These were mini fish dusted with flour and fried. The batter was not heavy however I thought it could have had a little more seasoning. I dipped the fish in a calamansi/soy sauce mixture that helped a lot. You eat the fish whole...bones and all! The order came with twelve pieces and was plenty for our party of five. The star of the show, the bulalo, did not disappoint. Our order meant for four to five people was perfect. There were large chunks of beef shank and generous pieces of green cabbage immersed in the most amazing broth. The beef is slow cooked several hours so it is tender and oh so flavorful. It was a great experience eating the dish with a bit of steamed rice. It would have been perfect if there were a few more vegetables like potatoes and green beans. Overall we enjoyed our meal and thought the prices were reasonable. I would definitely come back the next time we are in the area!

But....view alone would not make us want to come back....as there are several other places with that same view. What will bring us back is the delicious local cuisine! We ordered the Special Bulalo. It's a hearty beef soup served in a clay pot. It's made with fresh beef shanks and bone marrow. It says it serves 2-3 people....I'd say 3 for sure if you're ordering even one more side dish. We also ordered Adobong Manor as Gata, a chicken Adobo slow cooked in coconut milk and soy sauce. It had a hint of ginger and was a bit salty, I ate it served over garlic rice.....very nice dish! Last but not least we ordered Christy Tawilis....fried sardines. Next time I'm getting the fresh coconut for my drink....the next table over ordered that and I instantly regretted my beer choice!

We decided to have a light dinner here and had their sisig dish which was a pork based stir fry with some peppers, sugars and other condiments that mixes well with the rice and other condiments. This was very tasty and perfect for our dinner menu. We also had their grilled Tanigue which was perfectly cooked, not burnt and not stale, which brought out the taste of the fish. They also served rice to complement these dishes, it was a perfect and complementary carb for us to enjoy what we call a light dinner. For dessert, we had their Halo-Halo, which was made perfectly well and included a cacophony of sweetened beans, sago and many other little combinations which encapsulated a summer cooking food for our palates. So, if you're in Tagaytay, you can't go wrong on Gerry's Grille, they do deliver the best food, in this part of the Philippines!
