Waterside Restobar, true to its name, is right beside Solaire's swimming pool, which also overlooks Manila Bay. (Overkill, planning guys? It's more Watersurrounded Restobar, more than anything else...) Restobar also sounds.. kind of cheap, doesn't it? Ah well, anyway!
They've got REALLY good sisig. I am not kidding you. Honestly, what do they put in it?? I know that sisig is a fairly straight forward dish (and fairly unhealthy, putok batok as well), but I've never had any sisig that good! Just that sisig with a plain cup of rice will be okay. (Going with the restobar theme, I see!)
But seriously, I was surprised that Waterside even offered sisig on their menu because... it's one of Solaire's fancier eats. (Like how surprised would you be if the corner carinderia suddenly had caviar, or something.) Waterside has high ceilings (As is common with most of the restaurants in Solaire) and is sleek, modern all black and whites and heavy (marble?) tables.
Another favorite from waterside is their surf and turf with ribs and prawns! No regrets. They'll also come with your choice of sides. I personally LOVED the shredded asparagus with cheese. All the other sides were just okay, as are the rest of their menu.We always order the paella too (the one with lobsters and the squid ink one), completely normal if you ask me. If there are left overs, you can even ask the chef to toast the remaining paella to give it that yummy, burnt flavor.
While most of the food I've tried at Waterside is okay, not so mind blowing, I'm rating them a 4/5 (instead of my original 3) because of their service. The waitstaff and managers would really bend over backwards to make your meal with them, a pleasurable one.
Don't forget to tip or put in a comment or two for anyone who's performance is above and beyond! Might make or break the next promotion, after all. read more
