Gerry's at Nuvali Solenad Mall provided a quick, efficient dining experience with mostly well-executed Filipino comfort food. While not every dish was a standout, the overall quality and service made it worth the visit.
We tried the Pancit Canton, Caldereta, Lumpia Shanghai, Chicken Kebabs, and Pork Adobo Fried Rice. The Pancit Canton was excellent--more on the saucy side, which I like better than the drier style. The Pork Adobo Fried Rice was easily one of the best dishes of the night, with tender, well-seasoned pork and perfectly cooked rice. The Chicken Kebabs were another highlight, featuring a wonderful grilled, charred smokiness that really elevated the dish.
The Lumpia Shanghai was solid--crispy and well-seasoned--but it wasn't a standout compared to the other dishes. The only minor disappointment was the Caldereta, which had a good sauce and flavor, but they left the bones in the dish, and some of the meat was a bit gristly. I know leaving the bones in is more of a preference issue for me because some people like the bones left in.
Despite the minor letdown with the Caldereta, I'd definitely return for the quick service and overall great food. If you're craving Filipino classics in a casual setting, Gerry's at Nuvali is a great choice! read more
