The first thing you notice is, for a medium sized coffee and pastry restaurant, it had a super abundant number of servers and waiters. And they were all busy taking care or the customers. The menu items were wonderful. The parties were fresh and tasted great. The drinks prepared perfectly. Everything was presented nicely by smiling staff members. It's hard to pick just one or two items we enjoyed. There were four of us and we had a great time at reasonable prices. Give it a try if you're in GB3.

Love the tree right in the middle by the door but it's not real. Great place to dine with family, friends or solo. Stopped in early and it wasn't busy at all. Only one other table. Staff were friendly. The restaurant emphasizes organic ingredients, healthy & comfort food. I ordered the Garden Omelette with roasted potatoes. The garden omelette included eggs, cherry tomatoes, shiitake mushrooms, kale, spinach, fresh parsley, sauteed garlic and onions. Everything was so fresh and it was definitely quality. Loved their house made ketchup. It was so good. I also tried the halo halo and it was so good. Really good size too.

The food was okay, we had truffle fries, pork chop and this pasta which is cream based and we had a salad and calamari for appetizer then we had a carrot cake for dessert!

When asking around about where we could get a good quality steak in Manila, the first place…read morerecommended by most people is Elbert's. Elbert's just happens to be walking distance from our place so I was thrilled to hear it came so highly recommended. It's hard to find a decent steak so I was skeptical at first. The environment and décor in Elbert's is typical of a steakhouse, dark, plush and very masculine. It could pass for a cigar lounge, but thankfully no smoking is allowed. It had been recommended to me that we share a steak because of the sheer size, but my husband was starving so he insisted on getting his own steak. You begin with a starter, soup or salad, then your steak (why get anything else?) and sides. Medium rare is the way to go. My husband went with medium and his steak was over cooked. Most steakhouses tend to cook medium rare perfectly, but Elbert's cooks medium rare like a typical restaurant, slightly pink, more like medium. Don't make the mistake! We both ordered ribeye's because let's be honest, they are they best. Tenderloin's can be too soft and without texture. With a ribeye, you get just enough marbling to flavor the steak while giving it that buttery texture. That's definitely what we got. The steak's didn't look that big to our eyes, but because of the richness of the steak and the starter we ended up going home with a doggy bag equivalent to a full-sized steak! Although it's pricier than your average restaurant it's quite a filling meal and worth the splurge, especially since you can make steak and eggs the next day! A plus: you can bring your own wine.

I came here under the recommendation of a YouTube video that prized this place for serving prime…read morerib on a trolley. I will say this place is an absolute disappointment. I ordered the ribeye that costs 4300 pesos that is 86 US Dolllars. That is more expensive than Ruth Chris, capital grille, Morton's, and any high class buffet in Manila (spiral, Vikings, etc). I am from the USA, and the quality of the steak that I was served is comparable to that of a roadside dinner, Denny's, or even ihop. The cut was not tender at all, the flavor was flat: they over seasoned the steak to compensate for the lack of quality in the meat. Shame on me for even spending close to $100 that should have been $10 at any reasonable restaurant. This place is absolute garbage, but the staff were all great. Beware of this place, they serve mediocre cuts of meat. None of it is USDA Prime or Choice meats, it is "US SUPER" "US Prime" like what even is that. ABSOLUTE GARBAGE, highway robbery at its finest folks.

Ordered the gambas, chorizo, salpicado, chicken parmigiana, and salad. Food was okay overall, but honestly not the reason you'd go back. The gambas and chorizo worked best with the concept, while the salpicado and chicken parmigiana were decent but not particularly memorable. Nothing bad, but nothing you'd specifically crave either. Giving it a 3/5 because while the ambience is strong, the food doesn't really elevate the experience enough to make it a 4. It feels more like a place where people gather for drinks, conversation, and atmosphere, and just happen to eat there, rather than somewhere you purposely go for the food itself. Service is decent

We came in here for a quick drink before our check in hotel time at 3PM and had a couple of shots of vodka to start the day off with some food. We went ahead and had the reuben sandwhich and beef tartae. The Reuben bread was perfectly buttered and grilled to perfection. The fillings for the sandwich was a hefty amount of pastrami layered with saurkraut. The sandwich also came with fries as well and were perfectly fried and salted. The beef tartae was also very good but different and wasnt used to eating raw beef but when asked for some bread and I dipped the bread with the meat and sauce is was extremely appetizing! Pablo was a great bar to attend in a Hotel and ill definitely come back again for some more drinks and food. The bartenders were extremely nice and provided top notch customer service. I loved the vibe and ambiance this place offers and the drinks and food were all at a affordable price and didnt break the bank.

The restaurant itself has a great vibe!!! lively but not too loud. The staff were really friendly and helpful, especially since I wasn't too familiar with Filipino dishes.

It was nice that our room included a free breakfast buffet. I started off the breakfast buffet with a nice strong cup of coffee. I needed something to wake me up, after having a food coma from their dinner buffet the night before. I thoroughly enjoyed the Filipino breakfast dishes. My husband was happy that they had bagels with smoked salmon and cream cheese. I happen to love tocino, and I immediately gravitated toward that choice. I tried the two different types of longanisa, but I enjoyed the tocino more. The danggit (small fried fish) was salty and crispy. The spicy vinegar helped in toning down the saltiness of the danggit. Although there were Japanese, Chinese, and Mediterranean breakfast dishes, I just couldn't resist the tocino. I thought that I was finished eating breakfast by ending it with fresh fruit, but someone that was sitting next to us had taho. I ended my breakfastwith taho (silken tofu with arrival and sago). I previously mentioned that I had their dinner buffet, but I spent most of my time enjoying the Peking duck, tempura, sashimi, and sushi. My husband on the other hand enjoyed a little bit of everything. He had a couple different types of soup. He tried everything at the carving station. He had a chef cooking shrimp and steak on the grill. He made a couple trips to the sashimi and sushi station. I was very surprised to see him with numerous desserts. That's usually me! I ended my dinner with an affogato (two scoops of Davao dark chocolate gelato with a shot of espresso). We're planning to celebrate my husband's birthday dinner here.

Escolta at The Peninsula Manila: Buffet Review by Tina…read more I recently tried Escolta, the buffet restaurant inside The Peninsula Manila. It's positioned as a Filipino buffet, but the selection felt more international with random touches. What's on the buffet: * Filipino dishes: mahi-mahi, grilled seafood, classic viands * Japanese corner: sushi, maki, katsudon * Grill station: you can ask them to grill seafood or meat * Carving station: they serve lamb and other roasts * Desserts: wide selection of native delicacies like maja blanca, plus sorbets and ice cream (even soba ice cream) * Bread and cheese are also available, but nothing stood out Price: * I couldn't confirm the exact buffet rate, but it's somewhere around ₱3,500-₱4,500 per head. You can check their current rates online or via the hotel concierge. Ambience and service: * Elegant hotel setting as expected * Staff are very attentive and polite * Quiet, well-maintained dining space, not too crowded when I went My verdict: * The variety felt a bit confused. It says Filipino buffet, but the highlight was the Japanese and grill stations * Food was decent, but not something I'd personally pay over ₱4,000 for * Would I go back? Only if I'm treated or attending a special occasion * For the price, there are better buffet experiences in Manila (Circles in Shang mkt , The Alley at Conrad, or even Nobu brunch)
