The smoke to the BBQ pork and chicken as well as even in the eggplant and shrimp was perfect. Seemed to be plenty of food for a group of 7.

Seating on the couches were a little uncomfortable and despite a large table it was still very crowded. Great sit down for family gathering though.

Chito's Burger is an okay burger that reminds me of Tropical Hut, except the bread's pandesal…read moreinstead. Quality control is needed because there was a hair strand sandwiched between the bread and sesame seed. The pattie doesn't taste unique. Rapsa Supreme Pizza was a light and simple Pinoy-style pizza down to the crust. Simply feeling the dough reminded me of the local recipe and there's always room for that in the belly. Toppings appeared to be olives, onions, bell peppers, ham, mushrooms, pineapple, and maybe one more meaty ingredient. I would order this again but prefer adding one more dish and sharing in a group. Wedges are like mojos but with a lighter colored coating. These were much better than the burger and are easily enhanced by the dip. The variety of their menu reminds me of Buddy's because they have steaks, burgers, noodles, and rice meals + shakes and a candy corner concept that includes well-known chocolates like Hershey's kisses. Service was good and waiting time was fair. (April 2018)

If you happen to stumble on this hidden gem in Lucena, you have to stop in. The restaurant is…read moretucked away behind an old antique shop which gives this place an old world ambiance. This is an outdoor-ish type restaurant, so don't expect air conditioning and white linen. Nonetheless, it's gorgeous and comfortable in its own special way. A wonderful treat for the palette, Filipino / Quezon provincial delicacies at its best for your tummy to enjoy. The food takes a while but totally worth the wait, I'm not sure if the food is prepared fresh when you order it, but nonetheless, it was well worth the extra wait. The view from the main dining area is beautiful, a stream running just below, with beautiful trees and a mountain as the backdrop as the cool breeze runs through. The servers are friendly and always helpful with a smile. The service overall is OK. The food: Binagoongan: a house specialty: I haven't had this dish prepared so well before today. The skin of the pork was crispy and meat was tender. The dish was not overly salty considering its contents. I'm no expert on Filipino cuisine because of my inexperience with it specifically, yet this is one of my favorite dishes overall, just superb to the palette. Chima: noodles which are stir fried with vegetables and meat: dish was very good, noodles had a perfect al dente texture which is rare for me here in the Philippines, noodles are usually cooked all the way through making them soft. Delicious! Pako Salad: my first time to have this: One of the best salads I've ever had. I cannot quite describe the taste, the greens were fresh, crisp, and I'm not sure if it's the vinegar based dressing or the greens themselves, but I enjoyed this salad throughly! Topped with onions, tomatoes, and salted egg, who would have thought this salad is one of the best I've ever had. Must must try! Halo halo: The ice is smooth and not chunky, so right off the bat, there's something going right here. The milk they used or cream was a coconut base, of course! We're in Quezon the coconut capital. Overall just a simply fantastic put together dessert. Whether you have room for dessert or not, you have to try this as well. Overall, 4 stars. The food alone does it for me, the rest was pretty much negligible. Simply awesome food!!! Al la cuisine! Stay hungry!

The food is prepared well, and the view is gorgeous. I'm from the U.S., so for other foreigners,…read moreplease don't expect nice bathroom facilities. Also, someone is raising chickens nearby, so sometimes you get wafts of that. Of course, there are mosquitoes, since the place is outside. With that said, if you want a great take on Filipino food, I would definitely recommend this place. Egg rolls, pinakbet, and the pako salad were all great. Wasn't the biggest fan of their version of Halo-halo--I could have used a bit more variety in the mixings, so it was average for me. The view of the river and the forest around is spectacular. The waiters were nice. Again, the food is the thing at this place. I wasn't disappointed. Also, the place is kind of hard to find. Don't trust your smartphone GPS. Good luck. The compound on which the restaurant is located is interesting: some kind of antique shop with beautiful plants and trees and a well. It's definitely a memorable place. There weren't many people around when I visited, so the antique areas were cool/creepy to see.

Who doesn't enjoy flying and dining 38,000 feet in the air? Well you can at Air Summit Gourmet in…read moreQuezon City (minus the flying part). You can't miss the airplane-themed restaurant as it's an aircraft clearly visible from the road, perched on a hill, almost seeming and yearning to take flight. Your airline dining experience begins after you park your vehicle. As you enter, you're welcomed into the reservations lounge area where you make your selection from their menu. There were six of us and we ordered fried calamari, baked potato soup, penne arrabbiata, and beef and pork entree. The portions were large enough that we could share. After you've ordered and waited a while, your name is announced on the PA system (just like at an airport) and you're escorted by a flight attendant on board the plane and to your seat. If you're an AvGeek like me, you're boarding and dining on board a Boeing 737 which is a short to medium range twinjet narrow-body airliner. Having toured Boeing in Seattle, Washington (USA), "If it ain't Boeing, I ain't going!" So, all the more reason to dine at the only airplane restaurant in the Philippines, diba? Since we were the only ones dining, service was attentive; there were at least 3 or 4 assisting. We forgot how much we ordered because it seemed like the food kept coming. Everything was good and the ambiance was incredible. This is definitely one-of-a-kind in Quezon City.

Customer service is very friendly and attentive. Food was good but man, they don't have AC so it was hard to eat especially, hot foods and soup. I would say I was drooling with sweat and I was sticking to the chair. ;p It just so happen to be hot and humid outside. Windows and doors were all open. They did have a fan but was not enough. I had to drink a lot. Bathroom is unisex and they do not provide tissue so recommend to always bring in your purse when in the Philippines. =} We ordered: Ripe Mango shake - has milk and was good. I had two of these cuz it was hot. Pork Sinigang - it was very good and the first time to see jack fruit in the soup. Will have to try this at home. Fried chicken - good Pinakbet - good Pancit - good Shrimp - sautéed with veggies Sweet potatoes - forgot what his was called but it was covered with cooked mayo. It was sweet and good. Veggie plate Pork Binagoongan - was pretty good but small portion I would come back if they have AC...haha.

You can park in front of the restaurant but space can be limited since it's along the main road,…read moreBUT they have more across the street. There's a sign indicating where it is. Their family-owned business is a sure place to visit when we head to their province. Filipino food is served there and they have HUGE fishes! Everything is delicious so far: meats, seafood, and vegetables. They also have some space for events. Interior is lovely so make sure to bring a camera! If you want to bring home some notable pasalubong, go for their bagoong or shrimp paste. (usually partnered with green mangoes) It's in a giant glass jar and the size did overwhelm me a bit. Expect service charge.

Overall just average. The ambiance might be nice for some, but I'm used to going to "The…read moreCharthouse" in Laguna Beach, so this is quite different. The location is quite hard to find but easily accessible on the "Waze" gps app. Tucked away on a cliff this restaurant offers seaside dining with cabanas over the water. However the place looks like it needs a good cleaning and looks a little run down. The service is a little bit weird, because of the locations of the cabanas to the kitchen they have you order at the top and bring it down to you. There are servers at the bottom and near the dining area, but they're not so attentive. The food: Lapu-lapu: quite good, a little bland, but that's the way steamed fish is. Same quality as you would find in any typical Chinese restaurant. Ostrich: was quite good, but I didn't have enough of it to write a detailed review. Scallops: ditto on the fish, around average you could find at almost any other middle of the road restaurant. Seafood chowder: this was pretty decent, although quite honestly I would have preferred a bowl of some good clam chowder. Overall, the food was middle of the road, nothing memorable in my personal opinion. The view was nice, so I guess that's why people come here. Al la cuisine! Stay hungry my friends!

The first morning I had silog with tamarind chicken and pork asada, and lots of crispy Danggit! The congee was amazing! U added every topping possible plus fresh calamansi juice! Also had lychee chia pudding one morning and blueberry the next. The lycée was absolutely delicious! We consumed heaps of the most delicious dragon fruit. Now onto the pastries!! One morning they had bread and butter pudding squares and the other morning they had taisan bread. Both were so scrumptious!! Our server Harven was a delight! Friendly, got us warm milk, and answered my 6 million questions! We also took pictures in the back patio that overlooked Laguna de Bay. Beautiful views in every direction. They also had pineapple and mango jam! New jam flavors to me that were delicious on my cream cheese filled French toast. My husband also tries the miso ramen and the fresh salad with a great sesame dressing. In other words, we ate everything, everyone was so friendly and the views are incredible.

Though it operates as a rooftop bar and restaurant, they also offer buffet breakfast for in-house guests. FOOD: 3/5 The overall food selection was quite limited, primarily a mix of Filipino, American, Chinese and other International dishes. The food was decent but could have been better overall. SERVICE: 5/5 I noticed that most of the servers were male while a few female staff at the food counter. Regardless, all of them were attentive, polite, and efficient. AMBIANCE: 4/5 Being at the rooftop, the restaurant provides a full view of the city. I can only imagine how much more stunning these views at night with the city lights. It also features a mini pool - not for use but aesthetically for decor which I believe needs a little polishing and renovation. Overall, the buffet breakfast at The Nest did its job - it fill us up in the morning, though I wished there was a wider selection. And I take my hats off to the staff at The Nest - their service were on point!
