Servings were family style, however, the Green Beef Curry, which they said was good for two, was not really. I am a bigger guy but even my small wife thought it was not enough for more than one person. The taste was great and so we overlooked the amount. The Bagoong Rice with Roasted Pork was right on when they said it was good for 2-3 people. It didn't have as much bagoong flavor as I personally like but still very good. For dessert, we got the Mango Sticky Rice with the coconut milk on the side. I dont know if they actually used sticky rice because it wasn't like other sticky rices we have eaten before. Flavor-wise though, it was sat. Next is the service. We came in with only one other active table and so we were seated immediately and our table was set soon after. Our orders were taken as soon as we called and the wait for the food was not long. I just have a couple of complaints with the service. One, the waitress should have been more attentive when it came to the little things. For example, filling the water glass, which I think is very basic. Towards the middle and end of our meal it got pretty busy and so I can understand that they were short handed but at the beginning of the meal the waitress passed by our table several times and did nothing. I recommend the waitresses be trained so they ask how the meal is going and to refill drinks without being prompted. The second complaint is the staffing. They had two waitresses. One was on point but the second one was not- she was who complaint number one was about. It was awkward as well when at the peak of dinner, when they had a couple large parties, a few parties of four and a few couples eating, the second waitress was on the phone for a couple of minutes and then left for about ten minutes leaving the other waitress by herself. Lastly, the price was reasonable. Everything on the menu, from appetizers to desserts were prices from about 150-400 pesos. Since the servings were meant to be family style, the meal wont break the bank. For us, the Bagoong Rice, Curry, Mango dessert, and service charge was about PHP 800. Overall, it was a good experience and maybe on a different night it would have been an excellent. We will definitely come back to try more things on the menu.

The rooftop setting is stunning, featuring elegant water features and the option to dine either outdoors under the skyline or indoors while still enjoying the rooftop atmosphere. The views alone make this place worth visiting, especially in the evening when the city lights come alive. The food was excellent. We sampled a variety of Filipino dishes, all beautifully prepared and elevated with thoughtful, upscale twists while still respecting the local flavors. A special mention goes to our server, Bon, who was outstanding throughout the evening. Attentive, professional, and genuinely welcoming, he helped make an already memorable experience even better. Soft live music was on, and it added to the experience. Between the incredible atmosphere, beautiful setting, delicious food, and exceptional service, this is a place I would happily recommend to anyone looking for a special night out in Manila.

While technically indoors, the restaurant opens its large sliding doors in the evening, creating a cool, breezy, open-air feel that makes the space both comfortable and memorable. It's easy to understand why so many couples choose this venue for date nights and proposals. The atmosphere alone is worth the visit. Since we came for an early dinner, we mostly ordered appetizers and dishes for sharing. We started with the Seafood Clam Chowder served in a bread bowl. It was decent and comforting, nothing particularly memorable, but certainly not bad. The Sisig Lumpia was unfortunately the weakest dish of the evening. Good sisig should have some crispness and texture, but this version lacked that signature crunch and came across as overly oily. It was the one dish I probably wouldn't order again. On the brighter side, the Pinchos drizzled with balsamic reduction were flavorful and enjoyable. The Beef Nachos were the star of the savory dishes, generously portioned, satisfying, and perfect for sharing. For dessert, we had the Frozen Brazo de Mercedes, which was a great way to end the meal and easily one of the highlights of our order. Service was excellent throughout. The staff were attentive, warm, and professional, making sure everything flowed smoothly without being intrusive. While the food this visit was a bit mixed, the stunning views, romantic ambiance, and impeccable service continue to make The Nest a place worth returning to. I've dined here before and remember some of their entrées being much stronger than the appetizers we ordered this time, so I'd happily come back and explore more of the menu. The food may not be flawless, but the experience certainly is. For the view, ambiance, and service alone, The Nest earns a solid 4 out of 5 star

For a first time visit, the dining experience wasn't to our expectations or we came at a bad time. When we arrived, there was no one to seat us in the main dining area, so we just stood there and waited. It was not busy, only one table with a few people was occupied. We saw employees in the back gathered together just talking. They looked at us, but kept talking for awhile until, finally, a guy helped us. He wasn't welcoming or offered any assistance. We had to ask questions. Right away, we got bad vibes here, and said the hype on this place is very misleading. Anyway, we ordered fried crispy bangus, steamed rice, chop suey and buko pandan. The bangus wasn't as crispy and the chop suey had too much cornstarch in it that made the sauce too thick - gross. Only positive is the nice parking attendant who guided us parking the car and holding an umbrella above my head from the heat and extreme sun. This place is a big NO for us. The place wasn't hard to find and the gardens are nice. They had a large snake, I think a boa or python in a cage for those who want to be amused.

The fried rice tasted like leftover food from a previous event--cold, clumpy, and unappetizing. The crispy crab was overly salty, the pinakbet was watery and lacked flavor, and to top it off, the buko juice was warm. Service was equally disappointing; we waited over an hour for our food, and the staff seemed indifferent. Overall, a complete letdown. I won't be coming back.

Their main attraction now is their exotic dishes: goat, frog, mole cricket, crocodile, and even ostrich. My cousins were visiting from out of town, a couple of them even came all the way from the Middle East! They wanted to eat Kapampangan food, so naturally, I brought them here. Before entering, we had to show them our Covid vaccine certificates then we were led to a long table that would accommodate our big group. Dining is al fresco so no air con, just fans. We excitedly ordered the following: - Mango shake was good - Pinapaitang Kambing - goat in bile soup. I'm not a fan of pinapaitan in the first place; but my Ilocano dad would love this. Much better with a squeeze of kalamansi. - Kamaru - mole crickets. The crickets still had some crunch to them and were cooked in a delicious garlic soy based sauce. This was everyone's favorite dish. - Betute - field frogs stuffed with minced pork and deep fried. I didn't try this. - Fried Hito (catfish) with buru (fermented rice) - loved the catfish but didn't like the buru. - Pork sisig was ok. - Leche Flan was ok - Turon with home made buko ice cream was DELISH!!!!! The wait staff were dressed as safari guides. They were knowledgeable of their menu, which made ordering easier. After we enjoyed our meal, we walked over to The Paris Cafe to take pictures in front of a replica of the Eiffel tower. The Wooden Table and Cafe BOM are also located in the same compound. My family had a great time, I'm sure we'll be back to try their other exotic offerings.
