Nice ambiance with cute decor. Food just okay in my opinion. The clear broth soup was really good…read morebut everything else we had was just okay. It has AC so that's nice. Big menu.

The two times we've been here, it's been marginal at best, but really, we won't return!…read more Not only are we trying to avoid the nutritional shortfalls - high fructose syrup, white flours and sugars, stale lettuce and food-coloured papaya strips - but to taste something that remotely resembles a decent American breakfast seems impossible: * Only the steamed eggs were as they should be. * The tough cold bacon had been re-heated after asking for it fresh and crispy. * With no toaster in sight they can't toast bread: found myself using a stiff waffle as toast to eat my eggs. Another guest tried to use their untoasted bread but left her eggs and bread on the plate. * The limp salad garnish on at least four plates was left untouched. * My wife's boneless bangus was passable but greasy and almost tasteless. * A thin slightly-hard stale weird potato-like mini-patty masqueraded as 'hash browns'. * The cook tried to present the meals well, but the actual food is more important. We won't ever go back to eat drek, and won't recommend it to you! Unfortunately, we don't know of an alternative in Iloilo anywhere, and so it's simply better to buy your own bacon and eggs, make your own hash browns, and toast some pretty good Nicolette Bakery bread at home.

I have not tried their bread but I have ordered several things from here including their pasta,…read morebeef dishes, pork dishes, pizzas, and their salmon. Prices are a bit on the high side compared to other restaurants inside the mall but I can say the quality has been consistently good. I have eaten inside about 3 or four times and the only food that wasn't very good was the salmon. It was a bit on the dry side. Everything else has been flavorful. As I have mentioned, I have not tried their bread but both my mom and dad always ask me to buy their multigrain bread for them whenever they know I am planning to visit. Whenever I get too lazy to go out because of the brutal heat (Philippine weather), I order via Grab. Tip your rider, people. I saw several wait for 20-30 minutes for orders while I was eating there.

Got to follow up on this review. I overrated it by 2 stars on my initial review…read more Why? The breads have fallen seriously off after the covid breakout: even my favourite multi-grain is less substantial. The 'sourdough' bread has no starter in it (the premix fermentation process that makes is sour and nicely-flavoured), and therefore is NOT sourdough bread at all. This dishonesty factor alone put us off! The meals have never been that good. I think owner Buboy the owner tries, but their slab-bacon breakfast is just fried fatty pork belly instead of smoked bacon. The huge black Angus burger looks great, but on the third time it just wasn't that tasty (maybe a different cook), and the other dishes are off. The only pasta we like is olive oil and garlic, but at home I can easily equal it. As well, the meals all are pricey compared to what you get. As I've found two better places for bread, we now don't go there for anything (you know, honesty does count for something!).
