The space is too small, and it was very cramped seating. I was not able to face the stage where i was sitting. The lounge is on the upper floor and not handicap accessible. The pork sisig was disappointing. We usually order a party tray and it was really good. The sizzling plate in the restaurant had lots of fat and no meat. We even ordered 2 sisig and same thing all fat. The pork bbq was really good with a nice thick layer of sweet savory bbq sauce. There were some unedible pieces of fat, but overall, it was a good appetizer. The hot wings were crispy and juicy and nice, sweet chili dipping sauce to compliment them. The wings were not spicy at all. The menu is QR code scan using your mobile device. The server was taking orders using a tablet point of sale device. They are licensed to serve alcohol and you can order buckets of beer, wine, and cocktails. The live entertainment was pretty interactive, and they invited some people from my group to sing along karaoke style with the band. If live music and karaoke are your favorite way to enjoy a night out, then this place might be for you. For me, the tight seating arrangements and some subpar food offerings left something to be desired. The beer buckets are quite pricey and if you are looking for Red Horse, they do serve the tall boy cans here. Expect to pay a premium for the import beers. We drank Stella Artois. The total bill, including 5 x $10 cover charge came up to $280. It was very expensive considering the food we ate and 2 buckets of beer. If you are looking for a local Filipino karaoke bar, then this place might be a good place

Ended up staying for lunch instead because why not celebrate Canada's Filipino Heritage Month with some Filipino eats and since we have none by us. We decided to try the Filipino BBQ and lumpia with some rice. Let's just say the food was so good we didn't get a chance to even take a photo lol. The BBQ was flavorful and enjoyably better than other Filipino BBQs we've tried back in NY. We would definitely want to come back here again next time we're in town. Everyone was friendly in there and greeted us open arriving and leaving. They also have other treats there like halo halo, Filipino ice cream, pandesal, ensaymada, kutschinta, and more. Definitely worth checking out if you're ever in the area.

I've eaten here in the past and enjoyed their crispy fried chicken. This visit, however, was a bit different. The chicken, while not terrible, didn't taste as freshly cooked as in past visits. Maybe the oil needed to be changed? The fries were just awful. They were just soft and soggy, even though I watched them being cooked so I know they were freshly made. At least I was able to take advantage of their Monday/Tuesday special of $5.99 for 2pcs with fries. Did they have an off-day, or has their quality gone down? Hmmm...

This restaurant has a small hot table and they also make noodle soup called "Lomi". There's a small dining area good for maybe 10 people max. We ordered 2 beef pares noodles (large) $14.99 and one combo meal 2 $12.99 with a choice of 2 meat (pork or chicken), steamed rice and bottled water. Portion wise, the combo meal was a little bit small but understandable for businesses trying to navigate through tough times. We got the bicol Express and another pork dish with shrimp paste. The pork used in these dishes were very fatty so unfortunately, most of the meat was not edible. A little more attention to the meat selection will go a long way for patrons to enjoy their hot table food. The highlight was the beef pares noodles soup. Took some time for them to prepare it, but well worth the wait. The broth was satisfying, and noodles cooked extra soft for my mother-in-law. The beef brisket was tender and seasoned well. Overall, it was a nice first experience at this local restaurant . I will visit again soon when craving some chicken Lomi or beef pares. The owner and staff were very friendly and treated you like family. Well done.

Tried a few things and there was more than enough food for 4 adults and 2 kids. This place has this Kamayan platter box that has good variety and is great for sharing. Will get to that later. Also this was take out so went to pick it up. First thing they suggested was the Caldereta Royale. This was a poutine but with stewed beef, carrots and peas and gravy. Quite tasty. Next we got a fried adobo chicken on rice also pretty good. Chicken was crispy and I was smelling it all the way home and couldn't wait to dive in when I got home. Now for the main, we ordered the Kamayan box that we saw on instagram. 5 different proteins, bed of seasoned rice, nice shrimps and fried eggs. Everything worked really well together. My parents were over and they ate with us, never trying Filipino food before. They loved it. The flavours and the sauce that came with it... Just delicious, and a must try. Food was more than enough for all of us, and I have left overs for lunch tomorrow. The staff here are super nice people. Patient with me as I couldn't decide what to order and through our great ideas. Also gave me something for free to try which was delicious as well. Would definitely be going back, amazing experience.

We got fried fish fillets, beef caldereta, Filipino spaghetti, and roasted chicken. They have state of the art sound equipment and lights.

Be sure check their website for details. Thank you Elevate Lounge for hosting my sister-in-law's birthday party.

This AI helps: Sort and analyze complaints Detect patterns (e.g., common issues) Speed up resolution times (reportedly improved by 50%+) So AI is helping internally, not necessarily talking to you directly. I am writing to formally document the issues we experienced during our visit to the Jollibee Ajax location. Our order came out to be like 164.94$ after taxes. We came to pick up the food and get on the road. I wanted to eat there so that the food would be fresh and hot. The only good thing that was hot was the chicken. The Angus burger was served cold and dry. We also ordered 24 pieces of Jolly Chicken -- 12 regular and 12 spicy --, but the buckets were not labelled or distinguished in any way. When I approached a staff member to ask which buckets were spicy, she initially pointed to a toothpick that was not there. I had to insist before she checked the receipt, consulted the manager, and corrected the order. Additionally, fries were missing from one of the combos. The manager, who was responsible for dispatching and packing the order, never acknowledged the mistake or offered an apology. Neither did any other staff member. That was not the reaction a manager should be having. They should be taking care of it themselves and apologizing for the error on their part. The thing that really makes me feel like we are not guests at the location is that we are just a number with $$$ on top of our heads. We were ready to take the order and go. If we did, there would be a lot more upset people who gave money to taste the food. We would have turned back to drive all the ways there. For sure, there will definitely be a huge complaint. Surprisingly, there were no apologies from the staff either. Funny thing is, I was doing a review of the food and service. It probably won't be that great due to the circumstances. I told myself not to post anything, maybe he can do a review another time after we speak to them. I guess not. During our wait for our food, a white Caucasian man said I do not usually do this and it's my first time here, but my burger inside was cold. I'm sure your manager on duty can recall this complaint. How can we ensure that this situation does not happen to anyone else, and what steps will you take to make things right? It has now been 12 days without any response or communication from the store. This is incredibly disappointing. Even with advanced technologies like AI, they still do not reach out to their customers after 12 days and counting. They should take an example from McDonald's, which is known for effectively addressing customer complaints.

The food was pretty good and was refilled by the staff. The fried chicken, beef caldereta, fish fillets, and pancit bihon were my favourites. The service was friendly, and they did a great job preparing the venue and food. Kudos to the hard-working staff.
