    If you're looking for prime beef, you came to the right place. But don't order the end cut because…read moreit'll be tough. But a medium or medium rare cut should do just fine.

    Today is January 1 so we thought of going out for a steak lunch. Our favorite go-to steak places…read moreare Mamou in Rockwell/Serendra/Podium, Ruth's Chris in BGC, Cru at Marriott, Elbert's in Salcedo Village and Melo's in Burgos Circle. But I saw some pictures posted by a San Francisco restaurateur friend about Gulliver's Prime Rib in Quezon City. So, despite the fact that it was quite far from where we lived in BGC, we decided to take the leap, thinking that the traffic going north would not be too bad with today being a Sunday. Sure enough, the traffic wasn't bad. And the location and ambiance of the place was as described in a previous review. And we were even surprised that there were quite a number of people at the place for lunch. So obviously, it was good enough to have a regular clientele. And so, we went to town and ordered the works: Gulliver's Tid Bits and Crispy Almond Duck for appetizers, Caesar Salad, Clam Chowder and French Onion soup to start, Rib Eye, Gulliver's Cut, English Cut, even an End Cut for our main. One even dared to order a Fresh Lapulapu and a Grilled Sea Bass. We also asked for the wine list and we found it very inexpensive, but acceptable. The appetizers were nothing to cry to mommy about. But the French Onion soup and the Clam Chowder were good. The Caesar salad was passable. And the prime rib cuts except for the end cut were also passable. The end cut was too tough to chew and digest so I would recommend that you stay away from it. The prime rib has to be medium rare. Would we go back? Most likely not. It's too far to go for a so-so steak meal when there are so many better places that are not so difficult to get to. But we believe that Gulliver's could be a go-to place as well if the staff could be properly trained so that they are more knowledgeable about the food they serve. If they are trained so that they are aware of what is good for the day, and what cuts will be meals to remember. And assign at least one waiter for any table with more than 10 customers. That way, the customers can order and not have to wait forever to be served. We also noticed that there was no service charge, which was a surprise. So we left a tip for the staff. They tried their best and they weren't too bad. After all, it's new year!

    I'm born and raised Catholic but agnostic by practice, so the main reason I attend mass is to make…read morethe important Catholic people of my life happy (by avoiding the struggle of convincing them why I don't need to attend mass, because, hello? Agnostic?). And also to have that awesome post-church meal that's usually filling and hearty. So good thing Racks was right beside this Trinoma chapel and we went straight there after hearing Sunday's gospel. PROS: I like how the place was maaliwalas and comfortable; Racks offer a lot of appetizing food in their menu. It was hard to choose because they all look so good. CONS: I don't really think the price is worth the food and experience. Serving sizes aren't as big as what we were expecting. The half slab of ribs for nearly P500.00 was around three to four actual ribs, so we opted for the whole slab; The "Best Ribs in Town" is just a marketing slogan, and not really a deserving title. Some parts are too charred and dry for my liking. It was quite bland without the sauce too. TL;DR: We're not fans of Racks and it's because of the blandness of the experience. There are better ribs around the city.

    I've been going to Rack's probably for 20 years now. Heck I even remember celebrating my 21st…read morebirthday there when they tried becoming a "bar" in the wee hours of the morning a few years back. It's good that they decided to stick to being a family oriented restaurant and left their bar days behind. After a couple of facelifts and changes in the menu, Rack's is definitely back to its glory days, competing with newcomers and giving them a run for their money. Most famous for their ribs, you really can't go wrong with any of the rib items on the menu, but my personal favorite is definitely the beef ribs; succulent, tender and grilled to a smokey perfection, there really aren't a lot of other places that serve this at all, and moreso less that serve it right (you know who you are, you served me with practically bleeding rib bones). That's because the key, is in the sauce; they have the perfect blend of miraculous stuff that make their barbecue both unique and delicious. Rack's: the only place I ever loved more after removing alcohol from their menu.
