Do you remember the first time you tried oysters raw? This is my first, but this is just nearly…read moreraw. I actually prefer it well done, so I'll see to it that it is on my next visit. I'll certainly pay Chateau a second, third, fourth visit. It's a great place to be! I was there last January (2019), during their "soft" launch, and we all know how soft launch gives every staff the excuse to be less efficient than the customers deserve. Anyway, the place was just awesome especially at night, a change in staff (all of them) solves all the awkward moments during that first visit. Anyway, going back to my oysters. I like it really well done, even though it's pretty easy to know when oysters arent good - because they stink and taste aweful. Better be safe than sorry because the only way to kill all the bacteria living inside an oyster, which by the way can be fatal, is to properly cook it. While I'm a little paranoid about shells, particularly oysters, there's something about oysters that's sort of "addictive". It's the first item I look for on the menu, and when it's there, it's definitely going to be on the table. The difference between the oysters from Chateau 1771 and the prior oysters that equally melted my heart is this: they sit on colored stones instead of rock salt. That's it! It's like Catriona winning the Bb Pilipinas and then later Miss Universe. It's the same oyster but a grander "packaging" and presentation instantly changed the way we feel about it. Chateau's oyster was more satisfying, more beautiful, more exciting. My oyster experience here was certainly a happier one.

It took them three hours to serve our Mother's Day dinner. The food came in poor order, meaning,…read moresome of the items ordered last came first, and many of the items ordered first, came last.

My husband was disappointed with the dumplings, because it wasn't like the typical dumplings that he's accustomed to having. He was expecting the Chinese type of dumplings, but these were like pork within something like a fish ball. I happen to love fish balls, so I enjoyed their take with the unique dumplings. I was surprised with their beverage menu. I didn't see any hot beverages. Fortunately, they had hot tea. My husband isn't a fan of shabu-shabu, but he happens to like Ganso Shabuway!

I'd been wanting to try Filipino food, and this place came highly recommended by some locals. The food was incredible. I tried the sizzling sinigang, and it completely surprised me. The flavor was sour, savory, and comforting all at once. I also had the oyster sisig, which was crispy, rich, and perfect with a cold San Miguel beer. Every dish came out hot and well-presented. The restaurant itself has a great vibe!!! lively but not too loud. The staff were really friendly and helpful, especially since I wasn't too familiar with Filipino dishes. They explained what everything was and even suggested a few must-tries. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone visiting the Philippines. And I'll definitely come back next time!

For a place that was so busy, surprisingly, it wasn't too noisy and we were able to carry out a conversation. The staff was very attentive, and it seemed like we had multiple people serving us Like most groups, we dined family style. We shared everything that we ordered and every dish was scrumptious. Three of us reside overseas so we were all looking frward to authentic Filipino foods. This place rose to the occasion. The standout was the fish that was filleted and deep-fried, and spread out like a butterfly so it was easy to take a piece off. The fish was cooked perfectly, that is, it wasn't overcooked like most fried fish dishes would be. All of us asked for fresh buko (coconut) juice servied in a whole coconut. However, the coconut was no longer young coconut that usually has soft meat that we can spoon up. instead, it was more "niyog" or mature coconut that needed to be cut up which the staff did for us.

On this visit I had the following items: - Crispy Tadyang - Bamboo Rice The Tadyang (fried short ribs) was incredible - tender, yet crispy and full of flavor. There's a nice portion of beef that arrives in the order, so it's very satisfying. The rice has an interesting flavor profile since it's mixed with spices and shrimp...it's definitely an interesting rice dish you won't find anywhere else. Abe has a huge menu that showcases the diversity in Philippine cuisine. The fact that it includes appetizers, salads, soups, mains, sides and desserts means you'll leave a very satisfied customer. Can't wait for my next visit!

It was very close to our hotel and one of the few sit downs that offer Filipino cuisine. The ambience is nice and air conditioned inside! The staff were friendly but took forever to take our orders, bring our drinks, and serve our food. The food was average. The portions were ridiculously small for the price. One order is approximately 750PHP but it's only good for 1 person. Not worth it if you want to share or try other "ulams" ... paid almost 5k PHP for 2 people.

Positives: Service was great indoors. They were very responsive. The food was exceptional. The decor was very home like. Negatives: Service outside was less to be desired. A long wait to get our orders taken, next to no follow up checking on customers for additional orders or beverages. The outdoor experience might have been an off day for the servers (hence the docking of 1 star) but the overall experience and amazing food left a positive impression of this restaurant. Loved the food. I will return when I have the chance!

Friends wanted to take us out to try some Prime steak in Manila so why not! A bit of a surprise for the food here. We came with a big group of friends so ordered a variety of plates to share.

Like a lot of recommendations from others, the cream pasta is packed full of umami flavors and done just right. The purple rice here was also notably good. Overall a decent mall dining experience. I think I've come to the conclusion that in SEA/APAC a lot of good restaurants and dining experiences are mall centric.

The fun is inventive with a hint of traditional. We had the okoy, spring rolls, adobo 3 ways, binagongan fried rice, kapampangan sisig and because of the Thai folds around the place some pad thai which was surprisingly spicy! Good flavors, tender when it needs to be and crispy when it should be. The only complaint was it was a bit too salty and the portion was small which is okay if you re a small party but any party 5 or more would need to order a couple of the same plates for everyone to get a taste. Service was okay and friendly but super slow. I would recommend a try. Parking is nuts!

The portion was moderate and it can feed 2 people. It was hot and crunchy and the sauce was pretty good. The pinakbet with pork liempo was awesome, please keep in mind that pinakbet in some regions are cooked without the sabaw (sauce). The eggplant was definitely fried. The bitter melon and the kombucha squash were steamed well. The pork was super crunchy!!! Please also note that one order of pinakbet will probably good for 2 people but I can definitely devour it on my own! The kare kare with crispy pork was also good. The sauce was slurry and not too thick. The string beans, banana heart (puso ng saging) and bok choy were steamed and cooked well. They were not soggy but crunchy. Also the eggplant was fried and added with the sauce. When you order kare kare it automatically comes with sautéed shrimp paste. This dish alone will probably feed 4 people. Overall the service was great, we did not wait long for the food, and we were seated right away since we arrived there around 11:45ish. The restaurant was clean and quite cozy. There's one bathroom for both genders. Total of all the meals including 1 sugarcane calamansi juice refill P1745.00 (also includes gratuity charges).

During our most recent visit to Manila, we have dined at three different locations (actually if we…read morecount another one last year, it will be four for me). Every single location delivered the same top-notch service and excellent food. It seemed that there was always a waiting list. But what they did that was so smart was give us the menu and and an order form and that gave us the time to peruse the menu, decide what we want and place our orders. By the time we sat down, it didn't take long before our orders were delivered. The first time we dined, there were only two of us, so we ordere the small plates. Another smart idea to have the choice of small, medium and large orders depending on the number of people. We've always dined family style so we were able to taste different foods. We've ordered the essential Filipino foods i.e., different kinds of sisig, salpicao, sinigang, adobo, pancit palabok, buko pie, puto bumbong, halo halo. And every single dish was phenomenally tasty, especially for us who are all residing in the US. Manam will always be our first choice whenever we are in Manila.

Ordered their garlicky chicken and pork adobo, sisig, garlic rice, and turon. The adobo was fine, I think it would have been better just with the pork vs with chicken. Sisig was on point. The garlic rice was fine as well. The turon didn't have bananas in it but mangoes instead. I had thought it would have had both mangoes and bananas, but was mistaken. Overall, a decent place for casual sit-down vibes.
