Really little has changed, the service and food is still subpar and overpriced. Yes, they have moved from the original hotel location to the new building but really no improvement. It is a much longer walk now to the parking because the whole complex is set up for the gambling, they really don't care about the food or the comfort of those dinning, just get the money. Lets's set the record straight here, they do not serve pizza, or anything like pizza, their Chef Chris roll ups are not pizza, and not good at all. Service is very slow, even in an empty restaurant. The soup was a very small amount and tasted like packaged freeze-dried soup. The lamb was not tender and overcooked. And why call it Amare by Chef Chris? He died long before the current location was ever built, even going back to his early restaurant C Italian, on Don Juico Ave, when he was cooking his food was not good and his customer service was even worse. If you want to overpay and get bad food with poor service, then come here, you will not be disappointed. Amare by Chef Chris should follow the lead of its namesake and RIP. It could be considered a public service.

The steak itself is prepared good but I asked for medium and it was over cooked to medium well. Tonight I took a take away rib eye and it was cooked to perfection... The venue itself is nice. There is outside seating and a small bar. The menu is just like Texas road house. The cuts of meat are USDA. I was surprised because most of Asia uses Austria. Outside in the seating area there is a pool but I think it's for hotel guest only. Plenty of tables outside and inside Definitely a good spot to get a steak!

DINING OUT DURING A PANDEMIC:…read more We've been extending our wedding anniversary celebration and decided to try the breakfast here. Things don't always turn out the way that you plan, but that's not always bad. Our temps were scanned at the front door of the hotel; face masks and shields are mandatory. Hubby signed us in, then a lovely masked cowgirl/server opened the door to the restaurant and greeted us. I chose a table outside, requesting the ceiling fan to be turned on. We took our time perusing the menu and decided against breakfast, instead we ordered: - Cafe mocha - made from Brazilian coffee beans. This was good. - Corn Fritters made fresh and covered in powdered sugar. Always a winner YUM! - Crab cakes - Oh my! This was delish! Made with fresh crab with a light crisp exterior topped with mango relish - New York Nachos topped with sirloin chunks, chili con carne, pico de gallo, cheese and jalapeños. Comes with sour cream and guacamole (not up to the standard of California avocados) - I make my own chili con carne from scratch, so I wasn't fond of their version, but hubby ate it up! - Blackened Chicken sandwich with smoked bacon - delicious soft bun, thick cut bacon, it had good flavor. American size portions (not tiny Filipino size) with prices that are reasonable, considering the high quality of their ingredients. Also don't be afraid to make requests: they have corn fritters and a cafe mocha that aren't not on the menu. Servers actually come by and asked "How's your food?", this is the first time I've ever heard anyone here in the Philippines ask that! If you need anything, you just need to give the servers a knowing glance, and they'll quickly come. They're always close by keeping an eye out for you. FYI: the standard around the Philippines is that the servers won't check in on you unless you need them. That's why many places have call buttons, or the staff stand around waiting for you to call them. What a beautiful place for a relaxing poolside meal, listening to Kenny G working his magic on the saxophone, and the soothing sound of the rain in the background: I've found foodie heaven.

If you're looking for Filipino pasta that's sweet and contains sliced hot dogs dyed red, you definitely won't find it here. Al Bacio serves authentic Italian dishes made by an Italian chef, who uses fresh ingredients and takes pride in all his dishes. Let me quote myself from my first review: "First glance at the menu might make you say that it's quite pricey; but if you factor in the price of importing quality goods from Italy, the effort it takes to make everything in house (dressing, sauces, bread, pasta, and pizza dough) AND the VIP treatment you get from the wonderful staff: the price point is completely reasonable." This is one of our favorite Italian restaurants: cozy atmosphere, warm staff, and delicious food. I love that the waitstaff and chef are eager to accommodate any requests within reason. We always leave here relaxed, with satisfied tastebuds, and happy bellies. Mangiamo!

That means no crowds, I would suggest you try quickly because this place will become standing room only. Great looking place, good selection of alcohol & drinks, and wonderful fresh oysters.

Located in Hensonville on Zepplin Street. Open from 6 pm until 1 am closed Tuesday. We will be back to try more of the menu very soon.

Only die hard foodies would go out in cold, rainy weather to search for a new restaurant to try. My…read moresearch for reasonably priced, fresh seafood led me to Korea Town. The place was easy to spot, just look for the big red angry crab out in front. While the staff leads you to your table, you'll pass a tank filled with live crabs; you can't get any fresher than this. The restaurant is an open air restaurant so no air con just electric fans. WE ORDERED: - Fried shrimp (complimentary appetizer) - this was ok - Garlic rice was sticky, I wasn't wild about the flavor. - Chili Crab was swimming in a spicy tomato based curry sauce, there was a hint of sweetness: my guess is they used cooking wine. Crab was meaty, but not as sweet as blue crabs which are my favorite. They separated the crab into manageable portions before serving. - Mango shake was made from fresh fruit, this was thick, sweet and delicious. You'll pay a pretty penny here. I think you're enjoyment will depend on your individual taste: hubby liked the food more than I, so I'll give it a safe 3 stars.

I have never seen so many fresh crabs…read more My Grab driver recommended this to me as the best and he was 100 percent correct. This, he told me, is the superior seafood restaurant in the Angelas city area locally known yet also famous with tourists. The architecture is bamboo seeming made in the ancient traditional methods. The value was awesome. It cost me 35usd for a beer crabs and rice. The chilli crab was as good as any I have eaten in Singapore. The crabs are fresh and juicy still alive in the tank. I also saw the coconut crab which other diners loved or the steam crab is apparently the specialty of the house. By the way share these because the servings are large. I was hungry but I couldn't eat it all. The service is great and the staff were extremely warm, friendly and welcoming in the greatest Phillipino traditions. That grab driver deserves a high five from me

It is a…read morecasual dining steakhouse so the highlights of their menu are the steaks, ribs, chicken, pasta, and seafood. They also have a wide selection of desserts and hot and cold beverages. This one is just one of their several branches. What you will see at Roberto's: The restaurant has a nice homey ambiance with rustic design dotted with memorabilia from the owner's various travels. Each branch has its own collection set and it is "owls" for this branch. You will see them all around the place as figurines, bowls, and carvings. They also feature beautiful furniture pieces by Cobonpue, a Filipino industrial designer. Conclusion: The overall ambiance is great and the furnitures are nicely fitting together and are comfortable. The place looks clean and well maintained. The crew are friendly and food was served on time and was perfectly warm. But this could also be because we came at 2:30pm when there were not so many other customers. There were three of us and everyone was satisfied with the food. The servings were just right to make one full. The prices are pretty reasonable with the quality and quantity you will get. So, yes, we can really recommend this restaurant...
