However, the *Burning Bush* (P380), with its "smoky revelation worthy of a discriminating palate", was crafty as much as it was wily. A splendid concoction with a smoky character mixed with a zesty and herbal element. The billowing smoky uncovering was also a bit fun! For a more direct cocktail, the *Punyeta* (P310), with a twang of spiciness and soft wave of herbal basil and lime, was savored in a regal manner. The drinks were without a doubt SO incredibly well-made. The bartender was ever so attentive, delivering our drinks to our table with a candid smile. As well as their cocktails, they have a detailed food menu. A very lounge-y bar with a club-vibe as made evident by the DJ booth, however there's no dance floor, per say. A rich environment regardless, so it is worthy of a visit!

It's only been around for a year or two. I was shocked to see there was no Yelp reviews on this place, yet. Service - fully professional. Great service. I've never ordered something here that they were out of (common at some local places here). Drinks - this is a real bar. All the well known brands, many cocktails on the menu. Several cocktails you've maybe never heard of. If they don't have it, they'll try to make you happy. I was impressed that their margarita was basically a true skinny, no sugar at all. Just Quervo, triple sec, calamansi lime juice. But, this bar, like most in the Philippines, serves a cocktail with almost no ice in a martini sized glass. Food - nice menu - the sizzling sisig is fantastic. I was expecting more from the more expensive sizzling beef on a previous visit, but it was not even close to the quality of the sisig. My cast iron plate was hot enough to fully cook the egg on my sisig plate. It really was excellent. Karaoke - this is pretty typical locally to have a midi videoke machine. These are not sweet backing tracks. But, it's a good system with a wide selection. I have several favorite places in Tagbilaran City, Bohol. But, Spindrift has become my true number one favorite.

That's what happens I guess when you're in your 50's, you just want to hang with your friends and talk the night away. The problem with the outdoor patio was that it was muggy and the humidity was unbearable. Drinking a bucket of Super Dry San Miguel beer probably made it worse with the comfort level, but that feeling went away as the night went by. Service was slow, though, and we had to wave at any of the staff for our food and drinks. That's us even considering that it was in Cebu, and slow service was a given. Food was reasonably priced and delicious. I'd probably seek a bar with air-conditioning the next time we hang out with my buddies.

The interior is stylish with dim lighting perfect for evening hangouts, and there's often live music or DJ sets on select nights--one of their recent posts even teased a "music night" lineup that drew quite the crowd.

Most of the family ordered from their dinner menu. 3 of us chose to try their dinner buffet. They also had a buy one get one free cocktail special that evening which we took advantage of. Happy Hour is from 5pm to 7pm! Everybody liked the food. I cannot comment on what most of the family ate because I only had the food from the buffet. There were many entree choices at the buffet. Something for everyone. Specifically, my favorites were the chop suey and the grilled shrimp on the skewers. Staff and entertainment were terrific. The woman singing did a nice job. The staff were friendly and for the most part kept refilling the buffet food. Only thing they did a bad job refilling was the dessert. Room 801 is a fine dining option if you are in this area of Cebu. Give them a try.

That was really a nice gesture. I ordered for crab cakes and it taste really good! I would recommend this place to everyone who would be visiting Cebu or to any local cebuanos looking for a nice place to chill. It's great for dates too! Great views!

French elegance in the Philippines [CEBU CITY Philippines]…read more Wow! a slice of Parisian experience in the Philippines! This is a French-themed restaurant and wine tasting room located in the heart of Cebu City.... Btw, the name has changed to La Parisienne Sky. I will attempt to update Yelp. The road is steep heading to Tops Lookout. There is an entrance fee of PHP 200/person (around $3.50) which can be applied to your purchase in the restaurant. Inside is very classy, modern and posh Paris-themed establishment. Even the servers were dressed in bistro server uniforms. We ordered some pastries and cheese. Some of us went for the gelato. So many flavors to choose from. Across the gelato station is the wine tasting room. We sat under their outdoor covered patio. We enjoyed the beautiful views and the nice breeze. Nice place to visit for anyone looking for something different, for those looking for a taste of French elegance in the Philippines it's worth visiting. Btw, the gelato was delicious! Oh la la la...
