    Black Pizza
    Cezar R.

    After reading all the reviews and hype about this restaurant, I came in with extremely high expectations. I was always critical of restaurants with rave reviews because it's easy to be influenced by other's recommendations rather than appreciate the food that is right in front of you. I guess I'll go straight to the point and say that Village Tavern is one of the best places in Manila. I genuinely enjoyed the good food and especially, the service! I tried to find a fault in this restaurant prior to writing this review but can't think of any. We ordered the Black Pizza, Cowboy burger and a slice of Carrot cake with cream cheese frosting. Everything was really delicious. The dough of the black pizza was the right kind of softness. The meatiness of the burger was better than my favorite Chili's burger. The sweet potato fries that came with the burger was the best that I have ever tasted. Looking at Village Tavern's service, everything is perfect. The staff was so attendant that when I was trying to take a picture of my group, a waiter suddenly approached us and offered to take our picture. Those little details of attentiveness are hard to find and Village Tavern delivers with ease. Don't forget to call them first for a reservation because this place gets packed on a Saturday night.

    Wagyu sliders

    They have a wide variety of food to offer, but I usually get their wagyu sliders just cause I can't finish their regular sized burgers (too big for me) I love their sweet potato fries it's super crisp and perfect! Great ambiance + fast free wifi. Their bathroom is also clean and well maintained. Although their service on a Sunday night wasn't as good as I expected. Forgot to refill our water and every time I would raise my hand for something, took them around 2 minutes to see I was calling for them. I'm guessing cause we came after the peak (around 10 pm) price is a bit pricey but since we purchased the premiere discount card, it's super worth it! 20% off plus 250 pesos discount on the total bill.

    Village Tavern has all the details of a fine dining restaurant, but my visit was peppered with two not so fine details, which include a Taylor Swift playlist and warm ventilation that got me sweating under my clothes. The food was good, though. I liked the light-tasting Black Pizza and the overly tasssty Truffle Burger. I just hope my next visit will be more comfy.

    Frozen Margarita

    As much as I want to rate this place higher, there are just some things I'm not fond of in Village Tavern's Menu. Before you even change your mind, order the Jalapeño Poppers as your appetizer. This dish might help you decide on what exactly you want as your main dish. I've been here twice already and I've learned from experience that the pizzas here aren't too good. I found the pizza itself too doughy and dense, the toppings were so little. It seemed like you were just eating bread. You're better off with the pasta - I really enjoyed the Chicken Pesto Pasta here. The pasta is cooked al dente and the chickens strips were tender. Get a frozen margarita to complement your meal! It's fun drinking this because you will feel like the drink will be never end (since it's slushy)!

    Texas Roadhouse is an American chain steakhouse and when we found that they had locations in the…read moreUS, we had to try them out. The layout and offerings pretty much mirror what's offered in the US. The only unavailable item is the Cactus blossom (fried onion bloom). Instead, they offer onion frizzles as a substitute. A few things to mention. You will experience sticker shock due to the fact that: #1.) Steak is hard to come by in the Philippines (could be a cultural thing) and #2.) Expect the meat cuts to be rather thin. #3.) Drinks are not as boozy. My husband ordered a Raspberry Margarita and although it had great flavor, the booze was lacking. Flavor is definitely present but for the price Americans pay for steak versus the Philippines, there is a high premium.

    Had dinner on december 8th, I ordered the ribs and sausage combo. The sausage was disappointing-…read moreit was stuffed with so much fillers you cant even taste any meat in it. Also got the steak and was served without any A1 sauce. Server was way too concerned about cleaning the table when we were done- we paid our bill and were still seated and the guy already started clearing the table, grabbing our plates as it passed by our faces. As a side note, while eating our dinner, they seated a party of 6 in a booth that can only seat 4 and I saw the group looked annoyed that they're elbow to elbow in their seat that they themselves asked the server to move them to a bigger table. Poor customer service and to top it off, the food was meh.

    I stayed with some friends at the Shangri-La last month, and we stopped at the Raging Bull for a…read morenightcap on our final night in town. It was a very nice place, as you might imagine, a restaurant and bar on the 30th floor of a luxury hotel in BGC. It had a sort of American whiskey cowboy theme, though with the golden grandeur of the Shangri-La. The bar was pretty quiet at 10:00 on a Saturday night. Other than our table, the only guests I noticed were a very old white man and his very young Asian escort, who I do hope was being paid handsomely for her time. Service was polite and attentive, and we enjoyed a relaxing round to mark the end of our trip. My friend Nick L. was kind enough to buy. We got snack buckets of spiced popcorn when we sat down, then ordered ourselves some cocktails from the book-sized leather-bound menu. I had the Last Runner, a complicated milk punch with black and white rum, jasmine green tea, pineapple juice, passionfruit, milk, and calamansi juice. It was quite boozy and delicious, garnished with a charred slice of pineapple. I also admired my friend Bong C.'s Cowboy Old Fashioned, with Raging Bull bourbon, sherry wine, and vanilla. It came in a giant glass bottle filled with smoke, and he poured it himself into the accompanying old fashioned glass. We hung out for an hour then went to sleep, and I left for the airport the next morning. I had a great time in Manila thanks to my travel mates, and I was glad for this one last drink at Raging Bull.

    Staff personalities and friendliness just can't beat! Especially enjoyed having a few beers and…read morechatting with the girls behind the bar mixing the whiskey drinks, which the bar specializes in. Restaurant was great! Extremely pricey for Philippine locals and still pretty stiff by Hawaii standards. Don't go if you're on a budget. But well cooked and presented dinners! Not a large place, so be sure to make reservations for this comfortably cozy place to eat.

The view and ambiance are nice, but I am not here to discuss cosmetics. I want to highlight a poorly managed restaurant that has the potential to be something to rave about. I ordered the Black Truffle Risotto with chicken breast served with mushrooms and parmesan shavings. My daughter ordered the Sirloin Steak with fries. It took 30 minutes for my Risotto to be served, and surprise! It was cold and rather disgusting. The Risotto was bland, and the consistency was like overcooked oatmeal. There were 3 small pieces of mushroom and a chunk of rancid cheese that was supposed to be the "shaved parmesan". The worst part of my experience was nearly breaking my molar on a bone in the chicken breast. The server stated he would check with the chef and later returned with the most idiotic excuse I have ever heard. "Sir, the boneless piece of chicken breast sometimes has chick bones." This is not at all fully incorrect, as a poorly cut or inspected piece of chicken may be served with unintentional pieces of bones, but this was the size of a chicken wing drum bone. You would figure a manager or chef would visit the table with a correction or apology, but the manager just sat behind the bar flipping receipts. My daughter placed her order at the same time I did and ordered the sirloin steak with truffle french fries. Special instructions were given to the waitress that no salt or pepper was to be added, as my daughter likes to season on her own. Simple and direct. After my horrible food experience, I followed up with the waitress as 45 minutes had passed and no food had been delivered to my daughter. She advised me that she would go check, but never returned. This is the messed-up part. One of the people on my table ordered the all-you-can-eat steak option and, to test the kitchen, ordered one with no salt and pepper. His steak came out way before my daughter's food. An hour and 15 minutes had passed, and I was completely upset as we had never received her food. I watched a waiter try to sneak behind me and deliver my daughter's food. I immediately jumped up and checked her food. It was cold, overcooked, and over-seasoned. It took the kitchen an hour and a half to make a messed-up steak. I told them to leave it because I wanted to pay for the right to write this review. The manager did not bother to leave the bar area and sat back, expressing his frustrations to the employees. I was trying to understand why he refused to step up and help his employees. I believe leaders/managers should lead by example and own the responsibility for their employees' actions or inactions. I guess Discover Suites and 22 Prime have a different idea of leadership ethos. As I sat back completely upset and disgusted, waiting for my party to finish their food, a man who was identified as the general manager of the hotel/restaurant walked in, and I kindly introduced myself and asked if I could speak with him about my experience at 22 Prime. He said yes and began speaking with someone else on the opposite side of our table. I later noticed he slipped around the back to avoid me and exited from the back of the restaurant. I am going to maintain my professionalism and not address his level of cowardice in this review, but attribute it again to the Discover Suites management's ethos. 3 other families attended dinner with us that night and placed their order, but never received their food. Some of them had to order GRAB to get a Jollibee chicken delivered because it was the only thing open at that time. One of the families had the food sent to their room, and it was delivered cold and disgusting. I felt extremely bad for these families as they had smaller children with them. The worst part was that the restaurant charged them for the poor quality food. A few days later, I received an invitation to attend a "make-up dinner" hosted by the hotel management for the people who were impacted by their lack of quality service. I appreciate any attempt to rectify a bad experience, but the presented dinner was set, cooked in advance, and fell far from exemplary. I will respectfully bite my tongue and delete the details from this dinner. I was expecting a representative from the hotel/restaurant management to at least do a small presentation or give an apology to the families. This, of course, did not happen and reinforces my opinion of the Discovery Suites management ethos. I stayed in the hotel for over a week and noticed that this restaurant was never full. Given all the great reviews and location, I would expect this place to be packed every night. Note to readers: I apologize if this review offends you or contradicts your personal experiences with this establishment. My review is based on factual events and intertwined with my opinions. Thank you for reading, and I hope
