The place doesn't look like much from the outside (as evidenced by the photo) but the interior screams posh. Champagne and wine can be seen anywhere and there are tables for couples, small groups and bigger groups. We were given a table beside the entrance (by the glass window), making us quite visible to the gamblers who are passing by.
For starters, we had the Crab Cake Donut with Tartare Sauce. This dish had around 10 delectable crab balls and cost around P550. It did taste like it was made of actual crab meat and not some meat alternate, but then again I could be wrong. I really liked it, and I thought the sauce was good too.
The T-bone Steak (P4000) was an obvious choice. At 800 grams, it was big enough for sharing and was perfect for a not-so-hungry family. Paired with the really expensive steak rice (P300 a cup!!), it was enough to satisfy my steak cravings. The meat was tender and juicy, and it was seasoned well. It came with a special sauce, but I prefer my steak without it.
We also ordered the John Dee Super Gold 160 Day Grain Fed Black Angus (P3000), which is a mouthful to order. To simplify, you can just say ribeye. It's 250 grams of pure bliss. Even the garlic was good enough to eat.
Funny story - I gave my brother P10,000 and told him he can have whatever is left after paying the bill. He was happy, but the smile disappeared when he saw what we ordered. I jokingly told him that 10k was not enough and that he had to cover the balance. Thanks to Dad's senior citizen card, we ended up "within budget."
Happy Anniversary, Mom and Dad. You inspire me. I love you both.
