The restaurant is a quirky concept by itself - it is so small that it fits only about 5 decent tables inside with a massive bar taking up about a third of the place and a table is set aside with a wooden enclosure for privacy. But what it lacks in space, it more than makes up for in terms of delicious taste.
It surely has an interesting menu - we picked the tubig ni Maria pitcher which is good enough for 3 thirsty big men, like me and my friends. It has ginger, local pipino, it think there is even lemongrass in there, with a lime and an orange slice. It makes up for a really cool, nice refresher and palate cleanser.
The menu is interesting as it has references to Rizal and some of his characters from Noli Me Tangere. Imaginative, but it pushed some of the dish names too far. at least, they all looked promisingly tasty. The Ode is enough for 4 or even 5 grown men.
We wanted to try their luscious looking desserts but we were so stuffed, we had to forego it. I will have to come back for their desserts. A lot of my friends have good things to say about it.
They have an open veranda that opens to garden stairs leading to the patio below at the Greenbelt 5 garden. The veranda is actually bigger than the restaurant, so it might be best to stay there if you are with a big group and the weather is cool (and it is usually cool nowadays).I like the food, liked the service, liked the Tubig ni Maria, and i give this restaurant my thumbs up for this month.
If you are ever in Makati and near Greenbelt 5, this is definitely a place to go to. It's right beside Fely J's at the seond floor, so you can't miss it, really!
bigboy promises to get back to you soon with new news! nunus!
