Table 7

It's a nice place to have a lunch date or dinner. It has a live piano bar at night and has a good selection of alcoholic drinks as well.
The price? As low as P200 per person if you'll only order a main course each. But I'd say P300 per person should cover it with 1 drink each and
an appetizer/salad/soup. Add another P100 for dessert (shared).
The Food:
We loved the baked oysters with kesong puti.
Also try the Beef Fillet Mignon served with pasta. The bacon was really good and gave the tender beef that extra "oomph". Served with a gravy sauce and pasta, this is a winner for us.
The Pork and Sausage Succotash is also served with pasta but uses a tomato base. The sausage is good but I would have wanted it of the firmer type but the taste is perfect and doesn't overpower the dish with its "pepperyness". The pork cubes are soft and melts in your mouth. Some might not like this type of consistency but I find that it complements the pasta well. However since both the pork and the sausage are soft, I was looking for something with firm character which, again, I think the sausage should have.
Others:
Their fruit shakes are made with milk... I had watermelon and Mia had mango. They're ok. Nothing special.
Their special Iced Tea is basically Iced Lipton Tea (from the tea bag) shaken and served with syrup on the side.

Their prices are reasonable and the food is pretty good. Nice place to bring a date or just hang-out with friends. Good for family bondings also.
They don't serve desserts only. They also have full meals like ribs, boneless crispy pata, sandwiches, and pasta. However, we weren't able to try any.
We did try the following:
Apple Pie ala mode - filling is good. firm apples and the cinnamon sauce was well balanced. the crust could be better but it was ok. the ice cream is one BIG scoop, so that's a plus.
Peanut Butter and Banana Ice Cream Cake - Mia loved the crust which has frozen banana mixed into it. I would have wanted a more peanut-buttery ice cream though but that's just me since i love peanut butter. Very good on a hot day and if you want something bordering on chocolate but not quite.
Chocomallow - A hot chocolate drink with marshmallows. The chocolate was thick and very very "chocolatey". And I'm a chocoholic and very particular about my chocolate. 5 stars for this!
Chocolate Milkshake - simple... a bit milky... but good. Don't expect something spectacular. It's really your run-of-the-mill chocolate milk shake.
Banana Smoothie - a bit milky but the banana taste was well balanced. not too sweet so it's a nice accompaniment to something really sweet.
Things I want to try:
Gooey Carrot Cake, Guilt-less Cheesecake, Blueberry-Lemon Parfait
