Had dinner here tonight. The pork and prune stew I had was spectacular. I don’t know how they got the meat to be so tender but it literally melted in my mouth. The prunes did a lot for the dish that I didn’t know they could provide. I need to come back to this chain more often. I don’t care about the price of the food or the long, cramped jeepney ride to get to a mall were a French Baker is available, I will be coming back.

My partner and I went here for dinner on mother's Day. I got French onion soup, Chicken Cordon Blu and a Caesar salad. All of which were very good. She got ribs. Her ribs were moist and tender. But the meat didn't fall off the bone or melt in your mouth like BBQ ribs should. They were still good. The service was slow and our order came out randomly. I expected the soup or salad to come out first but the main course came out for both of us. Then the salad, then the soup then my coffee....I will admit it was mother's day and the restaurant was packed. I didn't say anything and they gave us a piece of red velvet cake on the house.
