Pino Restaurant

My Ateneo daughter brought us here to celebrate her graduation.
It has a Filipino fusion menu in front, and a full vegan menu (for my daughter) at the back.
Food is flavorful. Prawns fresh. Beef soft.

Good ambience and customer service. They attend to your needs and the manager helps to assist customers, even said good bye when we left the place.

Food is okay, however they told us they ran out shrimps for our starters Salted Egg Shrimps and Crablets, but later on, when we ordered Sea Food Kare-kare, they had shrimp on it. Not sure how they partition their ingredients.

Coffee is good and even served with Equal a.sugar for diabetics. Although, their espresso machine broke down on our second rounds.

The Laing with Bagnet is good and the Bagnet Ribs Sinigang is just nice, they even gave us an additional bowl for the sinigang soup. Not sure if Pancit Bam-i is supposed to be a bit salty.

Overall, It's a good place to dine in for ilocano/cebu food, price is reasonable, no noisy music and great ambient lighting perfect for meet ups who likes to converse instead of chillin out with the loud live bands.

Disappointed. Poor customer service. Their serving of food is one at a time, which results every time the food arrives, you're already done waiting for the next dish. Expected it will arrive at the same time since this is a typical filipino restaurant. The orders took so long to arrive. Not a fan of their chicharon bulaklak, which they coated with breading. Dismayed with sinigang na bagnet. I expected the bagnet to be deep fried pork, that was put in the sinigang. But it turns out it's just plain sinigang. Maybe I expected too much. But will never come back.
