So went to Cafe G as it is part of a bed and breakfast and was very warm and inviting from the window. I must acknowledge that friend was with was very happy with their food. I was not. I ordered Calamari and Caesar Salad....The salad was delivered with croutons that were so stale not even birds would eat. The Calamari was cooked nice, but the tartar sauce was not fresh and so sweet. Good thing the Calamari plain was okay. My friend ordered a Pandesal with Pesto. She said the Pandesal was nice and fresh, but the Pesto was so little that she was disappointed. She said the Pesto was nice, what there was of it.More

Food was ok, ube cake is way too sweet. Service was too slow, naubos na ung spaghetti ng ksma ko wala pa ren ung food ng anak ko.

I love the actual cafe, its proximity to the town center and the churches, and the ambience, which was in equal parts it-girl boudoir and garden gazebo. (Love the Pablo Neruda poems as centerpieces). Add that to the patio and the small pool and bougainvilleas,...and you have a very good recipe for an IG hit. Wish I could say the same for the menu items we ordered, which were hit or miss. There were a lot of items on the menu, but here’s my review of the stuff that we did order. Buffalo Shrimp was extremely spicy that we had to blot the sauce to be able to taste the shrimp, and the sauce was just hot sauce and not Buffalo (I couldn’t taste any butter. Or maybe all that spice killed my tastebuds.). The Caesar salad had a lot of veg, which I liked, but the bacon bits were miniscule and the sauce was, if I didn’t miss my guess, straight out of a bottle. The Seafood Platter, which contained breaded dory fillet, calamari and shrimp, was delightful, but a suggestion: bottled thousand island or ranch, not bottled barbeque sauce. The Chicken Kebab was tasty, but it should have been called Chicken Barbecue because there wasn’t a hint of Middle Eastern flavor in there. And dear Lord, do somehing about your Parmesan Chicken recipe. We were served an sad-looking fried chicken leg sprinkled with parmesan. Yep, not Chicken Parmigiana, not Parmesan wings-style chicken. I could have been more forgiving if the fried chicken was good, but it was tasteless and underfried, no golden brown skin. By way of dessert, we ordered a strawberry smoothie and a slice of carrot cake out of their long list of fancy drinks. The strawberry smoohie was pretty much ice, milk and Torani strawberry syrup. I liked the actual carrot cake, which was dense and moist and had a nice texture because of the walnuts, but the ratio of powdered sugar to cream cheese in the frosting was way off that I had to scrape away the overly sweet frosting. All in all, I was impressed by the ambience so I couldn’t lowball their score. However, for me, the food is equally, if not even more so, important. Their menu list is impressive in sheer number of items, but to be frank, I’d prefer it if they stuck with a moderate number of menu items, provided that they could execute each of them perfectly. Price would have been reasonable if the quality of the food had been up to par.More
