Long wait, great food, service and great view of Taal Volcano. Go early, the restaurant fills up fast.

Amazing local food- we have tried a few different dishes and everything was just perfect. The view from the restaurant is also breathtaking. I wish we could dine there every night! A place not to be missed, highly recommended!

The prices soar greatly from last visit many years ago.
The weekday visit is a favorite with almost no crowd and queue to fight with.
The food prep and presentation were highly noticeable, loved the way they give the layers of taste onto one dish. Very healthy and thoughtful only the health conscious will noticed.
The service were very good!
The Quezo ice cream is to die for! I will comeback for this definitely!

very good food served generously. 13 of us feasted on their crispy pata, bulalo with refillable soup, palabok, paella, baby squid, fried chicken and many more. we could not finish all the food. some of the dishes need to be brought home for dinner. their desserts, e.g., ice cream, ginumis, year--round puto bumbong & halo-halo were sooo yummy.

balay dako is an institution for the gastronomic savvy. it does not disappoint despite being too pricey.

just bring along a lot of patience during peak hours. the only thing that is not dako here is the parking space.

Fantastic Filipino food. They were full! But still service was great. Parking a problem but thats because of the large number of customers. When you have that many people lining up to eat, they must be good! Such a plus that they're pet friendly as well! Great service and talk from Erwin, Marc and Carlos.
