Just like Calea, I have read about this establishment everywhere I researched. I did not know there was another version or branch of this restaurant in Bacolod as well, but I’m not sure if they are the same.
The ambiance is similar to that of Aristocrat’s. The restaurant was with a lot of people and it was indeed a laid-back, casual dining place. We went there during lunch on a Sunday so kids were all over, making the restaurant really alive. I think Bob’s offer buffet dining because I saw a row of food after we ate but as for our case, we ordered a-la-carte. Besides, we were too full from the La Paz Batchoy we had an hour before. We ordered the following:
Baked Cheesy Fries (Php 94) – for the price, it was quite a small serving. But then, this was oozing with flavour. It had bits of meat and cheeses on top. This is a good appetizer to get when you are not too hungry or if you just want to warm up your stomach.
Sate Babe with Sate Rice (Php 98) – this is pork barbecue with peanut sauce served (and best paired up) with java rice. I found the peanut sauce overpowering that it was almost too salty. But the rice evened out the taste. Serving was quite small even for just one person.
Steak ala Pobre whole (Php 269) – for a casual dining place, they have good steak. The meat was tender and perfectly cooked (at medium well). The gravy it came with was very tasty. It was rich and flavourful that it complemented the steak really well. You have an option for a half order (which is good for one) or full order (to share).
Fruit punch (Php 89) – this is one of the unique drinks you can try at this place. It was sweet with a lot of texture that confused me, but nevertheless, tasty. It wasn’t refreshing but it is a drink and dessert in one.
The service was efficient and I was full right away. But that did not hinder us from getting dessert. We ordered their revel bar (Php 37) which was oats and chocolate in a brownie-like consistency. It was not too sweet and was indeed delicious (I’m a chocoholic, so I’m biased).
A stop in this restaurant is definitely recommended when you find yourself in Bacolod.
