I was able to visit this restaurant last December 2013 and had blogged it as well. But for today my sister and I successfully lured our parents to dine here as well to celebrate my mom's birthday.

Fam shot before eating (:

For our visit today I appreciate the attentiveness of all their staff. They are very friendly and pleasant. Special mention to sir Angel, who was our server for the day.

FOODIES:

I ordered for U.S.Roast Beef while my sister ordered for Fish and Chips. My mom, on the other hand, ordered for Salisbury steak while my dad ordered for US Skirt Steak with fries.

Bottomless Blue Lemonade (Php 80)

U.S. Roast Beef (Php 385) Juicy slices of roast beef with gravy served with mixed vegetables, mashed potatoes AND rice

Their U.S. Roast Beef was well done. Easy to eat and very tummy filling. It was also worth the price. You can never go wrong with this order.

Fish and Chips (Php 295) Breaded fish fillet served with french fries and tartar sauce

For my sister's order. It was also very delicious. Although, she had to order additional rice for it but not so carbo lover the dish was also good without a rice. I also love how they do their tartar sauce. Such a delish! (:

I failed to have a taste my parents' order but they look very delicious too. They also look satisfied after eating anyway. 

Salisbury Steak Quarter pound (Php 260) Grilled sirloin patties served with gravy, mashed potatoes and rice

U.S. Skirt Steak (Php 395) tender, tasty beef hot off the grill. Served with buttered vegetables, gravy and choice of mashed potatoes, fries or rice

After eating we even ordered some desserts for take out. You must not leave this place without trying their white toblerone walnut torte. My favorite dessert. (: Below are also some photos of our desserts. All are superb! (but of course I am quite bias and favor white toblerone walnut torte above all others)

White Toblerone Walnut Torte (Php 120)

Just like before, this is a must visit place!!! Here's a copy of their menu as well as their branch list.

Even though I reside in Cainta, I haven’t been to City Golf Ortigas neither dine at Locale Gastrobar. Since I have been reading reviews about the venue I decided to celebrate my birthday with 2 of my good friends and co-intern at Locale Gastrobar.

OVERVIEW:

This is located at City Golf Compound, Julia Vargas Avenue, Ortigas Center, Pasig. For commuters, from Megamall, ride an fx going to Angono FLOODWAY and drop at City Golf compound (right after Home Depot and in front of Valle Verde III gate). From Ayala, take an fx going to Antipolo or Tikling then tell the driver to drop you at the overpass of Julia Vargas Street (that is before Mom and Tina’s in C5, SM Hypermarket and Tiendesitas). Then ride another fx to Megamall then alight the fx at City Golf compound. For private vehicles, from Ayala take the C5 road and turn left at Julia Vargas street. You will find the compound at your right side. If you’re from Antipolo, take the road going to Tiendesitas then turn right at Julia Vargas street. Again, the compound is at the right. If you are from Megamall area, take the Julia Vargas Street. City Golf compound is just after home depot and in front of Valle Verde 3 gate. For those taking a private vehicle, this place has limited parking lot. You can also park in the home depot area. 

Relaxed atmosphere, comfortable seats and elegant looking bar and restaurant describe this gastropub. You may mistakenly think that this place is for high end class men but this is actually a casual dining restaurant and they have price worthy food products. 

SERVICE:

I arrived at the place quite early (or at least early for party time) so I do not have much competition with the servers and they have been very generous to entertain u for our requests.

FOODIES:

One of my friends have read reviews about the place and he want to try the Truffle Pizza however I wanted to try the 3 Cheese Pizza so we decided to order both. Aside from that we also ordered for the Angus Beef Meatballs and Truffle Fries as well. 

The Truffle Fries is ok. The truffle taste is not very distinct though.

This one is sooo good (and very photogenic too) - very meaty and flavorful. Definitely a must try!!!

These pizza were so delicious. Both pizzas are good complimentary with wines. The 3 cheese pizza was heavenly. I love cheese and I super love this pizza. On the other hand, truffle pizza worth all the praises it received in the internet.  It really taste very good plus it has a generous amount of truffles. Love both of this pizzas.

We had a great time eating their food - very delicious indeed. Plus, this is indeed a great place to bond with friends. I’ll definitely go back here, next time probably I’ll bring my parents with me.
