I have been going out once (twice at most) a week since the quarantine was implemented, mainly for personal errands and work-related stuff. Once in the outside world, I squeeze in some leisure dining from time to time just to have some semblance of life pre-dystopian era :p
Two Sundays ago, I asked my sister if she and her partner would like to meet since I was feeling lazy and needed some push to get myself moving and do my errands. My sister recommended that we have dinner at this place they tried (in Las Pinas), which happened to just open a branch in QC.
I went straight to the resto after finishing my errands and was a tad surprised to see so many people waiting to be seated. I haven't experienced long lines going in a restaurant since the pandemic happened. We were 11th on the waiting list (and people kept coming). We decided to stick around just because we were in no hurry and not yet hungry. I think we waited for an hour and half, but it really didn't feel that long. We were seated comfortably outside and the staff were nice, serving the guests with refreshments while waiting.
All I can say is that it was worth the wait and really the best bang for the buck I've had in awhile. The food was super yummy, filling (they don't skimp on the serving), and adequately priced. Service was awesome and the ambiance was really nice and refreshing. I've already recommended this place to my friends and might go back there soon! Photos below to prove Tablo's awesomeness :))
On-the-house iced tea for first time guests. We ordered the Tablo Nacho Grande and Soy Caramel Chicken Chops for appetizers.
From L-R: Herb Lemon Chicken Steak, Bourbon BBQ Pork Belly, and Salt and Pepper Pork Steak (my order...so good!!! The other ones are actually really good too, I had a slice :p )
Look at all the greens complementing the wooden furniture and ceiling planks. So spacious too. Just really nicely-decorated overall.
The faces of very satisified customers :)))
