- The Lobby -

The lobby feels grand, and the couches are inviting. Its vibe is very classy but homey at the same time. The accents are classic and well thought of, as the combination of colors wood & white and everything in between works.

DINNER

The view accompanied us beautifully. For that night, we had clam chowder soup & mashed potatoes, truffle grilled cheese with fries, mezze platter, mushroom truffle pasta, adlai & chicken zaatar, braised lamb shanks with rice & tablea chocolate smores for dessert.

The clam chowder soup was the best clam chowder soup I ever tasted. The bread bowl complemented the soup very well, and the chowder soup was very flavorful and creamy. The consistency of the soup was perfect! The mushroom truffle pasta also stood out, as I am not a fan of other servings of pasta aside from the regular spaghetti; this was an exception. The heavy truffle creme sauce and rich serving of Parmesan cheese made the difference. Sarap!

For the Adlai & chicken zaatar, the zaatar spices were new to my taste buds. It was salty, tangy, and a bit sour, but it did go well with the chicken. Just make sure to consume it immediately, as the adlai rice softens quickly. The braised lamp shanks were also good but its texture which was sliding off the bone, was the real deal about it.

Still done on "The Nest", the place transforms with the help of the light into a breakfast haven in the sky.
