The experience is excellent. It has very sumpotuous food and drinks. The interior design is very instagramable. The employees are very accomodating and good looking(its a plus). They were like being trained how to make a very nice photo to the customers. Of course, the thing that you would always want to go back their is the food that has very nice presentation except that it is very palatable, it is very nice for your Gram...well arrange and its 5 star for me. Try it and have an excellent experience.

The midnight cake is one of their best-sellers. Per can is at P350.00.

I was invited by a friend who held her birthday celebration in the 2nd floor of the place. The place looks decent and spacious.
