My partner purchased a voucher at
Deal Grocer for Draft Gastropub for 850 pesos (20.14 USD) good for two people.
Last week, we went to the restaurant which is located at Unit C The Fort
Entertainment Center, 7th Ave., Fort Bonifacio, Taguig.
Our reservation was between 1:30
p.m. to 2:00 p.m. but we were running late due to the heavy traffic at C-5 and
I had to turn around to Edsa which also had heavy traffic. I called the
restaurant and asked if we could extend our reservation but the lady on the
phone said that they would not be accepting vouchers after 3:00 p.m.
We got to the restaurant at 2:45
p.m. and a waiter greeted us. I showed him the voucher and he said that he
would check. The lady cashier said that it was already late but I told her that
I called and said that we were stuck at C-5 and Edsa. They made us wait just
standing by the bar for almost 10 minutes. For a restaurant, that was mere
empty and only had 3 tables to wait and tons of available chairs. They should
have at least asked us to sit for while waiting as a sign of courtesy.
We were finally approached by the
waiter and he led us to our table. Our voucher included a breaded camembert
cheese with some greens for appetizer, for drinks they made us choose between
iced-tea and Pilsner Urquell beer. I chose to have iced-tea and my partner had
the beer.
While
waiting for our order, my partner saw a mouse running around our couch. I hope
they could address this problem by having a better exterminator.
After a few minutes, our drinks were served. The
iced-tea tasted fine at the beginning but as it progressed it became bitter
with an after taste. I just asked for 2 glasses of water instead. For the main course, we had the chicken
schnitzel with fries and salad. I must say the chicken schnitzel was tasty.
After 20 minutes or so, the spaghetti meat balls were served. They put too much
herb on the meatballs and we were not able to enjoy and savor it because it was
just too strong.
I would rate the Draft Gastropub a 6
out of a scale of 10. It was alright to try it once but that’s it.
