We went in for lunch and despite the music in the background, we can still actually hear ourselves talk. Never liked restaurants with music on full blast. The food was good, service was excellent

This Resto barnis located in Bonifacio Distric in Panagdait Cebu city. The place is in 2nd floor so it has the overlooking feel and a plus point on the ambiance... Prices are just right for the place.

We went there for a romantic dinner. It had a group that was very loud. We walked out just before ordering. So much for a romantic dinner there. We went below to the Thai place. Much more romantic.

A great place to dine in and enjoy good music and drinks with friends. They have a live DJ guaranteed to keep you and your friends dancing all night. Their Rockefeller Oysters is a must try!

The ambience is nice, and the music is also okay. The food price is definitely way above the grid. We got the flatbread pizza, nothing special, forgettable taste.

They have limited wine options, and the price is also high. We got the chardonnay wine, which is a great white wine. For just the pizza and bottle of wine, it was an easy 2100 pesos for them.

Happy Hour! Quality cocktails with buy one get one offer 3pm till 7pm for March 2023.

They serve a good Old Fashioned Cocktail for buy 1 get 1. I shared the deal with hubby.

The bar is a handsome showcase of liquor and bartenders flexing their skills.

The servers are busy but attentive.

Had oysters & satay to pair.

Kids would like the pizza, burgers, chicken poppers and potato wedges.

Dining is mainly downstairs. There is more seating on the 2nd floor as well.

The restroom is kept clean and there are handwashing stations outside and inside the ladies' room.

The music turns non lounge after dinner time then the crowd shifts to drinkers.

It is ok to bring kids for lunch and early dinner. They do serve breakfast as well.

Ambiance was ok. At like 8:30pm they turn the lights down to give you more of a resto-pub kind of feel. There’s also a DJ in the second floor so it’s somewhat loud. Food was ok at the time but our entire group of friends got food poisoning from the oysters a day after. Would not return.
