✨ HighlightThis restaurant is located in Ermita. It's near a 7-11. The entrance is nice with a carved wooden double door. The interiors are ok. There's a second level for events as they do advertise the they're into events. The food is a bit on the high side for what it is but it's good. Parking is very limited. The toilet is shared for men & women.→
