DeMARS - Antipolo

Uhhmm where do I start? I forgot what exactly we ordered, but we ordered steak, pasta and a fish dish. Quite pretentious about the "Gordon Ramsay" claim ... because the food we ordered was UGH or maybe it was Father's Day when we went ... but all in all ... ????

Bad-good-great-excellent Location: excellent Ambience: great Service: great Food: We have been here twice, the first time was disappointing but thought we would try again. We came back today for breakfast and ordered the full English breakfast. The menu said, disappointingly, there would be English sausage and beans. This included 2 hot dogs and probably canned pork and beans along with the other foods. It wasn't worth the money at all other than that the view was breathtaking. I think that's why we came back. Price: bad Toilet: worst

I've been to Sumulong for dinner several times, but recently visited DeMars. The hotel looks simple from the outside in, which is why I was surprised that the menu was on the higher end of the range. They also serve the usual free starters as in restaurants of the same concept: bread, garden salad and soup (malunggay). I haven't started my main courses yet, but I've been half full - in a good way as they're all fresh and tasty. I ordered Steak Ala Pie and Malunggay iced tea while my partner got the catch of the day (sea bass). Unfortunately I was brought the wrong dish (braised pork belly). I wanted to have it changed but thought the waiter might be charged for it so I decided to take it instead. To my surprise, the pork belly was a lovely accident - it's delicious, juicy, and melts in your mouth. Glad the waiter messed up my orders! The Malunggay iced tea was great too, I had to order another one. And to end my night, they even served us a free creme brulee as a thank you for the mix up. One of the best I've had in a while. Overall it was a pleasant dinner and I wouldn't worry about going back. The only comment I have is that they need to train their staff better because they also forgot to tell us that their credit card machine broke down at the last minute. Good thing we had cash. Could have given them a 4/5 if it hadn't been for these issues.

We went there earlier to celebrate Mother's Day as we saw on some reviews that the food was great there. We thought the restaurant was full of people, but it's not. Then, as we ordered, a lot of food is not available to believe it's only 2pm (crispy pata, steamed lapu lapu, lasagna, special pancit, peri peri chicken). Then there was this incident that they informed us that the peri peri chicken is not available (which is my sister's order) as some of us have already got the food. Other than that, the food took so long to even bring dessert to our table! Well that's for the food. It's bad on duty too. You did not tell us that the MENU is NOT UPDATED. So the price for this STRAWBERRY SHAKE is 125 on the menu and we ordered 2. When we got the bill it said 310 for 2 STRAWBERRY SHAKE and from there the waiter told us the menu had not been updated. The price for this shake is 155 each (HELLO CONSUMER ACT ?!). Definitely not going to this restaurant again. ????????????????????????
