Mesa @ SM Aura the Fort - Taguig

The food at this restaurant is very tasty. It is one of my preferred Filipino restaurants. The prices are reasonable. Well done, guys.

Dining with family and friends always makes my experience at a restaurant so much more enjoyable. Thank you to everyone who made my time in Manila and dining with my family one of the best days. Can't wait to see you all again soon!

I enjoyed the preparation of Filipino food at this restaurant. Our group, which consisted of about 20 hungry individuals, ordered a variety of dishes including Bagoong Fried Rice, Laing Two Ways, Crispy Boneless Tilapia, Pork Barbecue, Baked Scallops with garlic butter, Blue Marlin Belly, and Simply Grilled Giant Squid. We were all impressed with the delicious flavors and couldn't resist finishing every last bite, despite being completely stuffed. It was a truly satisfying meal that we all enjoyed.

The place is bit hidden at the fifth floor of the mall but it's worth a visit. Nice modern Asian fares with Filipino twist. I liked everything, the service is attentive.

Highlights:1. Must try: Giant stuffed squid, Garlic chicken, Boneless crispy pata, Halo-halo. We almost ordered everything on the menu but these ones really caught our taste buds. 2. Very friendly and accommodating staff. Proactive.3. Waiting time is reasonable despite the influx of dinersLowlights:1. If you will order vegetable dishes, their servings are very small, one serving only. It is also not reasonably priced. Very fancy presentation, but not worth your peso.
