Gumbo, a taste of New Orleans as the slogan says.  Upon entering the restaurant you will notice a lot of memorabilia hanging on their walls.  Different states and it’s capital of United States were posted on dining tables as their names.  It was a cool concept.  We were escorted to our seats, which by the way is a comfortable couch.  Having that cool and comfortable ambience, suddenly I felt the baby back ribs craving.  Your order of bourbon-style ribs with two side dishes of your own choice, I chose mashed potatoes and corn.  Their version of baby back ribs is kinda sweet to my taste, I noticed a small part of lean meat for me to indulge more of the bones of the ribs itself, while the mashed potatoes are really yummy! It was creamy though I have noticed chunks of potatoes rather than purely mashed it’s still delicious.  You can choose sizes between petite P495.00 or grande P795.00.  I give this a rating of  3/5.

My choice of pasta then was Classic Spaghetti Carbonara.  Their version of carbonara is just ordinary, cream based pasta with their special herbs, crunchy bacon and parmesan cheese.  The taste was alright, and expected for a typical cream based dish.  I give this 4/5 rating.
