**Reservation Process:**
Antiguá Restaurant's online presence for reservations falls short, with delayed responses to messages, texts, and calls. It took three days to receive a reply via messenger, showcasing a lack of efficiency in managing booking requests.
It is also rude that all my calls are all declined and ignored.
**Advance Order Process:**
While they offer an option to order in advance, our experience was marred by delayed service. Despite placing an order two days early, the food arrived 1.5 hours late, leaving us hungry and frustrated with the sluggish service.
**Service:**
The waiter, though polite, seemed unprepared and uninformed about our reservation and advance orders, leading to repetition and disappointment. The lack of attention to pre-placed orders reflected poorly on their service standards.
He later asked me to show the list of advanced orders and he copied it in his little notebook. That’s when I knew that my advanced orders were not prepared in advance.
**Ambiance and Atmosphere:**
Antiguá Restaurant excels in creating a luxurious and calm ambiance, complemented by notable paintings from Philippine National Artists. The surroundings offer a visually appealing atmosphere, allowing patrons to appreciate art while waiting.
**The Food:**
1. **Seafood Chowder Soup:**
The soup lacked actual seafood elements, providing only the taste without the expected seafood bits. It resulted in a plain chowder soup with croutons.
2. **Seafood Medley Black Pasta Aglio Olio:**
The pasta, while decent, was slightly dry with inadequate seafood toppings. Mushroom abundance overshadowed the promised seafood, not justifying its price.
3. **Balsamic Grilled Pork Chops:**
Excellent plating and presentation showcased well-cooked, flavorful pork chops. However, the meat was overly marinated, exhibiting a hint of sourness, which may not suit all palates.
4. **Jasmine Rice:**
The rice received no complaints, as it was perfectly prepared, meeting expectations.
5. **NY Cheesecake:**
The cheesecake stood out with perfect flavor and texture. However, the graham foundation lacked butter, causing it to crumble when sliced.
**Overall:**
Antiguá Restaurant fell short of expectations in both service and food quality during our fine dining experience. Exploring different menu options might reveal their strengths in specific dishes.
