I've had Max's Restaurant in the Philippines. It's not the same here in Toronto.
The service was outstanding in one of the Manila restaurants.
The food also tasted much more fresh.
The prices are not reasonable for the quality of food and service.
Though, to be fair, there aren't many Filipino restaurants in the area. The competition simply isn't high enough for Filipino food.
I came in for dinner after seeing a raptors game advertisement on yelp. Excited to have Filipino food and watch the raptors game, I came in with good expectations.
They #1 did not play the game and after my request to switch the channel twice, they did.
After they changed the channel, they left the TVs at 0 volume. I needed to request EIGHT TIMES before they actually made it restaurant volume - you know, to the point where I don't hear dishes, forks and knives tapping each other. It was so awkward. Everyone in the restaurant wanted to watch it too.
I won't be back unless I'm feeling like halo halo- which is not a bad dessert.
