    I love the decor in cocorama, very 60s and psychedelic!

    The food is pretty good too, mostly breakfast food which can definitely hit the spot. I love their pancakes!

    One thing though... the music is often too loud.

    A Lost Credit Card -- Bad service But ok food

    I went to new orleans twice and found their food ok. At least its different because it is perhaps the only new orlean themed resto here. I enjoyed their beignet for example and i dont think any other place serves that in manila (that I know of).

    But their service is horrible, and their customer service is just as bad. one time, a friend of mine went theri with her family to celebrate a birthday and after eating paid with the father's credit card, only to have the resto LOSE his credit card. The worst part about it was that the restaurant manager and staff wouldnt admit to losing it and it was only when the family insisted on finding out what happened to the card that they finally said they DID lose it.

    It turns out some waiter "returned" the credit card to another table to sign and the people at that table then signed the charge slip and took it. So the staff kept telling my friend and her family that they knew where the card was and promised to get it back since they supposedly knew who now had the card.

    But even when the management figured it all out, the resto staff treated my friend's family with suspicion, especially when the supervisor arrived. I guess they thought they were trying to pull a scam, but remember that their staff LOST the credit card.

    Here's another sign of bad customer service by their staff... after they finally figured out that the resto was in the wrong, they then handed the charge slip (from the credit card charge) and then "asked" that the father sign for the food.

    Ok. talk about a slap in the face. obviously, he refused. They had been there for a long time just sorting it out already, and the staff wasn't so nice in dealing with it either.

    Too bad for new orleans. The father of my friend loves eating out. and if he had liked new orleans, he would have been a very frequent customer. As it is, the whole family now has bad memories of new orleans, and wouldnt even think of going back there EVER.

    I suggest that if you do go to new orleans, enjoy the food but watch your credit cards.

    Oh and new orleans never did get the credit card back to my friend and her family. They wound up cancelling the card instead. Talk about hassles.

    Hard to find, easy to love
    Galileo Enoteca, Mandaluyong
    Rating - 3.25 - 3.25 - 3.25 - 3.25 - 3.25
    Food - 4 - 4 - 4 - 4 - 4
    Service - 3 - 3 - 3 - 3 - 3

    Galileo enoteca was notorious for being hard to find. One had to go through the byzantine paths of mandaluyong to find this very out of the way place. One time I went there with my girlfriend's family, it caused a minor argument over directions between her father and her brother.

    But once you have found it, you will definitely say its worth it. Not only is the food good quality and authentic, but it is also plentiful! Get there special set meals which is a fantastic deal and more than worth the time to get there.

    Service can be a bit slow though since some of the corners of the resto are out of the sight of the waiters, and some of the decor seemed a bit cheap (painted on) but overall, this is a resto very easy to love. And how can you not? With relatively inexpensive food (for what you pay) and excellent tasting delicacies, it is very much worth the difficulty of getting there.

    I love Bubba!
    Bubba Gump Shrimp Co., Greenbelt 3

    The food in bubba gump is great. I remember for about a year, every special event in our family would be celebrated there. My sis would get the bucket of boat trash, my mom would get the shrimp new orleans, I'd get the net catch, while my brother would get almost anything he wanted on the menu, and it was always good.

    Most people don't even realize however, that Bubba gump is more than shrimps. Their dessert was great as well. I loved their alabama mud pie, which is so big we usually just order one for the whole family to share.

    Combine the great food with the absolutely fantastic service and you have all the makings of good memories in a fun resto.

    My family has lots of good memories of bubba gump. Maybe you should consider building some memories there as well.
