Food: 4⭐️ What stood out to us was how they weren’t afraid to push the flavors with bold combinations and contrasting textures that kept the dishes interesting. Our only minor gripe was that the main course didn’t quite match what was written on the menu, but thankfully, we still enjoyed it (and ended up being one of our highlights)
Service: 3.5⭐️ We got the second seating for dinner, and we think we would’ve enjoyed the experience more with the first seating. The servers were attentive, but the pacing felt a bit too slow and dragged towards the end.
Ambience: 4⭐️ Enjoyed the warm, intimate vibe. Really nice setting for slow dinner.
Value for Money: 4.5⭐️ spent around $115 per person (after tax and service charge) for the full course including the wine and cocktail

Great pictures. Celera ia my favorite among the Michelin Starred restaurants in the Philippines. I’d gone before they got theirs. Glad to see they continue to live up to the standard.
