Limbaga 77 Cafe Restaurant

Celebrated our company's Christmas Party here last week. Despite the enjoyable atmosphere with Christmas bonuses and gift exchanges, the overall experience fell a bit short. While the menu offered a variety of dishes, we found the food to be less than fresh. Additionally, the event area, although spacious, lacked comfort as only one air conditioner and one ceiling fan were operational, making it a bit uncomfortable while we commence our program.

It’s always a great experience to dine here at Limbaga 77. Foremost is the good service here. The servers are nice, knowledgeable of the menu, and very attentive. They offer a variety of Filipino dishes from seafood, chicken, beef, pork and vegetable options. And the food always tastes delicious. Try the seafood adobo! The ambience is also nice, with Filipino design details. Two thumbs up!

Limbaga 77 is a cozy cafe/restaurant offering Filipino fare like pancit, inihaw na manok, and mango con sago, plus cakes and coffee. The servers are responsive and attentive and the food was flavorful and decent. Decor is also nice. But, my family and I encountered a few speedbumps: • Several of the menu items we initially asked for weren't available, including the stuffed squash flowers, grilled tuna, brewed coffee, cake, and iced tea. We had to settle for other available items (tofu and mushrooms, roasted chicken, and four-flavor chicken wings). • The music was too loud and the song choices (90s pop) detracted from the cozy and restful ambience. It was borderline jologs. Other customers had to talk loudly to compensate for the blaring music. • Most of our food took almost 30 minutes to be served. The customers at the neighboring tables (one of them was around 8 months pregnant, and another one was a senior citizen) were also grumbling about their wait. • The sizzling tofu and mushrooms were tasty but drowning under a thick blanket of mayonnaise. Suggestions for Management: • Preemptive suggestions - To the manager and staff, if you know you are out of some menu items, inform your customers before they order, then suggest other available dishes. This helps prevent disappointment and can reduce walkouts. • ETA - If the food will take over 10 minutes to serve, again, inform the customers in advance that their order will be served in x minutes, and ask if that will be ok. That shows you are considerate of your customers' time. • Music - Play music that will create a good overall experience for your customers, and at an unintrusive volume. Please avoid jeepney pop. Again, this is to show basic consideration for the people who pay to be there. • Tofu and mushrooms - Use less mayo. You'll save more on the cost and it's nicer to see all the ingredients. Since it was our first visit and we enjoyed the food, we are willing to give this place another chance, in the hopes of having a better experience in the future.
