Bamboo Food & Music - Taiwala

This restaurant boasts a charming ambiance, perfect for drinks and chilling. However, our dinner experience was disappointing. The salads we ordered were mostly lettuce with minimal toppings, and the prices didn't match the quality. Vegetarian options were limited. Great for drinks, not recommended for dinner. Meal type: Dinner

The place itself is very cool and with a lot of atmosphere in the main center of Alona Beach. We ordered Hummus, it was nothing special, Caesar salad, much better, grilled squid stuffed with vegetables, very rich, and crab, very tasty. For dessert, some mango, also delicious. The music was too loud. The impeccable service, very nice. They took out all our food at once and that overwhelmed us a bit. The type of food is relatively international. If you want to have a drink/cocktail afterwards, this is your place.

I visited this restaurant around 7:00 pm on August 6th (Sunday). Everything was fine until it came time to pay the bill. The total came out to 1610 pesos and I paid 2010 pesos, expecting 400 pesos in change. However, the server only returned 200 pesos. I was unsure if this was an attempt to get a bigger tip or just a mistake, but it left me feeling frustrated. I ended up calling the server back and asking for the additional 200 pesos. Despite this hiccup, the food, drinks, and atmosphere at the restaurant were all great. It's just a shame that the checkout process tainted an otherwise pleasant experience. Perhaps this is why they were being overly kind in the first place!

I have never tasted a more delicious and large Caesar salad in my life! It was definitely worth the price. My dining companion and I shared it and it was very filling. The atmosphere of the restaurant was great and the staff were excellent.

Not easy to get a good salad in Philippines. This was not a bad one, even if it was most green salat, little tomatoes, cucumber, feta. Ambiente very nice, good live music. Service: Dine in Food: 4 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 5
