This place has that rustic feel of some restaurants in Tagaytay. We visited at night and was drizzling, so I can't say how this place is in broad daylight. The place is huge. It has a sitting capacity of a small city. The designs and the thingamabobs had coherence. The food was great too. The pompano was prepared well, and tasted fresh. Here's the thing, fish has to be prepared well and cooked properly to get that fishy thingy from the fish. You know what I mean. My tongue okayed the other food. However, just one tiny thing, I wish the ribs were a little bit more tender. The mark of a good restaurant for me is the serving of water even without a request to the waiting staff. They tick the box for this. Overall, the experience is worth repeating. Will definitely visit the place the next time I'm in town.

I celebrated my 24th birthday here. We came across this place on our way to Dahilayan and decided to stop by for a meal before heading home. The staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive. Even though we didn’t explicitly tell them it was my birthday, we ordered a cake, and to our surprise, the staff gathered to greet me with a cheerful "Happy Birthday." It caught me off guard and made me a bit shy, but I truly appreciated the gesture and had a great time. The food was delicious, and we’ll definitely return if we get the chance!

great service and ambience—we’re so used to bad customer service in the area that their staff really stood out. attentive waiters. fast responses. ambience is also excellent. rustic vibes. great mountain view. nice to have a solid conversation with friends and family. menu is varied enough to cater to different tastes. just to nitpick, our seafood chowder didnt taste like seafood though. tablea cake is highly recommended. coffee in general (i ordered mocha) not so much. palabok was lovely too (generous in chicharon, noodles, and sauce but lacking in shrimp flavor).

Delicious food and a very good atmosphere! A must-try is their kare-kare. The place is spacious enough to accommodate many guests and also provides ample parking space. However, waited more than 30 minutes for our orders to be served. Overall, our Ricardo's was great.
