I thought I made the right decision to purchase vouchers from Rue Bourbon, Eastwood. Who wouldn't be lured to read a great marketing scheme - 40% Off: P599 for P1000 worth of Culinary Food Delights? Even the photo from MetroDeal looks as tempting!

I was robbed a good sum of money totaling to P5,617.50 (I bought four vouchers amounting to P2,396 which is equivalent to P4,000 worth of food. In addition, I paid P3,221.50 for the excess orders). I thought I did my assignment by reading reviews from Zomato and the blogs I've visited. I discovered and read a mixture of write-ups. And my rant is an addition to negate their claim - a culinary food delight? Sigh!
The Bad The Ugly
- I had the notion that the size of the food served in a place offering American cuisine were huge or for sharing. The prices were comparable to the likes of The Racks, TGIF, Chilis or Burgoo. Their serving was small.
- The food weren't fresh especially the meat. It tasted like it were cooked, kept in the freezer then reheated a number of times.
- The ranch sauce included in the Soul Platter tasted like flour.
- The photos from the menu did not look anything like the food served.
My taste buds expected much more for the whopping price of their dishes. I was also with my brothers - a sous chef and a gourmand. And the criticisms were never-ending. Our palates were not tickled. At all.
