Torch Bar and Restaurant

We usually came across Torch Bar and Restaurant going to Greenhills but I never really had the chance to visit it. Finally, a second branch opened at the UP Town Center,  I felt that urge to really try it that time. THANK YOU for taking me here! xoxo

So, here's our experience and what we had:

Truffle Fries
Crispy potato fries tossed in truffle oil and served with their Peppermill dressing
(Php 234.95 + 10% service charge)

For starters, we had this one out of my curiosity. But, it gave us disappointment... it has the truffle smell but the truffle flavor is non-existent plus it's very oily.   

We were so eager to try 2 of their bestsellers (Peppermill's Signature Roll & Volcano Roll), however, it was already out of stock that night. So, we had these as alternatives.

Smoked Jabañero Glazed Salmon

served with Unagi citrus sauce, mango salsa, and garlic parsley 
(Php 384.95 + 10% service charge)

A dish for healthy eaters. We're big salmon lovers and this is a thumbs up for us. 

Philly Cheese Steak 
Classic Philly cheese steak  sandwich filling on a fresh, oven-baked,
thin crust topped with mozzarella and cream cheese.
(Php 349.95 + 10% service charge)

A thin crust pizza loaded with toppings and even have my favorite cheeses in it, so, I commend this one. 

PROS:

• The place is patronized by a lot of diners and best to come with family or a group.
• The interior is simple and elegant. 
• I am not a fan of restaurants which are into fusion cuisines but I commend the food here. They are nicely presented and have fine selections. Plus, you can order alcohol and teas. 

CONS:

• None that I've observed.

THE VERDICT: ★ ★ ★ 

Overall, I like the place. I could come back here or try the Greenhills branch (for a more barkada night-out vibe) with friends. For next time, I would definitely try their Beef Salpicao Medallion,  Peppermill's Signature Roll & Volcano Roll.

P.S. Already tried this restaurant? Feel free to share your experience and recommend a dish on the comment section! Thank you! xoxo
