1st Wedding Anniversary Date at The Nest

It's our first wedding anniversary. Me and my wife had a early dinner date at The Nest. This restaurant is located at Vivere Hotel's 31st floor (roofdeck) in Alabang, Philippines.

The restaurant is not yet crowded because it's still early for dinner. The ambience is really nice, There's a dress code if you want to eat here, but you're not required to dress fancy.

The weather is cloudy and there's a light rain. So our reserved table at the viewing area is unavailable so we have to eat indoors. Still the view is nice. I can see the Laguna Lake from here but it's obscured by the hotel nearby.

We sat near the window, so we can view the city.

The restaurant have a nice menu selection. They got Filipino, Italian and American dishes here.

We ordered two appetizers. This salad with a nice and tasty dressing...

...and the Quattro Frommagi (Four Cheese) Pizza. This pizza tastes really good.

We brought my mother so that she can enjoy eating here too. She ordered this chicken leg with fried rice and veggies. I tried it, it tastes good but I'm not a fan of chicken legs.

My wife's dish is the Rigatoni Bolognese pasta. Now I like the taste of this one.

I ordered my usual "safe food": Burgers and fries. This is called "Burger for the Big Boys". And yes it's a huge burger. It tastes great but some parts of the 100% beef patty is really salty.

I also ordered a Dark Cookie Crumble frappe. I really like frappes.

The restaurant gave us a cute slice of anniversary cake. I wish it was bigger because I want some more.

Before leaving, I took some more photos around the hotel. We were hoping to see a clear sunset, but the weather is cloudy so it's a bummer.

Still I make the best of the view and took this photo of a plane flying on a sunset.

While waiting for the elevator to arrive, I took this photo. The hotel have nice decorations...

And a very vertigo inducing view from top floor to bottom floor.

Even thought the weather is kinda not in our favor, we enjoyed our early dinner at The Nest. The price of the dishes is affordable and they taste great and very presentable. The place is nice and the staff are friendly too.

Cheers!
