i'm glad a lot of people share the same opinion as me regarding myron's. the first time I was there I just wanted to try someting light and had the caesar salad. can't go wrong with that. but what made myron's dish better was it was exactly the right amount - just enough to whet your appetite. that's why it IS called an appetizer.

the next time i ate there, my brother and i ordered the beef belly salpicao and coconut curried vegetable samosas to start with, then we had the penne with italian sausage and grilled white snapper with sundried tomato sauce. all of them were excellent!

again, each serving was just exactly enough, and the different flavors really came out in your tongue. service is good also -the waiters always smile,are eager to serve and make you feel so at ease.

i'm definitely going back...and i'm going to enjoy one of those big steaks i saw in the next table!

just ate at myron’s last night. was not dissapointed. super yummy. I had the Louise’s choice, and red grape shake. My husband had the corned beef, also very good. i knew that i’d love the food here because i’ve been having it a lot in salcedo market place at the weekend gourmet. excellent and straightforward food, no “arte”.

Visited Myron’s June 27, our anniversary, actually 2nd time na for me and my wife. The 8oz steak I ordered was perfectly grilled to my liking. My wife ordered the chorizo pasta and I had to help her finish it, she was too stuffed. The pasta too was very satisfying. Try the red grape shake, you wont regret it. Contrary to the other comments, I commend Myrons for having a crew that’s alert and very courteous. We really had a great time, I also did spot some name-droppables during our dinner Vhong Navvaro with Desiree del Vale and Mr. Bobong Velez with Ms Maricar Nieto among the few. Am sure to be back.

Honesty, I’ve become quite careful of what you review, Lor. I think I’m captivated by the writing and the photos more than anything. One of the restos you reviewed called Sakae (owned by UCC) super sucks says my foodie friends. The Cello’s donuts were a disappointment too. It tastes day-old even when it’s fresh out of the oven. The latest is Myron’s which got terrible reviews from a good number of friends I have. In fact, a friend clutched my arm tightly to dissuade me from ever going there. At the end of the day, I know that food appreciation is personal… I still love your blog. Will just be careful though …

Hi,

Just wanna share our dining experience at Myron's last night.
We tried out:
1. Paolo (5 oz) - beef steak-like-thinness
2. Louie (8 oz) - lots of fat
3. Myron (14 oz) - lots of fat too
4. Australian grain-fed porterhouse - was leaner compared to the others
5. Baby back ribs - was told this was no good at all
6. Caesar salad - 4 leaves of lettuce drizzled with sauce bacon and tiny croutons

We were very disappointed with the portions. The 8 and 14 oz portions and thickness were satisfactory if not for the sizeable chunks of fat. The sidings were measly as well. A small scoop of mashed potatoes or thinly-cut fries plus an assortment tiny veggies (2 sticks of asparagus, half a tomato, half a head of garlic, a small slice of cucumber).

Lori,

The food is good and maybe some of the readers just get into the opening logistics issues. Thanks for sharing this, and again sorry for the offending question in my mail.

Only complaint is the value since you could argue that you can eat in better restaurants with almost the same price. But the food is good !

Hubby and I went to Myron’s last night after reading your blog. We really enjoyed the food! We ordered
- steaks with foie gras (mine 5oz, his 8oz)…it was really good and we thought the prices were reasonable considering its in power plant (rent is expensive no matter which floor you’re on!). We liked Florabel’s (Podium) steak too but her portion looks like the 5oz one at Myron’s and she charges P900.
- the oysters rockefeller…good!
- caesar salad…very good!
- grape shake…kinda watery vs. cibo’s but it’s ok.
We’ll definitely bring the rest of the family to Myron’s. Hubby loves steak so let us know if you find another good steak place!

Myron’s was also a big disappointment for me and my wife. We went there last Sunday for lunch, only to find that 4-5 items on their menu was not in stock. Who handles their inventory? Geez…

Then my steak comes out, part rare, part medium-rare, part medium! I’ve never seen a steak cooked three-ways before. The fois gras was also overdone, as it was like a puddle of shortening on top of my steak! It was absurd. Then, AFTER I was halfway thru my steak, they approach my wife to inform her that the item she ordered (salmon) wasn’t in stock! Inconsiderate service!

Also, to those who’ve been saying that steaks are cheap at P140 or P160, please consider that you are buying local beef, making it considerably cheaper since pretty much nothing is done to our cows to imrpove their flavor. Angus beef still remains expensive.

Guess I’m not alone. I went there with my wife a few weeks ago and we ordered the oysters rockefeller (was so-so) ,pumpkin soup (I expected a bigger bowl, not small cup), the beef belly (ditto on the malansa and full of fat) and the salad (only good thing we liked).

At least you had a nice experience.
