Capiz: more than Just Seafood: Mariscos (modern Asian Cuisine)

I wasn't able to write for some time now because i thought that the places I've been to recently didn't have that much "umph" in the overall experience. I was thinking that I won't be saying a lot of good stuff about their restaurant so I guess I won't be writing about them. But then a friend of mine told me that I should write about it weather it is bad or good since that would be the essence of a review. I told him that I did't want to make bad publicity for the establishments. He said, "there is no good or bad publicity, when your write about it, whether bad or good, it's gonna be read." Well, in that case, here I go.

Last November 25, my wife and I went to join my in-laws to celebrate my Father-in-law's birthday at "Mariscos," at the Vicinity of the Capiz Provincial Park at Roxas City, Capiz.

Well, the Place was nice and cozy. it was set up to make you feel welcome. And the Ceiling...
well...

The Capiz shells that hang from the ceiling creates a relaxing "running water" sound every time a breeze comes around.

Place is well lit and well decorated.

My 1-year old daughter enjoyed discovering the corners of the place and earning a smile from each of the food service crew members. The service was so-so, polite and attentive. They made me feel like they were doing their job rather than enjoying serving the costumers.

In my experience as a waiter back in the days, I would try to make the costumers feel like I want to serve them because I like them rather than I'm polite and attentive because I am paid to do it. And even in the other restaurants I have been in, it's more enjoyable for the costumers if the service crew looks like they're enjoying it.

Now for the food.

from the first look, the Menu poses nothing special, huh...
well, I'll tell you...

We ordered a serving of Pork Sisig. It was good but it wasn't that good. (I have tasted better)

then we had some shrimp curry and some chicken...
yeah, well, my dad makes a meaner curry and the chicken, although tasty, it was a bit dry...

The Chop Suey was good though...

and Finaly, my wife ordered their Spare ribs... (No Photo. My wife attacked it before I could take my camera phone out.) the Ribs were great, with a scale from 1-5; 5 being the best I've tasted, it's pretty close. I would give it a 4.

Another thing I would give them a High Rate for is the Comfort Room.
Clean and scented with running water and I like the way they arranged the amenities too.

I didn't get to ask for the owner's name and the chef's cause my eldest daughter was already getting restless.

here are the rest of the photos...
