Anchors Away at Don Henrico's, Glorietta 1 Makati

Went exploring at the newly opened Glorietta 1 in Makati. With the old stores and new ones soon opening, this was definitely a place to watch out for. 

Dinnertime found us walking around the second floor and the choice was down to Sbarro and Don Henrico's. But with a large crowd and a long waiting list, it seems like Sbarro was set for another time.

Onward to Don Hen.

Their waiting area had this on display.

Starboard or Port?

After ordering looked around and took a picture of the fixtures. 

With the peepholes & metal lighting, it really felt like we were in a ship.

Here's the first dish that came out.

Don Henrico's Buffalo Wings 3 pcs (Php 380)

With it's delicious smoky aroma, you can't go wrong with Don Henrico's Buffalo Wings. These 3 pieces of chicken delight were well-coated with their very own BBQ sauce. My only worry before ordering was that the breast part might be hard to chew but the first bite was enough to soothe my apprehensions. Everything was juicy and tender! Definitely our favorite with or without the creamy ranch dressing. FS Verdict? Highly recommended.

Bacon Cheeseburger Pizza 14 inch (Php 530)

Upon the waiter's recommendation, we went with this. The red & green colors brought by the veggies made the pizza look light and refreshing. As promised, this was loaded with bacon, beef, mushroom and onions. FS verdict? The meats were all a bit bland. Was looking for the cheeseburger flavor but was disappointed.

Spaghetti Meatballs Family size (Php 440)

For a family size serving, it's sad to see that this only had 2 meatballs. FS verdict? The tomato sauce was a bit flat. FS Recommendation? Pile on the Parmesan cheese.

We were only a party of 2 and with that much food, we had to take some home. Had the server pack the pizza and pasta. She came back (and here's when the night started to suck) with our 14" pizza placed inside a 10" pizza box. First thought was, "How the hell was she able to put the pizza slices in there?"

Well we opened the box and tada, the pizza slices were piled on top of one another. :x 

SQUISHED PIZZA + TOPPINGS STUCK ON BOX = BAD SERVICE.

Good food. Sucky service. Hay...
