Carmina is traveling to the United States to spend time with her family. My dad planned a family gathering for Mother's Day at their favorite Pinoy restaurant . Since reservations aren’t possible, we arrived an hour early to ensure we could get a table for twelve before everyone else showed up. As my dad approached Isla Grand , the branch we visited in Pleasant Hills, California , the host at the door said they could prepare a table for twelve at five o'clock. Later, the server called my dad's name and guided us to our table. The place was bustling with people enjoying meals and celebrating Mother's Day. On our first visit to Isla Grand, I was captivated by the décor, noticing many native items that gave the place a fancy yet authentic Filipino feel. They usually have a live band, but unfortunately, there was no entertainment the night we went. My family had spoken highly of Isla Grand and encouraged us to try the Filipino dishes we’ve been missing from back home. Lech...
Mom Violy had informed me that she was craving for steak and would like to eat for lunch.
Mom Violy was busy doing her errands. Carmina went to check where there was a steak restaurant near our location.
Mom Violy said, she remembered she saw Gulliver's Prime Ribs of Beef long time ago but couldn't remember the location.
Upon entering Great Eastern Hotel I had asked the person outside where Gulliver's Prime Ribs of Beef he had informed me to take the elevator it is on the 8th floor.
Mom Violy started remembering the last time she went there was when her cousin Pera was still alive bringing her to parties.
Reaching the 8th floor there is a brown door that say's Gulliver's leading to a fine dining room with so many tables.
The place looks fancy with a lot of friendly staff approaching you showing you to your table and handing you the menu.
Mom Violy was very hungry she kept asking where her clam chowder soup. The server went to follow up her clam chowder and gave us sour dough bread with butter to spread.
One of our family members had ordered mozzarella cheese for their appetizer.
To those who love to drink coffee they also have some to wake you up in the afternoon this one is Cappuccino Mocha.
Carmina's meal had arrived served at the table. I had ordered broiled salmon which you get to choose your sides. I had picked roasted potatoes that also came with carrots, chayote, broccoli and cauliflower and cream corn.
Mom Violy requested for her rib eye to be cooked in medium rare with mashed potatoes with mixed vegetables and cream corn.
Family member ordered Grilled Pork Tenderloin with mashed potatoes also includes with mixed vegetables and cream corn.
Carmina glanced from the menu saw they also serve desserts. Carmina had requested to have two slices of Grandma's Favorite Warm Apple Pie for takeout.
Highlights:
Mom Violy's cravings was satisfied. She said her rib eye was soft and easy for her to chew. Being a senior they usually are picky with their food.
Mom Violy said she liked her clam chowder eating with the free sour dough bread. She requested to be soft since she has a difficult time with her teeth.
It was Carmina's first time eating boiled salmon it was very tasty and soft. The serving was big had leftover to take home.
My roasted potatoes were delicious my family was able to try it as well.
Family member liked their tenderloin the serving was big able to bring it home.
Rule of thumb when you order appetizers and have sour bread to eat usually you get full once your meal comes to you.
Apple pie is good taste of cinnamon when you bite into it. Apple pie has always been my favorite some people like it with vanilla ice cream.
Those who need to use the restroom it is located from the second door leading straight ahead two separate doors for each gender.
