Highlands Prime Steakhouse

We were a party of 5, the only ones in the entire restaurant on a Friday night. Service was either too attentive or unaware of our existence. Steak was v good for Manila. Pricing v competitive.

💯A very relaxing place
💯Super delicious food

We had a family lunch day after my wedding, we checked in at Privato and we decided to have lunch somewhere in Capitol Commons. Looking for a place to have lunch, we saw Highlands Bistro, since we liked the place, and thought that the food is good, so we booked a table for 7pax..

Everything taste good!! The Ribs, pasta, bread, everything we ordered!!

We’ll dine in here again soon!😊👍🏻💯

🏖 AMBIENCE:
So far the most beautiful interior design I've seen in a restaurant!!! The place reminds me of an American-Australian bright and woody luxurious rest house that I get to see only in the television.
Simple and relaxing.

🍽 FOOD & 🍹DRINKS (What caught the attention of my tongue):

1. Signature Mushroom Truffle Pasta (P380 single serving/ P550 for sharing)

- It is soooo goood. The first time it touched my lips, I instantly connected with the way it tastes. It felt like it was an awakening after. Haha! It is a must try and plesse order the for sharing.

2. Classic Prime Rib eye (P1560 for 10 oz. / P3120 for 20 oz.)
The meat was tender and it almost kinda melts in your mouth, tasty and juicy. 

3. Chicken Barbecue 
- Nicely done barbecue. Meat was tender and tasty

4. Donut!!! Yes!!! Their donut does taste good!!! Sweetness is just right and the chocolate taste nice as well. Perfectly balanced.

A taste of class and fine dining

Highlands Bistro was first known as Highlands Prime Steakhouse from MOA, they moved to Oranbo, Pasig in Estancia Mall. The overall look of this place gives a comfortable and homey vibe that gives you a cozy feeling when you dine in. It's like you're inside a well-built cabin. 

If you ever decide to eat here during your lunch break, you can choose from one of their Executive Set Meals. Php 300.00+ for their 2-course meals and Php 400.00+ 3-course meals. And if you don't have time to eat your dessert, you can eat it to go!

I got to taste their Hot and Spicy Chicken Wings as appetizers. They were so juicy and it was marinated very well that the taste lasted up to the bones. If that doesn't rave up your appetite, I don't know what will. 

For their mains, I tried the Barbecue Chicken Thighs which were also juicy and tender. Perfectly barbequed. It is truly satisfying to have this one for lunch. I think I also got a taste of their Tuna Ala Pobre but I thought I heard it was salmon so that was what was in my mind when I tasted it. It was good, nevertheless.

For their dessert, you can choose from Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream or Choco Mousse, this just really matters whether you're a chocolate or a vanilla person. But for their dessert-to-go, you can have one of the best doughnuts I have ever had in my life. They also have lots of flavors in store so make sure you ask.

For all your other meals, you can also have delectable and succulent meats that are just on a whole new level of taste sensation. 

Baby Back Ribs (Php 700.00 for half a rack and Php 1200.00 for a full one): these dry rub ribs are perfectly cooked that you won't have trouble eating them from the bone. It tastes even better with the sauce. Thank goodness their were fries on the side because you're really gonna want some carbs to go with this.

Classic Prime Rib Eye (Php 1560.00 for 10oz and Php 3120.00 for 20oz): the highlight of my visit here. Who doesn't love a classic rib eye to bless their taste buds every now and then? It was so tender that it was easy to chew and perfectly cooked medium rare. This is meat you're gonna be thanking the chef for. 

Shrimp Penne in Tomato Cream Sauce (Php 380.00 for single and Php 600.00 for sharing): creamy tomato sauce is an unusual pair of combination on a pasta for me but hey, if it works, I'll eat it. This one definitely did so don't mind if I have some more, please. The perfect balance of sourness with a creamy texture was such a delight for my mouth.

Signature Mushroom Truffle Pasta (Php 380.00 for single and Php 550.00 for sharing): this is another must try. This is one genuine truffle pasta that is just a taste of heaven. It's one of those "close your eyes as you chew" food. It's that good. There's not much I can do to describe how good it is, you'll have to taste it to see what I'm talking about.

Cajun Grilled Salmon Fillet (Php 780..00): served with fresh Ratatouille under it. This salmon was so flaky and went perfectly with the creamy white sauce it came with. It's a wonder how they can cook such a thick slice of salmon so perfectly cause I've had some really dry ones so this is truly praiseworthy.

I have to say that this restaurant is very very underrated and we need to do something about it. Take your family here for a nice dining experience, take your SO here to celebrate an occasion, take a date here to impress them. This restaurant will not fail you.

Highlands Bistro has recently relocated from SM Mall of Asia to a more intimate yet cozy location at the Capitol Commons Mall along Meralco Avenue extension, Brgy. Oranbo, Pasig City. If you are from the South, one can easily take the Point to Point Bus at Alabang Town Center and get off at Capitol Commons before its final destination at Ayala The 30th Mall, also in also in Pasig. The place exudes a warm, cabin feel with the high wood panel ceiling and lush leather couch seating. The wine cooler display immediately on the right of the restaurant is a sight to behold. The Traditional fireplace is also present as part of its architectural design.

We sampled the their NEW "Lunch Set Menu at Highlands Bistro". You can choose from 2 or 3 Course sets with a choice of appetizer and mains and dessert. Comes with a can of softdrink of your choice. The Nicoise Salad, was fresh, packed with flavor and was generous considering it was a Light Salad. The Spicy Chicken Wings was indeed Spicy but not too Spicy, it was just right with the subtle amount of heat. The Tuna Ala Pobre was served with a side Salad and a hefty serving of Rice. Tuna was soft and cooked perfectly and the Garlic was not overpowering. Another dish on the lunch menu was the Chicken Barbeque served with Rice. Chicken thigh Fillet cooked just right with a sweet tangy Barbeque glaze. You can also have either a scoop of vanilla ice cream, Chocolate mousse or a Freshly cooked doughnut as your dessert if you wish to avail of the Three course menu.

Apart from the Lunch Menu, we were served the following dishes as well, Mixed Salad with Fried Brie Cheese, lightly tossed Salad mix of green and Red Bell peppers. Signature Truffle Pasta, al dente Noodles with a very flavorful white sauce and truffle oil. Creamy and strong flavor paired with breaded Chicken. Dry Rub Baby Back Ribs with a side of Barbecue sauce. Fall off the bone and flavorful meat even without the sauce. The Dry Rub gives enough flavor the the meat. The smoked oysters rockafellers was a show stopper, flavorful baked oysters because of the wood chips that added the smoky flavor. The USDA Angus Rib Eye Steak was cooked to preference, soft, melt in your mouth good. Over all, it was a good and relaxing dining experience. I have to second that the ambience does have that Chill, cabin feel in the heart of the hustle of the City. Recommended.
