I enjoy this place because of its extensive variety of food and cuisine. It’s a perfect place for a large family or a group of friends who can’t decide what to eat- Want steak? They got it. Craving jap? You can opt for sushi or fried nori tacos. Round it off with pasta and a bunch of other ala carte staples (grilled chicken or pork) and you’re good!

The prices are very affordable too. Me and Jared Serzo split a salmon sushi roll and pizza with Italian sausage and truffle. Our bill didn’t make it to a grand. The latter (pizza) is very good and filling, with thin slivers of mushroom and sausage but a pleasantly pungent aroma of truffle. I would suggest eating the truffle pizza before or after your accompanying dish, to keep the taste of the truffle strong. The sushi was good, American/Filipino style with Japanese mayonnaise and barbecue sauce as a side. It ain’t the real thing, but it is satisfying and the salmon filling is quite generous too.

Service is fast, perhaps because of the nature of the recipes. Only thing I would comment is that the breadsticks (which are fried, salted and full of tasty goodness!) are just left out on the table. They can get a bit “makunat” (soggy and hard) and it’s not that hygienic either. Sayang naman. (What a pity!)

Overall fun place to eat in. Booze is very cheap too. The 2+2 on drinks in Zomato gold is a 🏅 winner 🏅

Menu is a mix of japanese, italian, tex mex, and american. Ordered the popcorn shrimp (15pcs good value), 4 cheese pizza (good for sharing, lots of cheese), chicken fingers (just ok), and beef tenderloin (could use salt and pepper but good size and tenderness for the price).

Went to Promenade to watch the Avengers : Endgame and decided to dine at this restaurant after. It was about 11pm that we got out of the movie house and checked places that are still open. Its a 5 min walk from Promenade, located Connecticut St.

As we enter the restaurant a cozy, intimate vibe came up. It was love at first sight for me. Place and ambiance is a 10 out of 10. 💖 Very recommendable for date nights and barkada hangouts if you want somewhere quiet and chill.

I dined with family and friends so we got the Lion Share bundle for groups. Food was so delish especially the steak , its to die for.
Lion Share has a complete set of cuisine to offer. From pizza, pasta , baby back ribs, and steak. And its at a reasonable price. You'll get your pennys worth, I promise.

We'll surely come back for drinks next time. 💖

This is definitely one of my go-to restaurants when I want a good meal and a good drink. Some say that it's a bit pricey but I must say it's one of the few pricey places that are truly worth it. Whether its pizza, pasta, steak, or sushi, and even their appetizers - I have not yet been failed by the serving and the taste. The drinks as well-priced and worth it, too. Everyone who wants a good night out with friends should try their Sangria for sharing! The food and service here is consistent and I sound always be happy to keep bringing friends here to have their own Torch experience.

This used to be a go-to restaurant for me whenever I crave for their cream cheese salmon roll, chicken pesto pasta (which they unfortunately phased out already, salpicao medallion, and philly cheese steak pizza.

This time around however, I got the mushroom and sausage truffle pizza while my friend got the vegetarian roll.

I’m not really a fan of veggies, so I didn’t try her dish. But one thing’s for sure: their quality of food hasn’t deteriorated.

The pizza I had was served with generous amount of cheese, and every now and then there are spots with the creamy and cheesy part also studded with mushroom and sausage bits, just the right amount striking the perfect balance.

The crust was crispy as you can imagine. You have to eat it agad though.

Would come back pa rin! Great ambiance also for late night outs.

Torch is one of my favorite restaurants. This is one of the good branches out of all the ones I tried. They have breakfast meals and vegetarian options in their menu. Favorites are their pizzas and the makis. Pastas are okay but not memorable. Noritaco is a lackluster and they have it in a buy 1 take 1 promo on Tuesdays.

This is my favorite to go to branch whether to go eat or to have some drinks. I've been a regular customer because we live so close to this branch. My family and I like to have breakfast here and this is where bring my friends to drink. What I like about this is they always update their menu and ambiance from time to time.

Food - ☆☆☆☆☆ 5/5
We always order the different types of pizza and the sushi. They're all good! Especially the Philly Cheesesteak Pizza. Thin crust, so you taste a lot of the other flavors and toppings.

Service - ☆☆☆☆☆ 5/5
The waiters are nice and always accommodating. As well as the security guard who helps my grandmother when she needs help in parking.

Ambiance - ☆☆☆☆ 4/5
I feel like they lack lighting at times. But this doesn't hinder the fact that it makes the food look good. Also the place is not cramped up, there's an easy flow of foot traffic.

My friends and I decided to have a breakfast get together and I was surprised that Torch Greenhills is open even for breakfast that Sunday. I ordered the Volcano roll which satisfied my sushi and cheese cravings at the same time. We also ordered their Philly Cheesesteak pizza and for me it was just so-so. We were 3 tables all in all. 1 table for the boys, 1 table for the girls and another table for the kids. One thing that irritated me a little was that the order for each table was mixed up and the waiters did not know what table ordered what, even if we ordered separately. When a certain dish was ready to be served, they would go round asking each table who ordered that particular dish and I personally was asked 3-4 separate times for a dish that I have no idea who ordered. I just found it weird and it disrupted our conversation quite a few times which I felt could have been avoided.

We chose this place for dinner because it had everything— Sushi, pizza, pasta, beef... and so much more! 🤩 That way, everyone’s cravings were satisfied. 👍🏻 Pictured here would be my selection— Volcano Rolls, because I wanted sushi, and this one had tons of cheese. 🧀 🤤 Mixed in this gooey pile of goodness were tiny spiced scallops and a sushi with tempura, cucumber and egg. 😋 This addicting, spicy mix is something I’m definitely reordering next visit. 🙌🏻

Torch Restaurant offers a modern eclectic interior set up with dimmed lighting for a cozy, intimate dining experience. Patrons can choose from their air-conditioned indoor seats or the natural breeze at the alfresco area.

When visiting any Torch branch, it is a must for you to try their crispy-thin gourmet pizzas, aha-mazing sushi selection, and Angus steaks. It's really hard to distinguish which cuisine they specialize in, since they offer a diverse range of international dishes. One thing is for sure --- they have a long list of alcoholic beverages for you to choose from! 😉

Great place, food and service. They have the crunchiest pizza I have ever tasted. Must try their Phyllis steak pizza. Salpicao medallion is great and for sharing. You can't go wrong with their Steak fondue. Giving them 4 instead of 5 cause they need to work on their rest rooms.

Torch is our go-to resto as it has something for everyone. Our favorites are their rolls especially the bacon roll and the salmon roll. We also super love their truffle sausage pizza. The baby back ribs are so so. Their tomahawk tho at 1200 for a single serving was not worth it and not good at all. It's the first time we've tried it and it completely changed our good mood. Not gonna order it again but will definitely be back again for the pizza and the rolls. :)

I had a dinner with friends here. And the place is okay. But expect them to dim the lights when its 10pm already.

We ordered the steak panizza, cowboy roll, a bowl of nachos and sangria. The taste is okay and neat-looking.

The service is good. Price is somewhat reasonable. Can be place for a typical barkada Friday night meet-up.

When your friends invite you for wine all you night, you can't say no 😂 It's Php400 per person and you can only choose one, either red or white wine. It's from 6pm-12mn.

Of course you need pica pica when you're drinking. We got Bacon Roll (Php229.95), Gambas Pizza (Php352.55) it was spicy had only one slice and Seafood Panizza (Php329.95) a rollup thin pizza wherein you'll roll it with veggies.

They serve the best breakfast combos! I always get that happy feeling whenever I get to taste their Tapa for breakfast 👍🏻
Ohhh and ALL the rice rolls in the menu, itsss pure "YUM"
The volcano inspired sushi was totally lit! It can light a TORCH 🔥 HAHA 😂
Not much a fan of their pasta but, they serve this fried pasta as appetizers-- it's worth a try! Surprisingly good!

Looking forward to the next eating experience 🎉

We had our dinner here last weekend. They have a nice ambiance inside and out.
What we ordered:
Blackened chicken alfredo pasta: it tasted good with lots of chicken.
Bacon roll: 8pcs of bacon roll, it has cheese inside and it tasted also good.
Philly cheesesteak pizza: the pizza was really crispy and served hot. It was good. The serving was good for 2-3pax.

A few weeks ago we were supposed to try out a restaurant in Greenhills named Torch with other blogger friends. But unfortunately no one could look after Rain at that time so we had to decline last minute. We heard nothing but raves from our friends who were able to go. And that made us more curious about this Torch place.

Loved our zomato delivery order of dinner from Torch!

The steak panizza was superb topped with mozzarella and cream cheese. The fire-roasted Hawaiian chicken BBQ was good with a coal-burnt pineapple ring. Chicken Yakitori was good although a bit dry.

All in all, an enjoyable meal delivered before time!

Had a late lunch with a friend last Sunday and it was my first time to visit their branch in Connecticut.  The server advised us soon as we were seated that their bestsellers are steak, pizza and sushi so I decided to try their sushi.  Asked for a recommendation and was told either the Torch's signature roll or the volcano roll. Since the volcano roll is spicy I opted to order the Torch's signature roll. My friend ordered the chicken yakitori for her main and we ordered the prosciutto arugula salad to share. We also ordered their fresh strawberry shake.

Quite happy with the service especially since my friend has some dietary restrictions the server even came back to replace the food that was served since it has some ingredient that my friend cannot eat.  Kudos to our server for being attentive.

I enjoyed my food and drink and will definitely come back to try the other dishes.

A versatile resto that serves breakfast lunch & dinner at their respective time slots is warm in their ambiance and a staff that is knowledgeable in their menu, and friendly. I've always considered this place to be more on the intimate dining option but seeing their menu for breakfast I've decided to include this on my roster of breakfast list.

Had the chili poppers, country fried chicken steak & miso salmon. All three were delicious & their flavour complimented the dish.

Definitely a place to recommend.

I finally had the chance to dine at Torch, one of those restaurants that I have been hearing so much about on social media. I was scared that I wouldn't like it because it was all so hyped up but thankfully, it turned out pretty well.

I had the clam chowder soup because I was curious about how they make it. Also, I was sick and tired of truffle mushroom and pumpkin soup and I have never been a fan of French Onion.

The clam chowder was one of the best that I have tried. The mussels were chopped into tiny pieces but not too small that you won't taste it. It's also not too big that it becomes all about the mussels. It was creamy enough and I swear it just made you want to take one sip after another.

The Volcano Roll lived up to its name. It felt like a tiny volcano exploded in my mouth. It had spices but it wasn't that bad. It had cheese on it as well and it made the dish more interesting.

The Salmon was pretty good but I wish they didn't put so much cream on top. The tanginess of the sauce was too overpowering. If they didn't put it in there, it would have been perfect for me. 

Now this is something that was pretty unique. It's peanut butter and jelly chicken wings. Yes, you read that right. It's peanut butter and jelly chicken wings. It was delicious. It was interesting. It's definitely worth a try. 

I could definitely recommend Torch to those who would like to try something new. It's interesting and the twists they put on their food works.

I drove for 5 long hours using a stick shift so I thought, I deserved to eat good food, while resting my knees as well 😊

So i ordered the following:

Mushroom bisque - i love soups especially if its cream based. I tried this one cause i always order the clam and chowder. Smells good because of the truffle oil but the taste is okay. I had to ask for salt to make it more salty (but its just me, im into salty foods).

Steak medallion - tenderloin wrapped in bacon served on top of a marble with fire below to keep it hot. They usually serve the meat medium rare because it will still continue to cook on top the marble slab. I loved it! However i like my meat medium well, since i dont eat fast, half of my tenderloin i ate it as well done. But just the same I liked it.

Torch has been a talk-about restaurant lately by foodies around the Metro. I had to experience myself what the trend is all about.

Brought my wife one Friday for a date. The place was crowded and we were lucky to be able to get seated. Tried the famous volcano roll and a pizza. The volcano roll is indeed delicious with unique flavors and texture.

A restaurant that is great to hang out and bond with friends.

My continued patronage is a testament to the great food and service of Torch. I was a regular customer since its first establishment in the GreenHills area.

The quality of food is always excellent no matter what branch, and the presentation, as always, is impeccable in its ability to excite my appetite. Their pizza and their steak is top notch. Their sushi is above average, and interesting to say the least.

I always enjoy dining here and if I cannot decide where else to eat, I always settle for torch if I am near a branch in the area.

We were treated to this location by some new friends. We were famished when we arrived and let me say Torch did not disappoint. It seems like we tried half the menu. I had the US Angus Beef Tenderloin Salpicao Medallion, my wife had the Smoked Jabanero Glazed Salmon, we also tried the Volcano Roll, Margherita Pizza, with Bread Pudding and Panna Cotta w/Fresh Fruits for dessert. All items were unbelievably delicious.

The reason Torch is not a 4.5 or 5 is because the ambience and, to a certain extent the wait staff, fall short of meeting the same quality of the food.

Away from the hustle and bustle of the Greenhills shopping area, this place is perfect for chill out nights. Plenty of options for good food  with great bar selection. Alcoholic drinks are priced just right to prevent one from "driving under the influence". I just wish they could improve the al fresco dining area and make it more comfortable especially during warm summer nights.

Torch was a discovery for me. Located in a quaint little part of Greenhills or at least a bit outside of it. The steaks there are unbelievably tender and juicy. While it on the expensive side, I do not mind spending a big amount for food like the ones I tasted when i went here. Come to think of it, I think I my have found my second favorite steakhouse.

Torch restaurant is like your friendly neighborhood hangout place along Connecticut, Greenhills. It has a wide range of items from their menu- basically, whatever you feel like eating they have from sushi, ramens, steaks, pastas, pizzas, fish, etc. Some of the items we often order are the tender and juicy steak medallion, wakame salmon, soft shell crab salad, and the smoked jabanero glazed salmon which is very moist and taste sweet but with a kick! another favorite would be the prosciutto arugula flatbread which is drizzled with a little balsamic vinaigrette , imagine eating hot bread with cheese with a hint of bitterness from the baby rocket arugula, saltiness of the prosciutto and sweetness and tanginess of the balsamic vinaigrette! The restaurant also serves amazing brunch during Sundays highly recommended item is the eggs benedict. Types of crowds also varies throughout the week so don't be surprised.

The Food:Volcano Roll (Php 269.95) - An explosion to the mouth with extraordinary flavors. A complete plate of ingredients I love. That composes of freshly baked sushi rolls filled with tempura, tamago and Japanese cucumber and lastly topped with spice-baked U.S. scallops. What a winner!!! :) 

Smoked Salmon Truffle Sushi (Php 449.95) - This is an innovation of Japanese sushi rolls. Judging from how it looks, I already know this will captivate my taste buds. Sushi with mango, cucumber, kani, wakame, salmon and truffle oil all over, all packed in one! Goodness gracious, if I live next to Torch, this will make me fatter. I am not sure if this is already on the menu since this is one of their newest addition to the menu. 

White Truffle Sausage Panizza (Php 429.95) - Another enticing dish because of the truffle oil that scented all over the place. I could sniff from a far the truffle aroma it gave. Sausage toppings on top of mozzarella cheese are fit for it. From Japanese to Italian, another favorite cuisine, this panizza lines up to my list of favorites.

Here's another fabulous find in Connecticut, Greenhills... Torch. Upon arriving in the area we were quite impressed with the simplicity yet elegant ambiance of the place. Cozy and good for business meetings in the afternoon, at night it is good place to hang around with friends to chillout.

As for starters we had the Pumpkin Soup, then the Philly Cheese Steak Pizza and Blackened Chicken Alfredo. After the main course we ordered for some desserts, The Frozen Bravo de Mercedes and Hush Puppies Sundae with Caramel. We really liked everything we had but the Frozen Bravo really was a standout.

Looking for a place that serves feel-good food? Don't sweat. You can go to Torch, a fusion restaurant by Peppermill Caterers. Atmosphere feels like a cross between Omakase and Amici. Torch Restaurant has "knowledgeable" service, as waiters know what to recommend best for a delightful gastronomic experience.

We had: the twice-baked potato (PHp 70), crispy chicken pesto pasta which is a classic pesto pasta in fettuccini topped with small pieces of golden fry crispy chicken (PHp 325), seafood panizza that is anchovy alfredo-based panizza with mozzarella topped with shrimps (PHp 330), delectable steak panizza with U.S. angus beef strips opped with mozzarella and cream cheese (PHp 330), and other pastas I can't remember now (haha, sorry).

Torch is currently my work group's favorite place to go after long meetings at the office. They have reasonably priced good wine selection and fine food offerings. The beef medallion is tops and the pizza choices are all good. Service is friendly. They even have wifi for the guys who still want to check emails over their phones. The regular crowd is also nice. They have ample parking space (basement). I kid you not, Torch is a very nice place to go to after work. Eat,eat, eat.

Torch is probably my favorite dining place whenever we're in Greenhills. I just love their concept of having a fusion restaurant offering a wide variety of items on their menu. A great place to go when you just want to have a quiet time with friends and chill out over great food and drinks. The place was neat and simple. Modern tables and chairs with dimmed lights to set the mood for a more romantic dinner date during the night.

Many people were raving about their truffle fries (P234.95) and so we decided to try it out. I found it a bit oily and soggy the first time so I never ordered it again. What I would order again and again would be their Buffalo Asian Chicken Wings (P324.95). It was a sure winner and love at first bite. I could still remember the sweet glaze that coated each crispy wing perfectly. Serving is also big and can be shared by two people.

Another thing to try out at Torch is their pizza selections. They have a wide variety of pizza flavors that would certainly match your preference. What I love most about it is the the thin and crisp crust that manages to hold the generous toppings together. Their Leaning Tower (P449.95) pizza was really crispy but not to the point that the crust would break and crumble. It was loaded with mushroom and Italian sausages and of course the best topping of all-melted cheese!

Keep the fire burning Torch! :)

Torch is one of my most favorite restaurants. I love eating their shrimp popcorn. I go there sometimes to eat just that! Pair it with a cold beer, modern ambience + feel good, modern music, it takes away stress from work! Pizza is a big thing here as well. Something that you should definitely try out. They offer a lot of food! From sushis, seafood, steaks, burgers.. up to their popular best tasting desserts. New York Cheesecake is a must try!
They also have extra good service! So when you're in Greenhills area and craving for something good, drop by at this restaurant!

Torch Restaurant is another one of those restaurants I've always wanted to go to but somehow do not get to it. It is located along busy Connecticut street, after busy Lugang. They've got a number of parking spaces outside as well as available street side parking, which is always a big plus. Torch serves a variety of cuisines from pizzas to baked sushi to bar chow. The place is a chameleon of sorts serving families from breakfast to dinner then transforming into a chill hangout after 10.

Our first dish was a bowl of Sweet Potato Fries, shredded sweet potato, think thinner but a bit wider Piknik. It's a fun crunchy for sharing dish that's made even better with a dusting of powdered sugar.

The Beer Tail-Mango Daiquiri with Upside Down Beer is Torch's signature drink, a fun and unique looking drink I observed my companions drinking. I tried a sip of the Snowflake Coco-Lychee Martini Slush and found it to be like having an ice dessert, sweet and cold.

The soup was Mushroom Bisque, pureed Shiitake mushroom drizzle with truffle oil and cream. The soup was thick and chunky and chock full of mushroom flavor which I liked.

Volcano Roll is a cheese covered concoction that gets one's attention. The sushi is made up of spiced US scallops, tempura, cucumber and tamago (egg). The roll is gooey, full of flavor and is a joy to eat.

They serve a Secret Sushi since its not in the menu but you can order it if you know about it. The sushi is lightly breaded then deep fried and has cream cheese and smoked salmon inside. A good sushi option to those averse to having raw stuff.

A duo of pizzas, Steak Panizza and Gambas Pizza was served next. The panizza was nice, easily rolled and came with the requisite greens for stuffing. Each piece has a good amount of steak so there's no comparing among friends. The gambas pizza was too spicy for me, maybe you guys would like to give it a try.

We got to play with our food when they served the Steak Fondue. Cubed Meltique Ribeye that we skewered and cooked to our preference. There's five sauce on the side to dip the beef in. One tip I can give you guys is to eat this quickly since the beef will not cook anymore when the container of hot oil cools down.

Salpicao Medallion - Slices of US Angus beef is wrapped with bacon and placed atop a marble plate that's kept warm. It's cooked a bit to done for my preference but this beef is quite good especially for the price since its also served with garlic rice and beans.

For dessert I had the Panna Cotta with Fresh fruits. Nothing special with this dessert.
I was surprised to find out the variety of dishes available at Torch restaurant, they even have some interactive dishes perfect for sharing and conversing around. The prices are reasonable and is a nice alternative in the predominantly Chinese cuisine in the Greenhills area.

Torch is a fusion restaurant by Peppermill Caterers. It feels like a cross between Omakase and Amici in a diner set-up. They get the overflow crowd of Lugang and the late-night dinner crowd because of the bar.
It's nice finding a place for feel-good food that can be enjoyed with the family.

I like Torch's simple ambiance -- non-pretentious and maaliwalas. The common restroom is nice too. But the resto does seem to have this fastfood set-up with cheap tables that move easily when you bump into them.

In old school terms, Torch's menu is called fusion but these days, it is called an eclectic menu. Eclectic would loosely mean you serve anything that you like without conforming to a specified theme as long as it is good.

I find the bar a bit tacky. The Torch crew, though, is really nice. :)

Shrimp Popcorn - Crispy deep-fried shrimps tossed with a special sauce - This reminds me of its Chinese version without the vegetables. The sauce is creamy with a bit of spiciness that the boys can tolerate.

Volcano Roll - Freshly baked sushi roll filled with tempura, tamago and Japanese cucumber, and topped with spice baked U.S. scallops - A bestseller indeed! I like how the overflowing, lava-like cheese engulfs the five sushi rolls

Peppermill's Signature Roll - Sushi rolls filled with soft-shelled crab and salmon skin, topped with crab meat and baked with spicy mango sauce - The sushi rolls are really good but priced on the high side.

Philly Cheese Steak - Classic Philly cheese steak sandwich filling on a fresh, oven-baked, thin crust topped with mozzarella and cream cheese - Overall, the presentation of the food is really good. This pizza was served on a large chopping board. I prefer the five-cheese pizza version, though, but I love the pita-like crust.

Vongole Pasta - Mildly spiced sauteed baby clams in garlic olive oil - The pasta dishes are just OK. Both are served in deep, triangular bowls and each one is good for 1 person only.
We just ordered the pasta for the younger set. I prefer the Vongole in tomato sauce, particularly since it's not that spicy for the kids

Torch also has a simple fillet of salmon with cheese and hints of unagi for the healthy eaters.

Smoked Chipotle Tequila Barbecue Beef Ribs - Slowly cooked lamb shank with ala osso bucco sauce, served with garlic mashed potato and their signature Peppermill sauce.

The desserts are pretty but ordinary.

I would return to Torch for the Steaks and Ribs -- good sharing portions, well-marinated and tender meats, appetizing presentation, and reasonably priced too.

Torch is a good place for a family get-together, barkada gimik, or just a place to treat your friends when celebrating milestones.
