Wolfgang Steakhouse
It felt good to revisit Resorts World Manila (RWM) after the tragic June 2 incident involving a lone gunman that led to dozens of deaths and a fire inside the gaming area on the second floor.
The word is, that particular area will be converted into something new to get rid of the bad vibes.
In any case, life goes on at RWM’s various facilities, including the shops, cinemas, and especially the restaurants.
Recently the Lifestyle staff had lunch with some of RWM’s PR team including Archie Nicasio, Joy Andrade, Cristine Garcia and Mae Bernardo at Wolfgang Steakhouse on the second floor.
While almost everyone enjoyed Wolfgang’s signature steaks, it’s good to know that the place also serves good vegetable salads and seafood.
Best time to go there is at dinner. Carding Cruz of the famous musical clan plays piano, which should put you in the mood for some wine.
Resorts World Manila, Newport Boulevard, Pasay (across Naia Terminal 3); tel. 9088888.
