Gerry's Restaurant and Bar is formerly Gerry's Grill. It is a Filipino restaurant with different branches across the country. I got a chance to visit one of its branches few weeks ago when I attended the christening and birthday celebration of my friend's baby girl. They had their reception catered at Gerry's.
The restaurant is in a resort-type community so it is no wonder that the outdoor setup on the first photo and the next one greeted us on our way in.
The interior is fairly spacious. We were ushered to the innermost area. When we got seated, the first that caught my attention is this bottle right in front of me.
"Wow, Gerry's has its own inihaw sauce," I thought. That is sauce for roasted meat. I wondered if this is in the market like the Kamayan Bagoong so I asked my friend.
"I do not recall seeing this Gerry's inihaw sauce at any grocery store," she said.
I too do not. So maybe this branded sauce is only for their restaurants. I am not sure.
While we were chatting and catching up with what's new from each other, I silently captured the flap ads on the table. This one is a promo about their catering services in their restaurants.
The other flap promotes their catering services to their client's preferred location. That means they can cater outside their restaurant. That willbe perfect if you want to host a party at home or in the office without the hassle of preparing the foods by yourself.
After more chit chats, the foods were finally announced to be ready. Yay! Yes, I admit I was already hungry. And I was happy to know that it is a buffet style. So up we were from our seats to the buffet table.
Vegetable soup, plain rice, pancit canton, kare-kare, pork sisig, and inihaw na manok (roasted chicken). That's a good list to choose from for lunch! And look, the crew members were posing for my camera.
We lined up and took our pick. I am not the type of person who usually take different viands at the same time so I had roasted chicken and sisig only.
While we were eating, more members of the crew went around and distributed glasses of ice tea.
Even after the line was over, one of the crews stayed by for those who may want to have second round. My friend made a quick round and encouraged us to go back and have more because there are still plenty of food. I went back but took very little because I was already full.
We were about to finish our food when the crew members made another round and distributed cups of buko pandan salad for dessert.
After lunch, we stayed longer for more chit chats. After cleaning our tables, the crew came back and asked if anyone wants beer. Beer? Apparently, my friend and her husband have considered that. I don't drink so I let it pass while a few of the men asked for a bottle.
We spent around one more hour after our meal before people started saying their goodbyes. My other friends and I then started too to go.
I snapped this photo of the outer dining area on our way out. This area is also fairly spacious.
I did not spend any amount at all for the meal because it was hosted. Though, I noticed this menu stand to the right of the door right after we got out.
I made a last glance back as we were exiting the Residential Resort. From the prices, Gerry's may not be affordable for daily visit. However, I can say it is a great place to meet and hang out with friends while enjoying great Filipino foods.
