RUSTIC BOX STEAKHOUSE GRACE MALL TAGUIG

Photo of what you're served when you order a RARE steak in Rustic Box When I first saw that there is an UNLI promo restaurant next to my place, I was very excited. So I went there, grabbed a friend and tried the UNLI steak promo. We have been greeted by the staff and served the drinks. I ordered the first steak: it tasted rotten. It happens, honestly, but that scared me a bit, so I ordered the second steak medium rare. The restaurant sports a big STEAKHOUSE sign outside so I assumed they were aware of the 5 ways to cook a steak. That was wishful thinking. I ordered a rare steak and I've got a done. It happens, but I kept my hope high, after all I was paying a whopping 799php, right? So I calmly explained to the waitress what a "rare" steak is and she told me she knew it. I told her that their steaks were exceptionally thin and therefore the cooking time must have been reduced. I have received my third steak rare. The center was still frozen. I'm not talking about a cold center of a blue steak, no. My mouth clearly tasted the flaky ice inside the steak. No choice but sending it back and cook it properly, so I ended up with the third done steak in a row. At that point I suggested to cook the steak at room temperature and ordered my fourth rare steak and that seemed to have done the trick because FINALLY I have received a medium well! ( see photo ) My joy was short lived, though. When I ordered my fifth steak the waitress revealed that no more steaks were available! Imagine my disappointment when reading UNLI steak and finding out that it was all a lie! When asked politely if there were other items to choose from, we have been told that anything else would be charged a la carte, on top of the 799php. My friend exploded in savage ire and went full Karen demanding to speak with the manager: we were both still hungry and wanted to eat steak. Eventually the management offered a single porterhouse steak, and I ordered one rare. When Rustic Box finally ruined a juicy, delicious porterhouse steak by cooking it, I had my hopes shattered and felt sad for the cow and the waste of a perfectly good slice of it that could hit the spot.

This place deserves 4 stars. Great food but you can get better options from other restaurants for cheaper price.

Practising health protocol and food is nice.

Great medium size mall in Grace Residences. Very convenient for people living in acacia estates and Grace. You can get quite a few options for food and snacks. Also there are few stores for clothing and two saloons. Also a very good anytime fitness gym.
