You will fall in love with the place!
It was my first time at C Lounge, so when I found out that Conrad Manila is a five-star hotel, my expectations went up ten notches!

C Lounge definitely lived up to my expectations. Everything looks classy; it's a great place for business meetings or just casual hangouts with friends. Apparently, when they started out, all C Lounge offered were drinks, so people clamored for food to be added on the menu. And of course, C Lounge complied.

I was one of the first people to try out the new dishes, and to be honest, a lot of them still need work. I don't really consider myself as a food expert, but the dishes they served us that evening weren't new to the taste. None of them were spectacular or exceptional in any way, and I guess I expected way more from a hotel establishment.

Overall, I thought the food needs improvement. The portions and presentation were underwhelming, to say the least. The Poptails were really the highlight of the evening - I mean, who wouldn't want popsicles in their cocktails?! We all had fun consuming our drinks :) The afternoon tea sets were presented beautifully, though I still think they are a bit overpriced. I know of other hotels that offer afternoon tea at a lower cost. Still, lovely environment and the staff was very helpful the entire time.
