We love this place! Great food, great service, great prices. What's not to love!? Entertainment on the weekends is fun too, friendly crowd.
Sunday all-you-can-eat buffet 160 pesos per person, was quite good! Worth it. 8:30am until 1pm. Other reviewers who didn't like it: I wonder if they went late and perhaps the restaurant was already winding down? We went at 10:30 and everything was still abundantly available. Food tasted good. Service was frequent and courteous. Atmosphere (if sitting outside) was nice. We've also been there for regular dinner menu and thoroughly enjoyed the food. Price was reasonable for a decently nice environment like this.
Last night we met up with some friends and had dinner at Scallion Ajijic Bistro . We arrived just before the rain. It was our 1st time there. We were greeted by Gabriel(hopefully spelled correctly) which was our waiter. They were really having to shuffle everyone from outside to inside with the heavy rains. I had the Fried Calamari which was perfectly cooked with a nice Thai dipping sauce. Mom had the General Tso Shrimp which was delicious. Shrimp were a nice size, fried crisp and coated with a tangy General Tso style sauce. I had a a few bites and it was really good(obviously I'd like it spicier). I had the chicken Marsala. The chicken breast were very tender and well seasoned. I really enjoyed the red cabbage with this dish. The mushrooms and sauce were very well done but for me I'd like a little more of a Marsala flavor so a little more wine(That's just my preference). One of our friends got a pizza and it looked amazing, well cooked with a good sauce to crust ratio. All of the food came out timely even though there was alot going on with the rain. It was obvious that the team was well managed. Plates were decorative and attractive as well as the staff. I thought the pricing was also pretty good as I had multiple Cadillac Margaritas and shots, 2 of us had appetizers, and dinner for 4 was under 1900pesos. We would definitely go back and recommend.
Oddly the best Chinese lakeside. Kung Pow beef is awesome! ( and try the cream of mushroom soup). Love this place!
Overall a great experience for a Christmas dinner. Food portions were large and everything was very good. My favorite was the stuffing. Only15 per person. Would definitely go back. The server was quick, the table was nice, outside in the shade.
I had a great experience today at Scallion, the food was great, I love Chicken Marsala and I was able to find it here, the place is nice and cozy but specially the service was perfect, all combined makes me highly recommend this place! Thanks for your attention!
I ordered chicken breast Marsala. It was the best I have had in a long time. The food was absolutely delicious. Service is wonderful. I look forward to ordering more from their menu, as the selections are so tempting. Sorry about not leaving a photo. I was busy enjoying my meal! Waiting for dessert now.
Their hamburgers and avocado toast are incredible! The staff is very attentive and have several English speakers. They go above and beyond to please customers. I highly recommend this place for breakfast, lunch or dinner.
