Based on my experience, I find it difficult to go out on a Valentine’s dinner date here in Davao. Restaurants are usually jam-packed; and most of them don’t accept reservations. They would always tell us that tables are on a first-come first-serve basis. There was even a time that my husband and I had to wait for an hour just to be seated. It wasn’t pleasant at all. Since then, we would opt NOT to go out every February 14 and stay home instead. However, this year would be an exception.
Come February 14, Seda Abreeza Hotel offers its guests 2 options for a Valentine’s dinner date – all prepared by the expert hands of Executive Sous Chef Giovanna “Bang” Sibala and her culinary team.
5-Course Wine Pairing Dinner
Veering from the casual dining experience, this is something different and special to try. Set in a romantic and rustic ambiance inside the T’nalak Function Room with live music setting the mood.
Here’s what’s on the menu.
