The Outlook Steak & Grill at Grand Sierra Pines: Outlook Good =)
Facebook recently changed how the latest posts are seen on the blog’s FB page newsfeed. These days, I only see a couple of “news” from establishments I liked and one of them is Grand Sierra Pines. (I’m rolling my eyes at YOU, Facebook. Geez, social media platform! The reason why I gave these pages a thumbs up is to keep up to date with what’s going on with them and here you are, limiting my view. Why fix it if it ain’t broke? *le sigh)
My hinaharap is looking bountiful. *tee hee
Oh well, bechamel; oh well, caramel; oh well, mackerel. =b
We arrived at The Outlook Steak and Grill a little after 11:00 a.m., after seeing a post sharedon Sierra Pines’ FB page that they’re open for soft operations at 11:00 a.m. (As of the publishing of this post, they’ve taken that down. *hee) Race and I hung around the lobby and The Atrium dining area but not a creature was stirring at The Outlook so we decided to just come back and rode off to … Axes for lunch. \m/
Around Outlook resto grill
At 5:00 p.m., we came round the bend again and saw the lights on inside the building – a testament to it being open to serve. We took our place at one of the tables at the topmost floor of the lookout resto and reveled in the lush pine needle view. =) In between the green leafy strips, we saw the sunset cast changing hues of orange to red on the clouds, and also lightning crashing somewhere further in the distance.
Rooftop dining
Shifting our eyes to the menu, it was my turn to be stunned. Did a lightning bolt just strike me or what? I was so looking forward to getting something like in one of the photos on their page, but had to rethink it. It was only when I had time to recover did I resolve that ordering at least one of the sous vide (Chef Helene in the Burnt movie on my mind here again) steaks they had to offer (the most doable one *snickers) wasn’t going to bring ultimate damage to my pocket. Too late … we already picked an appetizer and dishes for dinner (that sounded more like snacks =D).
UPDATE 10/29/2016: Updated to more doable prices for the Outlook Steak and Grill foodstuff. (You know it, clipboard menus means improvements and innovations ongoing.)
The Outlook resto UPDATE MENU. Hooray, I get to keep my kidneys! *guffaw guffaw (In comparison, click here for old menu. )
When our orders were delivered, we marveled at their pretty presentation on the chopping boards. It was a substantial enough serving too, that we relaxed and thought it was just right for a dinner meal. The starters, especially so … whoa, those three-bites-large dense carb packed mac and cheese cubes.
His hinaharap is looking mighty promising as well. *hihi
Race’s shrimp po’ boy was a good sandwich which consisted of a black burger bun, coleslaw, and lots of fried little shrimp sauced up with Sriracha. I must tell you how they laid out the lettuce (the Lollo Rosso) on the lower bun too; so orderly, CDO people (alphabetical OCD) will love this! A light, airy, “extravagant in spirit” sandwich (contrary to the denser sandwich for “poor boys”) served with potato chips, we, at one point, did think that the chips needed some kind of sauce.
First floor: Bar, pool table, and a couple tables for dining. Second floor: More seating for diners.
As did my fish and chips. (As did the mac and cheese bites. Another helping of marinara sauce please.) Even with an intensely flavored and (mayo/honey mustard) saucey coleslaw salad side (same as the one in Race’s po-boy), I still would’ve wanted a ranch dip or tartar dip for the batter covered dory on my chopping board plate. We asked for a little ketchup for the potato wedges that partnered the fish and that helped us enjoy this selection better. ^^,

Sir Paulo, the manager, came up to get our take on what we thought of the dishes. After our little chat, he sent over some mojitos to … in his words, bring more joy to our table. (Many thanks, Sir!) (And to those of you thinking, I got the complimentary drinks because I identified myself as a food blogger, let me state it here again, I wouldn’t do such a thing. I could not, would not … on a boat. I will not, will not with a goat. =)) But seriously. Please, guys, a little credit. =S)
Fish and chips ^^,
Out of the desserts, it was churros that caught my eye with its two dips: Hot choco and cream cheese sauce. Though, X+1 became a bit apprehensive about the serving portion. If it’s just one piece on the plate, what now, we wondered. [While we are at the wondering, what is the plural of churros anyway? Churroses? Churri? A bunch of churros? Some churros? (Just like Baldrick’s “some beans” in Blackadder. *harhar) UPDATE 09/22/2016: Churros is already plural. All rightie, that’s a load off.] We didn’t have to decide as fate made it for us, with the churros not being available.
Parmesan crusted mac and cheese with marinara sauce. =D Get a load of that cross section. Again, more marinara sauce please.
Pretty full from what we had so far of the Outlook restaurant offering, we stayed awhile and just watched everything around us go black as we delighted in the cold Baguio night air. (“,)
Mojitos compliments of Sir Paulo. Thank you, Sir! Cheers! =)
X marks The Outlook Steak and Grill for good food in Baguio. Our eight-ball tummies rumbled and were satisfied. Yes, the outlook is good.

Ambiance: So old Baguio/Christmastime feel … with a club-y vibe especially when it came to their music and at the first floor, where the pool table is.
Price: From one treasure chest, UPDATED to

Now, if you’ll excuse me, foodie friends, I have to sell a kidney to be able to come back here and try more foodstuff from their menu. *heehahahahaha UPDATE 10/29/2016: I GET TO KEEP BOTH KIDNEYS! Items on the Outlook menu have been repriced.
The treed view – tree bottoms, tree middles and tree tops. =b

Hello! Yes, the hotel’s been open for a few months now, as well as their The Atrium restaurant. https://findgoodbaguiofoods.com/2016/03/18/here-and-there-in-the-city-of-pines-sierra-pines-hotel-and-pinewoods-golf-country-club/
The Outlook Steak & Grill started soft opening operations the other day, I think. Thanks for visiting Find Good Baguio Foods blog! Happy eatsplorations! (“,)
400 for carbonara. Mahalia naman ang food sa steak and grill ng Outlook!! Gurl may dakilang mirror din ba sila dyan 🙂 At sino yun echoserang frog na nag cheese na sinsabi mong blogger ka sa restaurant? Pak makagawa ng issue .
Hello there, Mario! *hihi Yes, super kigtot my heart about that carbonara price too. We did survive Outlook restogrill but we do have to work a bit more before we can return … I really want to try their sous vide steak. *hihi
As for the echosera … Hiding under the anon tag. =S Oh well, bechamel; oh well, caramel; oh well, mackerel ulit =))
We’ll keep on stepping … and going on food adventures. I hope it’s going well on your end too. Again, thank you so much for the support! (“,)
Ano ba yang sous vid na yan teh? At di mo sinagot kung may mirror rin dyan sa Sierra Pines Outlook na malaki hehehe
Naku, anonymous. HIndi lang echosera, inggitera pa. Gumawa kaya sya ng sarili nyang blog. Keribels lang Xine. Best food blog is findgoodbaguiofoods.com 🙂
The way I understood it, the meat/fish with herbs etc. is placed in a Ziplock bag and then poached in a thingamajig. Sous vide process is supposed to lock in all the flavors of the ingredients and also ensure perfect cooking, no more under or overcooked stuff.
Oh, I don’t think I saw a mirror like that in Vanilla Cafe Kamiseta Hotel anywhere at Sierra Pines *hihi I don’t know though, I really like the atmosphere at Sierra Pines. Fun to be in a tower lookout like place at The Outlook resto too.
I can’t thank you enough, Mario. So here goes, another thank you! (“,)
Hi Find Good Baguio Foods. HALA ang mahal ulit dito sa Outlook Restaurant. Is this becoming the trend for Baguio? ;-(
Hello. Considering Lemon and Olives, Vanilla Cafe and this Outlook Steak and Grill, yes, mighty shocking prices. Special occasion Baguio restos. *hihi
I hope it’s not the trend. I’m sure there are a wide range of classes of restaurants opening in the City of Pines. It just so happened that I featured two in a row.
Thank you so much for visiting the blog! I hope you’re having an enjoyable Baguio food quest! (“,)
AYYYYy! Hindi na ako first to comment!!
*hihi Not this time. No worries, Mario, there will be other posts. I really appreciate the support! (“,)
WoW very good news that Outlook lowered the prices in their menu. I have been meaning to try this since I saw your blog post but the prices scared me. What sous vide steak did you get? Find Good Baguio Foods, your the best!!!!
Hello there, Lina! Three cheers for Outlook Resto at Grand Sierra Pines meeting the diners halfway. Prices no longer scary. *hihi
I got the sous vide flank steak … the most doable one and I’m uber happy about it since it was still huge and delish.
I hope you have a great time at the steak and grill whenever it is you plan to go. (“,) Thank you for visiting FindGoodBaguioFoods.com!
I want to try the sous vide steak too ’cause I also dont like bloody steaks.
Hello, Stellah! Agree on that one, I do get squeamish when I’m cutting into a piece of meat and reddish stuff squirts out. Outlook Steak and Grill’s version did no such thing. Best part of it, it was so tasty. I hope you have a wonderful experience at Grand Sierra Pines’ inhouse resto whenever it is you plan to visit! (“,)
Hi po 🙂 pang ala carté lang po ba yung servings ng vood or is it for sharing too?
Hello there! We’ve been back to Grand Sierra’s Outlook a couple of times after this visit and so far, we think their servings are big enough for two. Our second visit having bangers and mash and one of their sous vide steaks, we brought half home and they became another meal. (Especially the bangers and mash) *hihi
Hope this helps. I hope you enjoy your meal at Outlook Steak and Grill whenever it is you choose to go. (“,)
