After 14 years in the bar and restaurant business, Anthony Ang still flashes that smile. Who wouldn’t be happy with the opening of the second branch of Antonio’s Bar and Grill at the Metro Lifesytle complex on the corner of Torres Street and Jacinto Extension, Davao City on August 8.

There’s indeed a reason to be happy about the branching out of Antonio’s Bar and Grill whose main outlet at the ground floor of SM Davao started in 2006. The Torres branch has a bigger dining area that can occupy 100 diners at one time plus the VIP room that can accommodate 50 customers.

Antonio’s, which was named after Anthony’s father, Antonio, was conceptualized to be a Filipino fine dining restaurant without having to do away with Dabawenyos’ craving for grilled food.

“The first concept was for Antonio’s to be the first bar inside the mall pero din a nag materialize dahil mas marami na ang pumupunta for regular meals,” Anthony said.
