"Will You Marry Me'" Moments at 22 Prime and Other Serendipity Perks



Proposals and 'Staycation Gimmicks'

Those who are planning to propose to their special someone must 
check out 22 Prime, the fine dining restaurant at Discovery Suites
Apart from the superb food, the staff are so used to staging such 
magical moments. 
22 Prime, truly worth the trip

















Quite a number of "will you marry me" lines have been 
uttered this restaurant. And just like in the movies the 
magical question is of course followed by an emotional "yes".

Unless one has experienced dining at 22 Prime, its intriguing appeal 
will never be appreciated.  Yes there are  other trendy restaurants 
in more convenient locations.  22 Prime is right at the midst of a busy 
Ortigas district at the  22nd floor. No doubt is easier to park in 
Serendra and Greenbelt, and just walk towards the 
restaurant of choice.However engagement moments need to 
be away from the maddening crowd. It also needs an exciting build-up and the elevator ride to might just do the trick.  
From the elevator, guests will be led to an open lounge with a 
bar, a main dining area and a soup and salad buffet.
If your on a date then chances are you will be given the table 
by the window. A mini divider separates the table from the
rest of the diners. The only link to the outside world are waiters
who will be bringing in your food and drinks.
Hearty Surf and Turf Special

















To minimize the hassles of choosing your dishes, the Surf and 
Turf special is highly recommended. It consists of soup, salad,
Grilled US Angus Rib Eye (200g), prawns potatoes and vegetables
glass of wine and dessert sampler all for P1695++ per 
person.  
The  Angus steaks are prime cuts and USDA certified. The cuts 
are unusually big,  in face two people can share one piece. The
Steak prices start at 1695++ for T-Bone and Fillet Mignon and 
P2200 for Wagyu Striploin. 
For real value, two people can start with the soup and salad 
buffet, which is P300 per person and then share a T-bone or
Filet Minon. This will amount to a first class steak dinner for
less than P2500++ without wine and dessert.
Time to choose your knife





















By the way the servers will be asking you to choose your own 
steak knife, so don't be surprised.
By the way 22 Prime is listed among the top five Philippine
restaurants by the International Miele Guide.
The magic doesn't have to end after the proposal. Most of 
the couples who got engaged in 22 Prime, usually celebrate 
their anniversary in the same romantic spot. However with its 
reputation as an engagement venue, booking 
a table during the peak season might be challenging.
