“TRON: Legacy” is a 3D high-tech adventure set in a digital world that’s unlike anything ever captured on the big screen. Sam Flynn (Garrett Hedlund), a rebellious 27-year-old, is haunted by the mysterious disappearance of his father Kevin Flynn (Oscar®- and Golden Globe®-winner Jeff Bridges), a man once known as the world’s leading video-game developer. When Sam investigates a strange signal sent from the old Flynn’s Arcade—a signal that could only come from his father—he finds himself pulled into a digital world where Kevin has been trapped for 20 years. With the help of the fearless warrior Quorra (Olivia Wilde), father and son embark on a life-and-death journey across a visually-stunning cyber universe—a universe created by Kevin himself that has become far more advanced with never-before-imagined vehicles, weapons, landscapes and a ruthless villain who will stop at nothing to prevent their escape. Presented in Disney Digital 3D™ and scored by Grammy® Award-winning electronic music duo Daft Punk, “TRON: Legacy” hits U.S. theaters on Dec. 17, 2010, in Disney Digital 3D™ and IMAX® 3D. 
Notes:
• Producer Steven Lisberger co-wrote and directed the original “TRON” (1982).
• Jeff Bridges, winner of both the Oscar® and Golden Globe® for his role in “Crazy Heart,” reprises the role of Kevin Flynn, which he originated in “TRON” (1982).
• Bruce Boxleitner reprises the roles of Alan Bradley and Tron, which he originated in “TRON” (1982).
• Grammy® Award-winning Daft Punk is composing the music for “TRON: Legacy.” 
• “TRON: Legacy” forges a new frontier in filmmaking with its avant-garde, cutting-edge technology—set to blow away today’s audiences. Among the film’s firsts: it is the first 3D movie to integrate a fully digital head and body based upon an existing actor, creating the younger version of Jeff Bridges’ character; it’s the first movie to make extensive use of self-illuminated costumes; it’s the first movie to create molded costumes using digital sculpture exclusively, creating molds directly from computer files using CNC (Computer Numerical Cutting) technology; it’s the first 3D movie shot with 35mm lenses and full-35mm chip cameras; and it’s the first movie to record uncompressed HD Video to Hard Drive.
• The world of “TRON: Legacy” has an exciting, pulsing vibe that sets its lifestyle apart from any other on or off the planet. From electric light suits to state-of-the-art hair and makeup, elements of the trend-setting world of “TRON: Legacy” are showing up on fashion runways, and companies such as Hurley, adidas, Oakley and Burton are featuring “TRON”-inspired lines targeted for the young male consumer in collaboration with Disney Consumer Products.

“TRON: Legacy” is a 3D high-tech adventure about a father and son (Jeff Bridges, Garrett Hedlund) who embark on a life-and-death journey of escape across a visually stunning cyber universe that has become far more advanced and exceedingly dangerous.

Stephen Aznar 

October 14, 2010. My friends and I were invited to dine and enjoy the facinating dishes they offer. Our dinner was definitely like a home-cooked meal. Thank you to Jude Bacalso for the invite. 

 I was amazed that they served Caviar which was very tasty.

A few of the dishes I love were Salt and Pepper Squid in a bed of Bokchoy, Spicy Beef and Eggplant Cake with Red Curry topped with Holy Basil and the Popcorn Shrimp.  The Pinoy lumpia was yummy however the Thai Spring Roll taste even better.  The Elysa Rice is definitely a must-have when dining at Cafe Elysa especially if you are on a diet. It could be a guilt free fried rice because it seems that it wasn't cooked with oil (hehehe!).

Tangigue Ceviche

Tangigue Ceviche (Kinilaw as we call it) was very inviting and for the first time, i tasted a Kinilaw, the fish was fresh and i was definitely not dissappointed although it would have been best for me if it were a little bit spicy but for those who doesn't like Spicy Food, it is highly recommended.  The Chicken Liver Pate was good however it was served with too much Pate and the Pasta Bolognese with Basil and Grana Padano Cheese  was a bit salty for my taste.

Our Dessert, Apple and Banana Fritter was indeed great drowned with the sauce, as i was told.

The place is cozy and relaxing. I like the Interior of the Cafe because it feels like you are just having dinner at home.  It is also decorated with some paintings for sale. 

What's different about this Cafe is that they serve a Standard Local Menu and a Special Menu that changes based on the Menu of the Guest Chef.

The Local Menu will let you experience the culture of cebu through dining and what cebu menu is all about.  The Local Menu is based on the recipes of the long-time family cook of the Aznar’s.

october 22,2010 menu

On October 22, 2010. Cafe Elysa will serve a Special Menu - an American Cuisine with a Filipino Taste by their guest Chef Skippy Borromeo.
