Nuvali Solenad 3 looms large with new openings

As of January 2016, additional stores have opened including the movie theaters. 

Among the newer restaurants spotted were TGIFridays, Pepper Lunch, Bonchon, Sbarro, Peri-Peri Charcoal Chicken, and Savory. 

Peri-Peri Charcoal Chicken is a Filipino restaurant chain and has a branch in Myanmar:

So far, we tried their cakes. This restaurant allows diners to cook their own pancakes at the table. They open early around 7am on weekends and 10am on weekdays.

Craft Coffee Revolution also open:

Here are a few restaurants that were among the first to open:

Banapple Restaurant

The Morning After

Sisig Society

Harry's Cafe de Wheels

The Solenad 3 food court opened an Indonesian food stall called Sendok and Garpu.  We tried their food at the original branch in another mall:

OTHER FOOD COMMENTS:

Bistro Charlemagne

The restaurant's food concept is not very clear. This Coconut Fish Fillet dish does not seem to match the seemingly New Orleans interiors.

Milky Moustache

This White Chocolate Mocha was delicious but can do better presentation with more whipped cream.

Bawai Restaurant

These fresh spring rolls lacked flavor.

As of June 2015

Ayala Land's real estate project in Sta. Rosa, Laguna known as Nuvali Solenad 3 is on the last stretch of its construction phase. The mall's nature-friendly thrust can be gleaned from the plant-filled themes that abound. However, it remains to be seen if substantial efforts in reducing carbon footprints, conserving water and other natural resources have been included in the whole plan. For example, recycling water or using solar energy are among the technologies that consumers can look out for.

Still under construction but expected to launch this year, Nuvali's Solenad 3 presents an imposing facade with its sheer size and seems to suggest its mighty reign versus competitors in the area. Ayala Land reports that the new mall is expected to add 2,000 square meters of gross leasable area.

Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf is among the first establishments to open in the new mall.

Another restaurant, The Morning After, is also on soft opening. Their facade is filled with plants.

An open air market is now selling potted plants and flowers.

An update: as of Christmas 2015, the movie theaters at Solenad 3 have opened.

As of March 2016, we have watched two movies and each theater had a different experience. The more expensive theater (P330 for a 2D movie) had very comfortable, wide seats while the cheaper movie (P200 for a 2D movie) had the usual seating capacity inside the theater.

Very near the Nuvali mall area is an Ayala hotel known as Seda Nuvali:
