We are from the US and found this restaurant through Google search. Looking at the menu online, we saw that their pricing is on the higher end so we had high hopes. Here are our thoughts:

Pros: The restaurant is nice, feels modern Sisig was great! Probably the best item on their menu Lomi was good inihaw na pusit was also good! the older lady who helped us pack up our left overs was very nice

Cons: Lechon kawali. It was served cold, the serving was small unlike what’s shown in the pictures and not worth the price. Chicken inasal. It was dry and honestly didn’t taste like it was freshly grilled Chop suey. It tasted bland Service. As Filipinos, we are welcoming by nature, but we did not feel welcomed there somehow. We waited for someone to check-in on us, but nothing so we ended up calling them and asked for water refills. Mind you, it didn’t look like they were busy as it was just only us and another family during that time, but yet they didn’t appear attentive to their customers and we had to call their attention every time we needed something.

We understand that this restaurant is new and we hope that things improve...

Pricey! Checked this place out based on recommendations from relatives. New resto, opened in March. All the furniture looks new; some still had tags. Nice, clean set up. Service was OK. There didn't seem to be a system in place as to which staff looked after which tables. We waited a bit for someone to take our order and we ended up going to the front counter, assuming this was what we're supposed to do. However, subsequent customers had their order taken at their table, fairly quickly. Our meal was rather disappointing. My husband and I each had the "value meal" with pampano and squid respectively. At $20 a plate we expected to feel full but we were still hungry! Portions could certainly be increased. Also a pet peeve with family-run businesses is allowing their kids to run amok. Three small children were running in & out of the kitchen, unchecked. This is a business. Be professional. And I believe this is contrary to public health guidelines. Would really like to see more Filipino food establishments succeed but some...
