| - Luxury Filipino-infused brunch without the luxury price or noisy Vegas strip crowds!
There's too much to say about this place; I'll stick to what I look for in a dining experience.
Troi, our server, truly wanted us to have a positive and fun brunch experience. He cracked jokes and was incredibly attentive - not too much though. Believe me, if you want to do bottomless mimosas here, make sure Troi is your server... trust me.
Free starter of cinnamon/sugar chips and banana/Nutella spread. Creamy! The chips were too addicting, had to push them away. Had to save room for my monstrous brunch!
Here's what we ordered: Green Eggs and Spam, Tocilog, and Barbacoa Benedict. The garlic fried rice was super garlicky with the Spam breakfast. It wasn't as garlicky with the other two; different batch? Eggs and Spam breakfast slightly salty - it's Spam - and the rice portion could've been bigger. Overall everything was four-star.
They understand how to really cook eggs - by the way, eggs that are dry and have no "run" to them are over-cooked. Not an opinion, culinary fact!
The pickled papaya ticked the sweet/sour box, the braised barbacoa melted in the mouth, the green Filipino butter on the eggs was a treat, and the poached egg was buttery perfection. I will return to served!
