I've wanted to try Lamesa forever! I was really surprised by the unexpectedly hip/trendy atmosphere and the tiny space. Service is friendly and prompt. This was my first foray into Filipino fare, and it did not disappoint!
Food is served family-style, so my friend and I ordered a few plates to share. Our Crispy Pork Belly was quite, well, crispy, and delicious, although the slaw that accompanied it was a tad too tart. The Chicken Adobo is a must-order: tender chicken that melds perfectly with the rich sauces on the plate; and the Garlic Fried Rice is a perfect accompaniment. Last, but certainly not least, we NEED to talk about the Broccolini. Normally, vegetable sides are not much to write home about. HOWEVER. That Broccolini is SO GOOD. The nutty sauce that dresses the perfectly cooked greens is just such a winner.
Overall, a fantastic meal. Looking forward to trying some of their other mealtime offerings!
