| - 6/28/16 visit. This place tests the idea of how one would think filipino should test like. It holds true to the gastrobub name by changing up the presentation, and taste of food.
We had gone in the afternoon when it was pretty pavemen + egg type of heat. When we arrived we entered the restaurant, and found out that the restaurant had no A/C. The staff said it was getting worked on. We were given a lot of water during our meal.
My husband and I had the lumpianitas, tamarind honey baby back ribs, beef steak and the pork sinigang. All the items were so tasty, and changed my idea of flip food, into fancy cuisine. BUT, the beef steak was too different for me to really enjoy. It tasted like familiar beef steak, but super light on the flavor, and lacked juices.
The reason for the 3 stars- the food, service, and price did not match. The server was not welcoming, but that is contributed to a no A/C work environment which we were sympathetic to.
I understand that it is important to be open minded about trying new food, but if the food doesn't pack a punch of flavor along with the kick to my wallet, then I can't say I would do it again.
