NOT WORTH THE HYPE - 1 1/2 stars.
My expectations for Platito were extremely high, considering the popularity of this place on social media. I so badly wanted to like this place but was left extremely underwhelmed and disappointed.
My friend and I, came here on a Friday night. There were no host or servers to greet us, there was just a random sign outside the restaurant saying to "Please Wait To Be Seated". We were a little confused as to why the sign was outside of the restaurant and not inside. My friend and I were waiting on the side walk awkwardly while people on the patio were staring at us as well. We decided to just walk into the restaurant and still no one came to greet us or tell us where to go until I had to flag one of the staff down and asked to be seated.
We were taken upstairs to a really hot room. I immediately noticed how uncomfortable the chairs were and how sticky our table was.
When it came to order initially, we wanted to order the Chicken Inasal however; the server told us they ran out of chicken *DING!* - bad sign already. I mean how do you run out of chicken at 8pm on a Friday night?
So we ordered the Pork Sisig and the Adobo Fried Pork Chop. Both these dishes we did not enjoy at all. They looked great however; the dishes were extremely bland and dry. Did I mention they were $15 each? Anddddd - I had to season them myself.
To make things worse, the music kept skipping and at one point stopped all together. My friend and awkwardly sat in silence with another couple in the room.
Overall, my experience at Platito was not a pleasant one. I am disheartened I had to write such a negative review especially when I was rooting for this place.
