| - This is my second time at Casa Filipina. I was hoping that this would merit a 4, maybe even 5 star review, but alas, I was disappointed and even embarrassed that I suggested this place to a fellow yelper.
I raved to Jetta R., "Oh this place is so cute! The food is amazing and the service was great! We should totally hit this place up for lunch."
We walk in the door and were treated like I was on my first visit. Seated, given menus and place mats; water and silverware were promptly produced.
We even had some of the curious dishes explained to us.
Just a note, the food was really good, the first (and second) time I ordered the Bistek Tagalog. This time I felt it was lacking juiciness and the meat was difficult to cut with a fork (but the first time I ordered this dish it was so succulent it melted in my mouth.)
One plus I didn't receive last time was the offer for a second helping of rice.
I asked for soy sauce and the waiter said he'd be right back, he disappeared and then started talking with another customer for 20 minutes.
Then Jetta and I decided to order dessert, it is a bakeshop after all!
I ordered the Creme Brule, but when they came to clean the table off I wanted to save my spoon. The gentleman (whom I think to be the owner) said that he would bring me a clean one. Jetta, being the lady she is decided to wait until my spoon arrived. After 10 minutes of waiting I told her to dig in, finally while taking food to another table, the owner apologized for forgetting about my spoon.
Usually I am one for forgiveness, but not when there are only four customers in your restaurant and Jetta and I are two of them.
I can't believe how I went from super impressed to completely devastated. I want to try you again CFB, but I just don't know.
