| - so I have been seeing this place pop up all over my instagram and my facebook, and being Filipino I was most definitely intrigued, anytime I see a new Filipino restaurant come up I am always super excited for it.
my friend and I decided to try this place out last night. we had two choices, here or another Filipino restaurant close by. we chose this place due the recent trend on our instagram pages with the ube (purple yam) waffles, which btw we did not order, none-the-less we went here since it new.
it was pretty late as we went after work at around 8ish, and the patio was packed(good sign so far). we decided to sit inside since it was dark out, and we didn't want to wait for a patio seat. Upon entry to the restaurant the cute wall designs and hipster feel of this restaurant really had me even more excited. The inside tables were up some stairs, and here is where I found out why everyone was sitting on the patio. The indoor seating was tight, only had two windows so if your claustrophobic, I suggest you wait to sit on the patio. although the ceilings were high, the place felt small and hot (they counteracted the heat with a fan). our table for 2 was small and cute and the center piece and drink menu were cute additions to the look of the restaurant, however the chairs were pretty uncomfortable *thumbs down*
They played music using spotify, which is not an issue or a negative in any way, its just at points in the night the music cut off. It was me and my friend and a couple left for the night, so the atmosphere got really, really quiet.(I am sure the couple that was seated like 6 ft away could hear me chew, and I like to think I am a quiet chewer). How do I know it was spotify you may ask, well I have the app, and the commercials is the dead give away.
The waitress was super friendly, and super sweet, however she asked us what we wanted to drink and only brought out my drink. when we requested again for my friends drink, she did apologize that she forgot, great accountability her end to apologize for her error.
now for the food, in my all honest opinion, lacked flavour. Now, I know this restaurant had a modern spin on the Filipino culture and it's food, however I must say the food I had was on the bland/dry side. the Lechon kawali I had for starters was good for the crispiness at the top, however it was very dry and serve with a lechon sauce called mang Thomas which was had a thick consistency. I also order the pork adobo(second choice, my first choice was sold out), I loved the presentation and the way it looked, but again lacked in flavour.
my friend order the pork sisig - I had a little taste, it was okay, but it also bland. my friend asked the waitress for salt and pepper shakers however they did not have, but the accommodated by giving us salt and pepper in ramekins.
overall, I do not think I will be going back anytime soon.
