Came here on Veteran's day and was glad to see they were open. I was looking forward to trying their soufflé which the waiter informed us takes approximately 10 minutes to make so order it basically knowing it takes a while to make. The ambience was nice and not typical to any other Filipino restaurant I have been in. I am not a fan of Filipino food but I have a few dishes that I like. I ordered the pork sisig, my sister ordered the oxtail kare kare, and my niece ordered the calamari. When I asked if the dishes came with rice the waiter said it did not. It was $2 extra for rice. This is when it started to go downhill.
The calamari came out first before the other meals even though we asked it to be brought out with the other dishes. Not a big deal I guess but shows how much attention was paid to our request. Our waiter then came to inform us that they were making new batches of white rice so he asked if we would like garlic rice instead and he would not charge us for it. We said that was fine.
When the food came out I was excited to try the sisig. My first bite however was traumatizing. I did not know that the pork would be so sour! It was very vinegary and oily. I never had sisig before so I did not know what it was supposed to taste like but sour was not what I had in mind. It was more sour than adobo. The taste does grow on you but it definitely needs rice and the egg that came with it. The description of flavor should be on the menu. If it was I apologize but I missed it.
As for the other food; the calamari was alright and while the kare kare had tender pieces of oxtail, the sauce tasted weird. It was a weird gray color instead of a bright orange brown. The vegetables were also gray and not vibrant and very very oily. The vegetables looked grilled but tasted deep fried.
Before we finished eating we informed the waiter that we wanted to put in an order for the ube soufflé and that's when he told us they were all out of the soufflés. I was very disappointed after that. We ordered another dessert but it was not that great either.
When we reviewed the bill I noticed we were charged for the 2 sides of white rice that we ordered. I informed the waiter and he said that yes he still charged us for the rice but substituted for the garlic one instead and did not charge us for the garlic one. That was not what I thought would happen but I said fine, whatever.
Thankfully the waiter was nice enough to take the rice of the bill. I wish he took the dessert off the bill as well or gave us a discount for not having the items on the menu we wanted.
In summary - the service was okay, the food however was blah and overpriced. Most likely will not be back
