| - We've been to the original Goldilocks in San Francisco, so we expected the same type of offerings (backed goods, sweets). We were excited to see a renovated restaurant, and a nice selection on the menu, but sadly --- the service fell short on all levels.
Service: No one to greet us at the front of the house (everyone was busy by the bakery counter which was located on the other side of the restaurant). Half of the patrons dining, were either waiting for their food, looking around for service or had to flag someone down. There didn't appear to be a sense of urgency with the wait staff. We had to ask for menus, water. We ordered the sinigang jipon (shrimp), pancit lug lug, fresh lumpia and pinakbet. All arrived fresh and delectable (especially the sinigang), but the service was really lacking. No "How is everything?" "Would your like dessert?" It was a let down.
We typically order baked goods to go, so siopao was top on our list. Counter help was a lot friendlier and accommodating (complete contrast from the restaurant).
Would I go back? Perhaps. I would have given more stars, but the service definitely needs improvement.
